BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 50% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Who said the Ravens' offense can't be loved? I know, I know. It's not that great of a unit, but even then, it's delivering goodies on a reasonably good basis and Rashod Bateman--who debuted as lately as in Week 6--has been one of the main beneficiaries of Lamar Jackson's led offense.
Bateman's rostership as I'm writing this is about to get above 50% in Yahoo leagues, so make sure you land him before it's too late. Bateman has been targeted 6, 6, 8, and 8 times in his four matches. That's definitely good volume (around 25% target share) for someone stuck in an offense whose skill-position players have gotten targeted a 20th-best 308 times through Week 10. In fact, Bateman is already the fourth most-targeted Raven only six passes behind Sammy Watkins for third--having played two fewer games than the vet.
Bateman has improved his results on a weekly basis, going from WR58 to WR34, WR33, and a season-best WR19 this past Thursday facing Miami. The 14.0 PPR points marked his best tally of the season, and he reached it thanks to an 8-6-80 receiving line that he almost replicated back in Week 7 (6-3-80). Bateman is one of just three viable pass-catchers in Baltimore's offense, and that always merits rostering at least. There's nothing stopping Bateman from flying in between the WR2 and WR3 realms ROS, so make sure you get shares of him even the slightest deeper of leagues.
