Rashod Bateman Week 7 Outlook - Bengals at Ravens

By Pat Fitzmaurice (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 21st 2021, 6:17am EDT

Bateman's NFL debut in Week 6 was a mixed bag. Returning from a core injury, the first-round draft pick from the University of Minnesota tied for the team-high in targets with six, but he caught only four of them for 29 yards, and his bobbling of a Lamar Jackson throw resulted in an interception. It's a bit too early to trust Bateman for fantasy purposes, though some managers might not have a choice in the Week 7 bye-pocalypse. Bateman is a midrange WR4 and not a consideration for DFS.
