Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Emeka Egbuka

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Bateman failed to practice every day this week and will now miss his first game of the season. The 25-year-old has totaled 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets this season as the WR2 behind Zay Flowers. His absence will likely lead to more opportunities for Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews, as well as more snaps for veteran DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. It's a tough matchup for Baltimore's pass catchers at Cleveland, potentially in nasty weather, leaving Flowers and Andrews as the only viable fantasy options.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Emeka Egbuka bounced back nicely during last week's game against the New England Patriots. The rookie wideout posted a few duds over the last couple of games, but played well last weekend. Egbuka hauled in six of his 13 targets for 115 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The Bucs offense is extremely banged up, so Egbuka should likely continue seeing double digit targets. Sadly, Egbuka and quarterback Baker Mayfield haven't always been on the same page. The upside is too high to be ignored, so plug in Egbuka as a WR1 against the Buffalo Bills in Week 11.
