Rashod Bateman May Have Some Flex Appeal in Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 11:13 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is in the midst of quite a rough fantasy season. Outside of his big game against the Detroit Lions, he's scored a total of nine fantasy points in the other five games in half-PPR formats. It turns out that when Lamar Jackson (hamstring) is hurt, there's no one to throw a deep ball to Bateman. In Week 8 against the Chicago Bears, Bateman could have his starting QB back under center with a good matchup in front of him. Nahshon Wright is likely to lineup opposite him, and he's allowed 8.6 yards per target and four touchdowns so far this year. Bateman's value is quite dependent on Jackson playing, so he'll be off the fantasy radar if the two-time MVP can't suit up.

Chig Okonkwo Looking to Bounce Back

Friday, October 24, 9:58 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo is hopeful for a bounce back game after posting a dud last week. In Week 7, Okonkwo gave fantasy managers nothing as he failed to haul in either of his targets in the loss to the New England Patriots. Before that, Okonkwo hauled in six receptions against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 6. That being said, this game could've been a fluke, but Okonkwo hasn't been a great option regardless. At best, Okonkwo should be viewed as a TE2 for the upcoming matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.
