Rashod Bateman

The Ravens didn't take any big swings on receivers this offseason as they opted to roll with returning members of last year's team as targets for quarterback Lamar Jackson's passes in 2024.

Harbaugh continues to praise Bateman, who is entering his fourth season with the team. The former first-rounder has had an underwhelming start to his career, totaling 93-1167-4 in 34 games, with injuries slowing some of his development. Bateman caught 32 passes for 367 yards and one touchdown last season but is expected to serve as the WR2 in an offense that will feature heavy doses of Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews. If he lands in that role, Bateman could have some fantasy upside entering the season, but expectations should be tempered in an offense that will still lean heavily on the run.

Bateman has been nursing a foot injury ever since he underwent season-ending surgery in November of 2022. The injury didn't stop him from suiting up in 16 regular season games last season, but it landed him on the PUP list to start training camp last season and kept him sidelined for nearly three weeks of camp. The former first-round pick is expected to see a much larger role after playing well behind Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. last season. He signed a two-year, $14.4 million extension earlier this offseason after totaling 32 catches for 367 yards and one touchdown in 2023. Bateman is under contract through 2026, but it's safe to say that this season is a make-or-break year for the three-year vet. He can be cut without a dead cap hit next offseason.
