Rashod Bateman's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) was a full participant in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Bateman injured his knee in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and had last week's bye to get his knee some extra treatment. After the week of rest and recovery, the 25-year-old pass-catcher looks good to return this weekend when the Ravens head to New York to face the Giants. The former 27th overall pick in 2021 out of Minnesota has seen more involvement this year and has 35 catches for a career-high 574 yards and a career-high five touchdowns on 55 targets in 13 games in 2024 as Baltimore's WR2 behind Zay Flowers. In a plus matchup against the Giants, Bateman should be on the fantasy map in Week 15 as a WR4/flex. Bateman enters the week as the WR42 in PPR formats.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) returned to the team's unofficial practice on Monday as they come out of their bye week. Bateman played only 18 offensive snaps in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles due to a knee injury. The 25-year-old's injury isn't considered serious, though, so with the benefit of a Week 14 bye, he could be ready to play in Week 15 against the New York Giants. Diontae Johnson will be suspended during Week 15, so it would be Zay Flowers, Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace serving in three-wide sets for the Ravens if Bateman is held out this week. We'll have a better idea of Bateman's Week 15 status once the Ravens return to official practice on Wednesday. Bateman has had a much bigger role on offense in 2024 but is still averaging only 8.7 half-PPR fantasy points, which ranks him 48th among all wideouts.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) has a sore knee and is getting treatment after getting injured in the Week 13 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. "It's not a long-term thing," Harbaugh said. Bateman avoided a serious injury on Sunday, and with the Ravens going on bye this week, it sounds as though the 25-year-old will have a good shot at returning for a Week 15 tilt against the New York Giants. He played only 18 snaps on offense on Sunday before getting injured and wasn't targeted at all. Surprisingly, neither Nelson Agholor or Diontae Johnson finished with a catch -- Johnson didn't even play an offensive snap -- after Bateman got hurt. In the event that Bateman isn't available coming out of the bye week, tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely could benefit the most in the receiving pecking order behind top wideout Zay Flowers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Eagles. The 25-year-old entered Week 13 by catching a touchdown in two of the last three games. However, he'll finish this one without making any statistical contributions. Fortunately, the Ravens are off in Week 14, so he'll have more time to recover. But until he's back on the field, Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews should benefit the most.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been a real boom-or-bust option this year as he's turned into the deep threat that the team hoped for since the 2021 NFL Draft. He's produced a few weeks of WR1 production, but more weeks outside of WR3 territory. In Week 13, based on normal alignment, Bateman would go up against Quinyon Mitchell who has been one of the top cornerbacks in the league during his rookie season. Bateman could be a flex play in deep leagues, but is hard to trust for high-level production.
