Rashod Bateman

Bateman was already off the FLEX radar, given his recent play and the Ravens' struggles. His downgrading only furthers that notion. Bateman still has a chance to play, but he is clearly still rehabbing his high-ankle sprain. Having him on the field would at least be helpful for QB Lamar Jackson (ankle).

Bateman returned from his high-ankle sprain last week but failed to secure his only target of the night on Thanksgiving. With Lamar Jackson's otherworldly efficiency taking a major step back this year, Bateman's boom/bust fantasy profile has resulted in almost exclusively busts this year. Bateman is buried in the WR6 ranks for Week 14.

Bateman made his return from the high-ankle sprain that cost him two games. He ran plenty of routes, but Lamar Jackson barely noticed him, throwing just one pass his way. He should get more involved next week as he continues to put distance between himself and the ankle issue, but fantasy managers cannot trust him until they see some production. He will sit somewhere in the WR5/6 ranks for Week 14 versus the Steelers.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (ankle) is off the final injury report and will play vs. the Bengals on Thursday night. He's averaged just 22 receiving yards per game this season and shouldn't be in fantasy lineups. But Bateman's return doesn't hurt QB Lamar Jackson's chances of a bounce-back game.

Bateman missed two weeks with what was reported to be a high-ankle sprain. He was limited in practice earlier in the week but was upgraded to a full session today. Lamar Jackson's primary field-stretcher is good to go for a potential shootout with the Bengals. Bateman will return to the WR5 ranks this week.
