Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or George Pickens

Saturday, November 25, 11:38 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has yet to secure a double-digit fantasy outing this season but over the last couple of weeks, he seems to be trending in the right direction. Bateman popped up on the injury report earlier this week with a foot issue but has since been removed from the report and looks to be a full go for the game against the Chargers. While there should be more targets to go around with Mark Andrews (ankle) out, Bateman isn't necessarily a lock to receive more work. He's a desperation flex play at best right now.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver George Pickens finished with three receptions for 58 yards on five targets in a Week 12 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. He gained 43 yards on a perfect deep pass from quarterback Kenny Pickett in the fourth quarter. Although Pickens failed to come through with a great fantasy performance, his presence was still felt as Pittsburgh posted 421 yards of offense. The Steelers were willing to take shots down the field in their first contest since parting ways with former offensive coordinator Matt Canada, which should raise Pickens' weekly upside going forward. The 22-year-old will look to capitalize on a soft matchup against the Arizona Cardinals next week.
