Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is currently on pace to shatter all of his career highs for stats in a single season. He averages 18.8 yards per reception, 56.3 yards per game, and 13.1 yards per target so far. His counterpart, Zay Flowers (ankle), received a questionable designation, so he could even move up in the target order for this game. On top of that, he draws a favorable matchup as the Cleveland Browns are the fifth-easiest matchup for opposing receiver groups. They allow 31.1 fantasy points per game in half-PPR formats. All of that gives Bateman some more flex appeal when it comes to Week 8.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer made two long plays in a Week 8 win over the New Orleans Saints. Palmer was targeted four times, making two catches for 72 yards. He made one grab for 45 yards and the other for 27. While he wasn't as involved as expected, he made the most out of the two catches he was able to secure, finishing second on the team in receiving yards despite being just fourth in catches and targets. With rookie Ladd McConkey establishing himself as quarterback Justin Herbert's favorite target, Palmer is shaping up to be more of a boom-or-bust type of fantasy receiver. The Chargers offense could look different once Quentin Johnston (ankle) and D.J. Chark (groin) return to the field, but Palmer should continue to have a role.
