Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Jameson Williams

Tuesday, November 4, 9:11 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has recorded just 15 catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns on 29 targets across eight games played in 2025. However, Bateman recorded his second touchdown reception of the season in Week 9, Baltimore's first game with quarterback Lamar Jackson under center since Week 4. Across 17 games with Jackson in 2024, Bateman recorded 45 catches for 756 yards and nine touchdowns on 72 targets. Bateman will likely remain a low-target-volume player, but Jackson's return to the lineup should unlock his big-play ability. In fantasy leagues with 14 or more teams, Bateman could be worth targeting on the waiver wire heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams had one of his better games of the 2025 season in Week 9, recording four catches for 66 yards and a touchdown on six targets in his team's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Williams has been a frustrating player for fantasy managers this season, as he has hauled in 21 catches for 355 yards and three scores on 36 targets across eight games. Still, the 24-year-old has now recorded at least six targets, 66 receiving yards, and a touchdown in two out of his last three games. The main issue for Williams remains his non-existent floor, as the other game in that three-game stretch was a zero-catch performance. Williams remains a boom/bust flex option for fantasy managers heading into a potentially favorable Week 10 matchup against the Washington Commanders.
