Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Christian Watson

Saturday, November 8, 10:11 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been one of the biggest boom-or-bust options throughout his career, next to maybe Jameson Williams. So far this season, Bateman has one finish above a WR3 and finished just inside WR3 territory in half-PPR formats in Week 9. His ceiling is much higher with Lamar Jackson under center, but he's only amassed 29 targets so far this season and has turned that into 15 catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns. The Minnesota Vikings are currently ranked as the eighth-toughest defense against receiver groups, but they've been very vulnerable the last three weeks. That gives Bateman some flex appeal, but only in deeper leagues.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson (knee) and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) were both limited participants during Friday's practice session. Watson recently made his season debut in Week 8, so he's still working his way back into a full workload. The Packers are likely limiting him in practice as a precaution. Barring any setbacks, Watson should be out there for Monday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wicks has missed the last two games due to a lingering calf issue. He has been limited in both practice sessions to begin the week, which points to him being active on Monday. Fellow wideout Matthew Golden (shoulder) is unlikely to play, so Wicks could see an expanded role.
