Rashod Bateman Droppable in Many Dynasty Leagues

Monday, May 4, 8:07 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman has been consistently underwhelming throughout his NFL career, and he can be dropped in many dynasty fantasy football leagues. Although he's a former first-round pick, Bateman has never finished higher than WR40 in PPR leagues. He has finished lower than WR65 in four of his five pro seasons. Most recently, in 2025, Bateman was held to just 19 catches, 224 yards, and two touchdowns. While the Ravens do want to throw the ball more, Lamar Jackson is expected to target plenty of other receivers, such as Zay Flowers, Mark Andrews, and even rookie Ja'Kobi Lane. Due to his lack of productivity over the years, Bateman has fallen down the pecking order and seems to have lost the trust of his quarterback. Furthermore, he could be fighting for a roster spot since the Ravens have a new head coach (Jesse Minter) and offensive coordinator (Declan Doyle). He can be dropped in most dynasty leagues.

Jameson Williams Needs to Show More Consistency in Clearly Defined Role

Monday, May 4, 7:30 AM

Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams is coming off a WR12 finish in fantasy football, but consistency has been an issue for the former first-round pick. Williams had seven games with fewer than 7.0 fantasy points in PPR leagues last year, including a pair of zero-point finishes. His consistency (or lack thereof) is preventing him from being a plug-and-play low-end WR1 on a weekly basis. Williams' role is clearly defined, as the Lions use him to stretch the field while giving Amon-Ra St. Brown some of the safer targets. That explains why he's been more boom-or-bust, but it shouldn't necessarily prohibit him from producing more consistently. Fantasy managers will look for Williams to be more dependable in 2026 and beyond. One possible solution for dynasty managers is trading Williams now, because the WR12 finish from last year masks how up-and-down his season actually was.
