Rashod Bateman News
Saturday, October 24, 8:37 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (shoulder) logged two full practices in a row and is good to go for Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman has had two good games and four quiet games so far this season, and has been mostly dependent on injuries to his fellow receivers to get more opportunity. His best game of the season came in Week 2 when Zay Flowers was out, putting up seven catches for 88 yards and a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. He also managed five receptions for 62 yards in Week 5, but with rookie Ja'Kobi Lane getting eased into the lineup after returning from injury, Bateman played just 30% of snaps last week. While a Lamar Jackson return does boost his value, he is simply not reliable enough to be in fantasy lineups. Unless you are in a very deep league banking on a huge Lamar passing game, Bateman is best left on fantasy benches in Week 7.

Ja'Kobi Lane News
Saturday, October 24, 2:19 PM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane returned to the lineup in a 13-10 Week 6 loss to the Cleveland Browns and immediately played a role, catching four out of five targets for 40 yards (10.0 yards per reception). Lane had missed the previous four games due to a stint on injured reserve after suffering a wrist injury in a Week 1 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Lane, who created a lot of buzz for himself during training camp, will play with backup quarterback Tyler Huntley in a Week 7 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals, as Lamar Jackson (ankle) remains out with an ankle injury. Lane is currently owned in just 17% of Yahoo leagues. He has competition for targets with fellow wide receivers Zay Flowers and Rashod Bateman, as well as tight end Mark Andrews, but Lane is a streaming option for a Week 7 matchup against Cincinnati. Lane ranks as RotoBaller's No. 37 wideout for Week 7.
