Rashod Bateman Practicing in Non-Contact Jersey

Thursday, October 8, 9:25 AM

After logging a limited practice participation on Wednesday, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (shoulder) was spotted back on the field on Thursday, wearing a red non-contact jersey. While it is unclear when Bateman picked up the shoulder injury that has limited him to begin the week, he was on the field for fewer than half of the Ravens' offensive snaps in a Week 4 win over the Titans, easily his lowest snap share of the season. Bateman became a popular waiver pickup with teammate Zay Flowers (hamstring, foot) hampered by injuries early in the year, but he has not topped three targets or two receptions in either of the last two games, and now, at less than full health, he is no longer a player who needs to remain rostered.

Dyami Brown Losing Fantasy Value After Fumble and Quarterback Downgrade

Saturday, September 26, 8:28 PM

Washington Commanders wide receiver Dyami Brown briefly flashed fantasy upside with six targets in the passing game last week, but all signs point to the 26-year-old remaining off the fantasy radar going forward. Outside of the six-target performance, Brown has delivered an underwhelming season. He was held without a catch in Week 1, he lost a fumble last week, and he's heading for a quarterback downgrade as Marcus Mariota steps in for the injured Jayden Daniels (elbow). Plus, he's somewhere around third or fourth on the depth chart, competing for snaps with Antonio Williams as the two operate behind Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs. A Mariota-led offense doesn't have the ability to support more than two fantasy-relevant receivers, so McLaurin and Diggs are the only players worth starting right now. Brown can be left on waivers in most leagues.
