Rashod Bateman
2025 Season Outlooks
Bateman was a great Best Ball option last year becausee of his nine touchdowns. He had outbursts of 23, 22.1, 18.6 points last year, and scored four touchdowns in those three games combined. He scored twice more in the playoffs for the Ravens. That being said, he was also held below 50 receiving yards in nine of his 17 games. There just aren't enough pass attempts in this offense for a tertiary option to be a reliable Fantasy producer. Bateman is best left to the late rounds of Best Ball drafts, or very deep Dynasty rosters. If you need to start him in a pinch, you'lll have to hope he scores a touchdown if he is going to help your Fantasy team.
Bateman is entering his fifth season (all with Baltimore) following a big leap forward in 2024. Bateman appeared in all 17 regular season games for the first time and, though his 15.4% target share was the second lowest of his career, he posted career-best marks in yardage, touchdowns and fantasy points. Targets remained inconsistent, however, and led to extremely boom/bust production (eight single-digit fantasy point games and a 47th-place finish in PPG, the latter of which is a career best). The 25-year-old is a capable situational deep threat (he's ranked top 12 in aDOT two years in a row), but he's a good bet for touchdown regression to the mean (4.6 expected TDs last season) and his usage is too volatile to allow weekly flex consideration.
