Rashod Bateman Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh says WR Rashod Bateman will miss "a few weeks" with the foot injury he aggravated in Thursday night's win over the Buccaneers. That span does include the team's Week 10 bye, so we'll see just how many games he misses. Although it's been frustrating to this point -- thanks primarily to the foot injury -- we'd hang on to Bateman where it makes sense. Baltimore has the 2nd-best remaining schedule for WRs. That finishes especially nicely: at Pittsburgh, at Cleveland, vs. Atlanta and vs. Pittsburgh weeks 14-17.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said after the Thursday night win over the Bucs that WR Rashod Bateman "tweaked" his previous left foot injury. Harbaugh added that it's "not serious." Still, don't be surprised if Bateman is held out of Week 9, with a Week 10 bye looming.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman has been ruled out of Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs with a foot injury. It's presumably the same issue that cost him Weeks 5 and 6. Baltimore has a Week 10 bye, so we wouldn't be surprised if Bateman is held out of Weeks 9's game vs. the Saints.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bucs. He was a full participant in Wednesday’s practice, so we’re not expecting the foot to be much of an issue. Consider Bateman a WR3 with upside against a banged-up Bucs secondary.

The Buccaneers have ruled out CB Carlton Davis (hip) and DB Antoine Winfield Jr. (concussion). That certainly helps the matchup for Ravens QB Lamar Jackson and his pass-catchers. Winfield has spent more time at slot CB than safety so far this season. So these absences are especially helpful to WR Devin Duvernay and TE Mark Andrews. Duvernay and Davis have each primarily run on the same side of the formation, and Andrews remains Baltimore's biggest threat from the slot. We'll see whether Andrews and WR Rashod Bateman play through their "questionable" designations. Bateman did put in a full practice Wednesday, while Andrews hasn't practiced this week.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is listed as questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs. He put in a full practice on Wednesday, so he should be able to play. But we'll get Baltimore's inactives around 7 pm ET tomorrow.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) did not practice on Tuesday. He missed Weeks 5 and 6 with a foot injury before returning to play 56% of the offensive snaps in Sunday's win over the Browns. It's unclear if Bateman suffered a setback or is just getting some time off on the short week. We'll see what he does on Wednesday and how he's listed on the final injury report for Thursday night's game vs. the Bucs.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is active for today’s game vs. the Browns. He was limited in practice all week, so it’s fair to assume that Bateman still isn’t at 100%. Consider him a risk/reward WR3.

There's "optimism" that Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) plays vs. the Browns today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Bateman has missed the past 2 games but "practiced well" this week, per Rapoport. We'll get Baltimore's inactives around 11:30 am ET.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That gives him a shot to return for this weekend's game vs. the Browns, but we'll see how he progresses over the next few days.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He didn’t practice all week, so consider him iffy for Week 7. Bateman’s absence keeps Devin Duvernay in the WR3 mix this week.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) remained sidelined on Thursday. He's looking unlikely to make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Giants.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) remained out of practice Wednesday. HC John Harbaugh indicated Monday that his wideout has a chance to play Week 6, but we'll need to see him get back onto the practice field.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh said Monday that WR Rashod Bateman (foot) "might" be back for this weekend's game vs. the Giants. Bateman didn't practice at all last week and didn't seem close to playing against Cincinnati on Sunday night. We'll track his practice participation this week, but fantasy owners should plan on being without him again at least for now.

Stepping up for an injured Rashod Bateman, Ravens WR Devin Duvernay totaled 5 catches for 54 yards. He added 24 rushing yards on 3 attempts, including one 12-yard burst where he picked up a fumble that hit him when in motion. Overall, he handled a 21.8% target share -- a clear 2nd on the team behind Mark Andrews. Duvernay’s dynamic skill set should keep him on the fantasy radar going forward, at least in deep formats. Consider Bateman questionable for Week 6 (at Giants) with his foot injury.

Ravens WR Rashod Bateman (foot) is out for Sunday night's game vs. the Bengals. That leaves Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson, James Proche and Tylan Wallace as Baltimore's top 4 WRs. Duvernay has some flier appeal, but expect QB Lamar Jackson to lean heavily on TE Mark Andrews.
