Rashod Bateman, Miles Boykin Placed On The IR
Rashod Bateman (groin) and Miles Boykins (hamstring) were placed on the short-term injured reserve Wednesday. Bateman recently underwent groin surgery and won't be eligible to return until Week 4. The 21-year-old reportedly could be out even longer and might need up to eight weeks to fully recover. He is worth stashing in most fantasy leagues after the Ravens selected the Minnesota product 27th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Wide receiver Miles Boykin (hamstring) dealt with a hamstring issue and was also placed on the injured reserve. Baltimore will roll with Marquise Brown, Sammy Watkins, Devin Duvernay, and James Proche as the team's top wideouts. Brown has an ADP of 121.20 in FFPC Leagues and is the Ravens receiver fantasy managers should target in upcoming drafts after averaging 16 PPR points over his last five games in 2020.

Miles Boykin, Denzel Mims Get Workouts With Seahawks
Miles Boykin and Denzel Mims worked out for the Seattle Seahawks, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports. The Ravens drafted Boykin in the third round of the 2019 draft and he also spent time with the Steelers. The Jets drafted Mims as a second-rounder in 2020 and he has since spent time with the Lions, Jaguars, and Steelers. With the trio of DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Seattle is pretty set at the top of its wide receiver depth chart but either Boykin or Mims could add to the wide receiver room if given a chance with the Seahawks.

Miles Boykin Signs With Giants
Miles Boykin on Tuesday, according to Ari Meirov of the 33rd Team. The former third-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame spent the last two seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers after three years with the Baltimore Ravens. In 73 NFL games, the 27-year-old has hauled in just 38 receptions for 498 yards and seven touchdowns. Although New York has one of the weakest wide receiver groups in the league, it's hard to find a path toward fantasy football success for Boykin based on his lack of productivity to begin his career. In all likelihood, he will be a backup wideout or fail to make the 53-man roster ahead of Week 1.

Jaylen Warren, Miles Boykin Downgraded To Out
Jaylen Warren (hamstring) and wide receiver Miles Boykin (oblique) have been downgraded to out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals. Warren amassed 152 scrimmage yards over his last two games entering this week, and he had nine receiving yards before exiting Sunday's game. Benny Snell will operate as the Steelers' No. 2 back in his absence. Boykin, meanwhile, has just one catch this season. He's merely a depth piece for Pittsburgh, so his injury has minimal fantasy implications.
