Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Dyami Brown

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman is going to get the ball "a lot more" next season and said that he expects the wideout to take a big step forward in 2024. Odell Beckham Jr. may not return in free agency, which would help, but most fantasy managers will likely want to see it before believing Harbaugh's words. The 24-year-old disappeared more often than not in his third NFL season in 2023, finishing with just 32 receptions for 367 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets in 16 regular-season games. A lot more would have been expected of the former first-rounder had we known he was going to stay healthy all year. Unless Zay Flowers or tight end Mark Andrews miss time with injury in 2024, Bateman will have an uphill battle to climb again for consistent fantasy value.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown caught both of his targets for 41 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks. After being quiet for most of the season, Brown came up huge in Week 10. With under a minute to go, the third-year receiver hauled in a clutch 35-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter to bring Washington within one point of Seattle. While it was a big play for the Commanders, this likely won't lead to much consistent success for the 24-year-old. It was nice to see some positive play, but Brown doesn't hold a strong enough role in this offense to be considered an option in any format.
