Rashod Bateman

Bateman caught 45-of-67 targets for 756 yards and nine touchdowns en route to the PPR WR40 finish. His latter three receiving statistics are all regular season career-highs. Bateman remains a somewhat volatile producer week-to-week but intriguingly closes 2024 with his second-best yards per route run average (1.72). Fantasy managers should expect him to build on this strong showing next year. Bateman's field-stretching role is made easier by wide receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Isaiah Likely's continued development, giving Bateman decent odds of breaking into the WR3 ranks in 2025.

Bateman secured four of five targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Bateman was hit high on a tackle by Terrel Bernard and remained down after the play, laying on his back. Ravens trainers escorted him off the field under his own power but it is unclear as to whether he will return.

Baltimore took an early lead over Buffalo in its opening drive.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Bills. He remained sidelined in practice all week and would be uncertain for the AFC Championship if the Ravens win this one. Flowers' absence leaves WR Rashod Bateman and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely as Baltimore's best target bets.
