BALLER MOVE: Add in 14-Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 29% of Yahoo Leagues
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been a massive fantasy football surprise this season. The veteran wide receiver is the WR23 for the year, averaging nine half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He has been one of the more underrated wide receivers in fantasy football lately.
Bateman has averaged 3.5 receptions on 5.3 targets for 57 receiving yards, 0.5 touchdowns, and 10.5 fantasy points per game over the past month, totaling 14.4 or more twice. More importantly, the former Minnesota star led the Ravens with a season-high eight targets in Week 10 despite Diontae Johnson joining the team.

While Johnson should see his role on offense expand as he learns more of the playbook, Bateman has proved he can be fantasy-relevant with a limited target share. The veteran wide receiver is a boom-or-bust high-upside WR3 in deeper leagues.
