Rashod Bateman

He added nine carries for 52 yards. Four of his touchdowns were fairly elementary -- Mark Andrews found himself wide open in (or near) the end zone twice, and a screen to Justice Hill with four blockers in front of him after a failed blitz was an easy walk-in. To formally conclude the game's competitive section, he dumped it off to Derrick Henry in the red zone for another score. Jackson also mixed in a 59-yard bomb touchdown to Rashod Bateman over Zyon McCollum. He's playing better than he did last year and he won the MVP last year. Jackson merely threw for 223/1/2 and 186/2/0 against the Browns last year, but he remains a likely QB1 overall rank next week.

Bateman reeled in a 49-yard deep shot touchdown to help the Ravens (mostly) put Tampa Bay away in the third quarter. He added another field-flipper in the second quarter for 59 yards. It's going to be hard to predict when Bateman will explode and his target volume has remained fairly low, but this is three games over 58 yards in a row and two touchdowns over those games. Perhaps this is finally the year Bateman fulfills some long-forgotten fantasy promise.

He added a 19-yard carry. Really helped you out, didn't he? Flowers also had a fumble clank off his helmet when he was in motion in the second quarter. This was largely about Rashod Bateman winning deep routes and Lamar Jackson rewarding Bateman rather than anything Flowers did wrong. Flowers falls back into the WR3 ranks with Bateman's recent emergence, even if he is the more consistently-targeted player.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman caught all four of his targets for 121 yards including a 59-yard TD catch. When WR Zay Flowers went down early with an injury, Bateman became the primary WR targets for QB Lamar Jackson

Don't look now, but Bateman has gone for 50-plus yards in back-to-back weeks and is averaging six targets per game over that span. His 71 yards against the Commanders were his most in a game since Week 2 of the 2022 season and marked just the fifth time in his career he cracked the 60-yard mark. He's becoming easier to trust as a WR4 in deeper fantasy leagues and could have some upside in Week 7 against the Buccaneers.
