Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Christian Watson

Saturday, December 6, 12:07 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman popped up as a limited participant on Thursday's practice report, but has since registered a full practice on Friday and is good to go against the Pittsburgh Steelers. While he'll be suiting up, his consistency hasn't been conducive to deploying him into fantasy lineups very often. He's only finished in WR3 territory or better twice, and he hasn't received more than two targets since Week 9 or more than two receptions since Week 3. The Steelers have given up the third-most fantasy points to opposing receivers this season, which gives Bateman a bit more value, but he's still projected as the WR70 on RotoBaller's rankings in Week 14.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson caught all four of his targets for 89 yards and two touchdowns during Sunday's Week 14 win over the Chicago Bears. Even with Jayden Reed returning to the lineup, Watson continued to operate as the Packers' top receiver. He now has five touchdowns over the last four weeks, and he has at least four catches in each of those four games. The 26-year-old continues to perform quite well in this crowded receiver room, largely thanks to Jordan Love's strong passing season. He has quietly ranked as the eighth-highest-scoring receiver in half-PPR leagues since making his season debut in Week 8. Watson ranks as a strong WR2 option heading into Week 15 against the Denver Broncos.
