Rashod Bateman News
Monday, May 4, 8:07 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been consistently underwhelming throughout his NFL career, and he can be dropped in many dynasty fantasy football leagues. Although he's a former first-round pick, Bateman has never finished higher than WR40 in PPR leagues. He has finished lower than WR65 in four of his five pro seasons. Most recently, in 2025, Bateman was held to just 19 catches, 224 yards, and two touchdowns. While the Ravens do want to throw the ball more, Lamar Jackson is expected to target plenty of other receivers, such as Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and even rookie Ja'Kobi Lane. Due to his lack of productivity over the years, Bateman has fallen down the pecking order and seems to have lost the trust of his quarterback. Furthermore, he could be fighting for a roster spot since the Ravens have a new head coach (Jesse Minter) and offensive coordinator (Declan Doyle). He can be dropped in most dynasty leagues.

Cedric Tillman News
Tuesday, May 5, 8:26 AM
The Cleveland Browns added rookie wide receivers KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston in the 2026 NFL draft, which makes The Athletic's Zac Jackson wonder if the team will eventually look to trade Cedric Tillman this summer. In addition to adding younger competition, the Browns are installing a new offense under head coach Todd Monken. Jackson lists Jerry Jeudy and Concepcion in the top tier of Browns wideouts, followed by Boston and Isaiah Bond in Tier 2. In Tier 3, he lists Tylan Wallace, Malachi Corley, Tillman, and Jamari Thrash. The Browns are hoping that Bond can take the next step with a full offseason, and Boston is a true outside receiver like Tillman. The Browns' major commitments are to Jeudy and the two rookies, which means, as of right now, Tillman might be the WR5 in Cleveland. The fact that Tillman doesn't contribute on special teams hurts his cause even more. The 26-year-old former third-rounder in 2023 out of Tennessee is entering the final season of his rookie deal and is coming off a season in which he caught just 21 passes for 270 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games. Tillman has failed to get going in his three NFL seasons, making him a cut candidate in dynasty leagues if he stays with the Browns.
