Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Jahan Dotson

Saturday, December 13, 3:35 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) faces the 31st-ranked pass defense of the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 15 divisional matchup that features the second-highest over/under of the week. While there may be some temptation to find as many pieces as possible from this game, Bateman carries a questionable tag into Sunday after logging a limited practice on Thursday and missing Friday's session entirely. Even without questions concerning his ankle, the Bengals have been most susceptible to tight ends, suggesting that Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely are the most likely benefactors of the plus matchup, while Bateman has finished outside the top 35 wide receivers in all but one game this season. Bateman is RotoBaller's WR74 for the week and should not be in consideration for the fantasy playoffs.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Jahan Dotson has been an inconsistent contributor in fantasy football this season, and he remains off the fantasy radar in most leagues ahead of Week 12 against the Dallas Cowboys. Dotson turned in a solid two-catch, 43-yard showing last week, but he also has zero catches in two of his last four games. Dotson's floor remains quite low given his role in the Eagles' offense. As the No. 3 receiver in an offense that likes to run the ball, Dotson should only expect a couple of targets per game (at most), and most of them will be contested throws deeper downfield. Plus, his snap share has taken a step backward, as he played fewer than one-third of the snaps in each of his last two games. He is a boom-or-bust receiver who ranks outside the top 100 receivers in fantasy points this season. Even against a susceptible Dallas defense, Dotson is not a safe receiver to rely upon.
