Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Kadarius Toney

Sunday, September 24, 5:34 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (hamstring) had just one catch (three targets) for six yards during the narrow loss to Indianapolis on Sunday. The 23-year-old has struggled in 2023-24, amassing six grabs for 53 yards. But he tweaked his hamstring versus the Colts, which may explain his lack of production. At this point, there's a chance Bateman won't be available for the AFC showdown against the Browns in Week 4. If that's the case, Nelson Agholor and Isaiah Likely could see more looks from Lamar Jackson. However, neither man should produce enough to be relevant in any fantasy format.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Kadarius Toney (toe) went backward for one yard on his only catch in Week 3's 41-10 thumping of the Chicago Bears. The 24-year-old was questionable with a toe issue entering play, but his presence was barely noticeable, anyway. After his uneventful first-quarter play, Toney was not turned to again on a day the Chiefs marched up and down the field for five touchdowns. The former first-rounder's talent remains fleeting, and second-round rookie Rashee Rice could start eating into his opportunity before long after catching five balls for 59 yards on Sunday. Toney appears to be at risk of being phased out of the offense, but it's still too early to cast that judgment. Still, he has devolved into a luxury bench stash at best, but we probably wouldn't blame you for hitting the drop button on a hot waiver pickup like Tank Dell or Adam Thielen.
