BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~70 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~85
ANALYSIS: While the Baltimore Ravens offense is run-centric, there were 267 targets vacated over this past offseason. More importantly, Marquise Brown was traded to the Arizona Cardinals this past April, leaving the top wide receiver role open for Rashod Bateman to occupy.
Brown saw 146 targets in 2021, finishing with the second most on the team behind only tight end Mark Andrews. Bateman will now inherit the high target share, improving on the 68 he had last season during his 12-game run by a high amount.
The passing volume in Baltimore was increased last season due to a slew of injuries at the running back position and the loss of quarterback Lamar Jackson for five games. However, there are so many vacated targets that Bateman should easily double his total from last season as the leading receiver for the Ravens.
Baltimore favors heavily targeting the tight end position and their top wide receiver. With the top competition for Bateman being Devin Duvernay and James Proche II, there is little reason to worry that he will have trouble clearing 125 targets in 2022. Even in a low pass-volume offense, Bateman is poised to see a massive increase in both targets and fantasy value.
