Rashod Bateman Week 10 Outlook - Bengals at Ravens

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 7th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Bateman is an easy fade this week. The correlation between flexing and sitting Bateman has boiled down to their ability to defend deep passing. Bateman ranks second on the team in deep targets. Deep targets make up 21.6% of his target volume this season. Cincy has allowed the sixth-fewest deep passing yards per game and the fourth-lowest CPOE to deep passing. While I don't project Diontae Johnson to have a 70% route share this week, the risk remains that in two wide receiver sets, Bateman's snaps could be cannibalized by Johnson. Sit Bateman this week.
