Rashod Bateman Arrested for Allegedly Smashing Car Windows with Newborn Child Inside

Friday, August 21, 2:10 PM

According to TMZ, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been accused of three charges relating to a June incident, including Battery-Family Violence (first offense), Reckless Conduct, and Criminal Damage to Property, according to TMZ. Per reports, Bateman allegedly smashed the windows of a victim's car that had a newborn child inside. Per Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner, a Ravens spokesperson said the team is in contact with league officials but would not offer further comment at this time, given that it is still a pending legal matter. Fantasy managers should continue to pay close attention to this case as it is still ongoing. In the event Bateman were to face a suspension, the team's top wide receiver, Zay Flowers, and training camp breakout Ja'Kobi Lane could see an even larger target share early in the season.

Andrei Iosivas Not on the Fantasy Radar in Any Draft Formats

Thursday, August 13, 6:42 PM

Cincinnati Bengals 26-year-old wide receiver Andrei Iosivas enters his fourth NFL season as the projected No. 3 receiver in this lethal Bengals passing attack. Over his first three seasons with the Bengals, he has earned 144 targets, hauled in 84 of them for 1,030 yards, and 12 touchdowns. Over a three-year span, that is nothing to write home about, and he is clearly an afterthought when you are behind guys like Tee Higgins and Ja'Marr Chase. 2025 was his lowest touchdown production since entering the league, with only two, after he had six in 2024 and four in 2023. The only real path for Iosivas to be fantasy relevant is if one of those receivers were to get hurt, and even then, he would be viewed as a low-end WR3 at best. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the WR90, and that's after he finished the 2025 season as the WR58.
