Rashod Bateman

"A boom or bust contributor that will be hard to trust in your lineup, unless it's best ball."

The Ravens double-down on Bateman heading into the season and it paid off with career numbers in yardage (756) and touchdowns. Bateman played a full season for the first time in his NFL career and delivered a sterling 16.8 yards-per-catch average in the Todd Monken offense. 

Monken knows how to leverage the best of Bateman and it led to multiple teams making trade offers before Bateman signed his new deal in Baltimore. 

I think it hasn't dawned on fans and the fantasy community that Lamar Jackson is a prolific thrower of the football who can support multiple fantasy options in the passing game. Bateman may lack a ceiling of 1,200-1,300 yards in his role, but 800-1,100 yards is within the realm of sanity. 

So is the idea of Jackson supporting 4-5 options who earn between 600-1,000 yards. Consider Bateman a high-floor WR3-WR4 with big-play weeks that can carry your team.

He's a former first-round pick and a very good athlete. He ran a 4.43 40-yard dash and posted respectable jumps of 36" vertical and 10'03" broad. He's a big play machine in one of the best offenses in the NFL. Bateman led all receivers in outside snap share (91.4%) and had the ninth-highest Average Depth of Target (15.2) last season.
