Rashod Bateman returned to the shadow realm last week with Zay Flowers active. In the two games this season that Flowers has played, Bateman has had an 8.9% target share with 0.80 YPRR, one red zone target, zero deep targets, and a 12.1% first-read share. Bateman is essentially Flowers' handcuff. He's a must-sit with Flowers back in the lineup.
With Zay Flowers out with a hamstring injury in Week 2, Rashod Bateman stepped up and had 7-88-1 on nine targets.
Flowers returned in Week 3, played only 21 snaps, and finished with 5-84-0 on six targets vs. the Cowboys. Bateman had 2-37-0 on three targets and 56 snaps.
There's no question that Flowers is the alpha receiver in Baltimore, but Bateman is the undisputed No. 2, and the Lamar Jackson-led Ravens offense might be potent enough to support two fantasy-relevant receivers.
