Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Rashod Bateman

Sunday, September 24, 8:45 PM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson caught seven of his 13 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown in the team's 28-24 loss to the Chargers in Week 3. Jefferson found the end zone for the first time this season, as he and quarterback Kirk Cousins connected on a 52-yard pass to take the lead in the fourth quarter. Jefferson has been on a roll to start his fourth season, as he has amassed 458 receiving yards through the team's first three games. He will remain one of the most valuable assets in fantasy football moving forward as he looks to keep it rolling in Week 4 versus the Panthers.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (hamstring) had just one catch (three targets) for six yards during the narrow loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. The 23-year-old has struggled in 2023-24, amassing six grabs for 53 yards. But he tweaked his hamstring versus the Colts, which may explain his lack of production. At this point, there's a chance Bateman won't be available for the AFC showdown against the Browns in Week 4. If that's the case, Nelson Agholor and Isaiah Likely could see more looks from Lamar Jackson. However, neither man should produce enough to be relevant in any fantasy format.
