Rashod Bateman

Rashod Bateman (foot) will undergo surgery on his foot, ending his 2022 season.

Fantasy Impact

It's a massive blow for the Ravens and fantasy managers who've been holding onto Bateman, hoping for the breakout that many expected to come. Devin Duvernay now steps into the role of the top WR on the Ravens, with Isaiah Likely and Demarcus Robinson emerging as depth options.

Rashod Bateman is not practicing on Thursday ahead of Baltimore's Week 9 tilt with the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

No real surprise here, as Bateman is expected to miss multiple weeks after reaggravating his prior foot injury. The second-year speedster will likely be held out until he is back closer to 100% healthy given the recurring issues he's been having. Devin Duvernay should remain atop the depth chart as the de facto WR1 for the Ravens until Bateman can return. Duvernay should be able to retain some boom-or-bust WR3 value whenever Baltimore decides to pass the football.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that WR Rashod Bateman's foot injury is worse than originally anticipated, and he is expected to miss multiple weeks, according to The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec.

Fantasy Impact

Bateman missed multiple weeks of action before returning, but he got injured again during Week 8's contest. Now the sophomore receiver will miss even more time. The Ravens could be in the market to pick up a WR via trade, but in the meantime, WR Devin Duvernay has shown flex value.

Rashod Bateman (foot) has been ruled out for the remainder of the game against Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Impact

Bateman came into the week dealing with a foot injury that has bothered him for weeks. Bateman was listed as questionable heading into Thursday night and only saw one target before exiting the game. Fantasy managers will want to monitor his status heading into Week 9.

According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, WR Rashod Bateman is officially active to play on Thursday night against Tampa Bay.

Fantasy Impact

Bateman has been trending in the direction of playing after missing some time with an injury. Bateman operates as the Ravens' No. 1 option among WRs and can be expected to see volume in a more pass-happy Ravens offense than in the past. He will likely work behind TE Mark Andrews in the target department, though, who is also active for TNF.
