Rashod Bateman Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (illness) is listed as questionable but is expected to suit up for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Bateman is likely to play despite missing practice all week due to a lingering illness. The Ravens are likely going to wait and see how Bateman feels closer to game time before making a final decision. Even if he's active, Bateman isn't a reliable fantasy option. Since Week 11, Bateman has hauled in three receptions for 30 yards. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help, even if Bateman is active. The absence of Bateman would mean slightly increased value for DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace in a must-win game that will decide the AFC North division.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (illness) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday with an illness, according to Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun. Bateman will probably have to return to practice on Friday to avoid being ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday night in a game that will decide the AFC North. For fantasy football purposes, the 26-year-old Bateman can be ignored either way, as the former first-rounder has been very quiet after a career year in 2024. He enters Week 18 action with just 19 receptions for 224 yards and two touchdowns on 38 targets in his fifth year in the NFL. Bateman has more than two catches in a game only once this year, and that was all the way back on Sept. 22, when he had five grabs for 63 yards and a touchdown against the Detroit Lions.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has finished as a WR3 or higher in just two games all year in half-PPR formats. Once in Week 3 as the WR15 and again in Week 9 as the WR36. His average finish this season is the WR78, which firmly puts him outside of the start-worthy options in most fantasy leagues. The Green Bay Packers have been quite generous to opposing receivers (ranked 30th over the last four weeks), but Bateman will most likely have Tyler Huntley behind center in this matchup. In Huntley's other two starts this year, Bateman received one and four targets respectively, with a combined three catches for 59 yards. For fantasy managers in their championship game, Bateman projects as the WR84, which would be very hard to trust in a must-win situation.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has not been a dependable fantasy option throughout the 2025 season, and that trend should continue as he returns from injury in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. Bateman is the overall WR93 in scoring this year, catching just 18 of his 35 targets through 11 games. He has finished with more than two catches in just one game this year, and two of his games have resulted in zero catches. Bateman remains stuck behind Zay Flowers in a wide receiver room that handles a below-average number of targets. This week, he'll face off against a Patriots secondary facing injury-related question marks. Superstar cornerback Christian Gonzalez is healthy, but there's less certainty about Marcus Jones (knee) and Carlton Davis III (hip), who are both questionable. Regardless of their injury statuses, Bateman shouldn't be started in fantasy football this week. He ranks as RotoBaller's WR78 for Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is back at practice on Wednesday, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Bateman will most likely be listed as limited on Wednesday, but it gives him a chance to play in Week 16 against the New England Patriots on Sunday night after he missed the Week 15 win over the Cincinnati Bengals. The 26-year-old isn't on the fantasy radar during the fantasy playoffs, even if he's able to return this weekend for the Ravens. He has been extremely disappointing after a career year in 2024. In 11 games in 2025, Bateman has only 18 receptions for 217 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets. If Bateman is active this Sunday night against New England, he's unlikely to be very involved in what has been a pretty lackluster Ravens offense. Bateman has had over two catches in a game this year only once, back on Sept. 22. UPDATE: Bateman was a full-go in Wednesday's practice.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially inactive on Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman was a mid-week addition to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report and will now sit out a crucial divisional clash this weekend. The 26-year-old had the best year of his NFL career in 2024, but he has not continued that momentum into 2025, as he's caught just 18 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets through 11 games this year. His absence against a porous Bengals defense will create more opportunities for veteran DeAndre Hopkins, who won't be a terrible sleeper choice as a WR4/flex in Week 15. Bateman was limited in Thursday's practice before sitting out on Friday. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to return in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. He is currently rostered in only 14% of Yahoo leagues.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) faces the 31st-ranked pass defense of the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 15 divisional matchup that features the second-highest over/under of the week. While there may be some temptation to find as many pieces as possible from this game, Bateman carries a questionable tag into Sunday after logging a limited practice on Thursday and missing Friday's session entirely. Even without questions concerning his ankle, the Bengals have been most susceptible to tight ends, suggesting that Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely are the most likely benefactors of the plus matchup, while Bateman has finished outside the top 35 wide receivers in all but one game this season. Bateman is RotoBaller's WR74 for the week and should not be in consideration for the fantasy playoffs.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially questionable for Week 15 after being a non-participant during Friday's practice session. Bateman popped up with an ankle injury on Thursday's injury report. It appears to be serious enough to put his status in danger for the upcoming rematch against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman has been a non-factor in fantasy formats for most of the season in a Ravens offense that has been a shell of its explosive 2024 self. If he sits out, DeAndre Hopkins and Devontez Walker would likely see expanded roles behind Zay Flowers. Neither wideout can be trusted as a starting option in 12-team fantasy formats for Week 15. The 26-year-old Bateman has only 18 receptions in 11 games in 2025 for 217 yards and two touchdowns.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) was added to the Week 15 injury report and was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to an ankle injury. Bateman has had an underwhelming season and hasn't been very involved in Baltimore's offense lately. The 26-year-old wideout has just one game with more than two receptions this season, which came back in Week 3 versus the Detroit Lions, when he hauled in five of seven targets for 63 yards and one of his two touchdowns on the year. Bateman appeared on the injury report last week with an ankle issue as well, but he registered two full practices and played on Sunday against the Steelers. Bateman will profile as a low-upside, deep-league flex option if he's active in Week 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals, who he went catchless against two weeks ago on Thanksgiving night.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman popped up as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but has since registered a full practice on Friday and is good to go against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he'll be suiting up, his consistency hasn't been conducive to deploying him into fantasy lineups very often. He's only finished in WR3 territory or better twice, and he hasn't received more than two targets since Week 9 or more than two receptions since Week 3. The Steelers have given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, which gives Bateman a bit more value, but he's still projected as the WR70 on RotoBaller's rankings in Week 14.
