Rashod Bateman Expected To Make His Debut Sunday
Rashod Bateman (groin) is expected to come off Injured Reserve to make his NFL debut in Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to head coach John Harbaugh. It's perfect timing with Sammy Watkins (hamstring) having already been ruled out for Sunday's showdown. Bateman, a first-round pick this spring, is unlikely to have a big role in his NFL debut, though, so fantasy managers that have been stashing him need to keep expectations in check in his first NFL game. There's a good chance that James Proche II, Devin Duvernay and even Miles Boykin play more snaps than Bateman if he's active. But Bateman has the skills to eventually become Baltimore's No. 2 wideout next to Marquise Brown.

Rashod Bateman Looks To Return To The End Zone Against Bills
Rashod Bateman scored his first career postseason touchdown in the big win over the Pittsburgh Steelers during the Wild Card round. It's likely going to be a bit more difficult against the Buffalo Bills as they roll into freezing cold weather with a chance of a bit of snow. Derrick Henry and company dominated in Week 4 while Bateman saw just one target and caught it for 23 yards. That seems to be all Bateman needs, however, as he had two catches for 24 yards and the touchdown last week. With Zay Flowers (knee) listed as doubtful, Bateman could serve as the outlet outside of the backfield and tight ends.

Rashod Bateman Catches First Postseason Touchdown
Rashod Bateman came into Saturday's Wild-Card game as the No. 1 receiver with Zay Flowers (knee) inactive and got in on the scoring action to help beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his third career postseason game, Bateman finished with two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown on two targets. His 15-yard touchdown started off all of the scoring in the first quarter when quarterback Lamar Jackson found him going over the middle in the end zone. That was also Bateman's first postseason touchdown in his four-year career. He'll look to find the end zone again in the divisional round against either the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans next weekend.

Rashod Bateman An Intriguing DFS Option In Wild-Card Round
Rashod Bateman steps into the top receiver role with Zay Flowers (knee) getting ruled out for the opening playoff matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While Bateman did score against the Steelers in their last outing, he has only posted 44 total yards and three receptions on eight targets. He'll likely play a bigger role in the offense rather than serve as a deep threat while both tight ends will play important parts as well. Bateman always carries big play ability, but the Steelers' corners are good in coverage which makes him more of an intriguing option in bigger DFS tournaments rather than cash games.
