He should see a rise in value.
Rashod Bateman will get the opportunity to be the WR1 in the Baltimore offense after Marquise Brown was traded to the Cardinals. The lack of production in his rookie season is a concern, as he ranked 70th in points per route run. Bateman was hurt during the season and played with backup Tyler Huntley, which should give him some cover for a weak start to his career. Now Bateman will be thrown into the WR1 role and should see a big uptick in value.
