Rashod Bateman Could Have Increased Role vs. Cowboys

Sunday, September 27, 9:55 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman could be in for an increased role in a Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Baltimore's No. 1 wide receiver, Zay Flowers (hamstring), is questionable due to a hamstring injury and is considered to be a true game-time decision. Flowers did not play in Week 2. If Flowers does play, he could be on a pitch count. If Flowers is out or limited, this would open up more opportunities for Bateman in the passing game. Bateman currently ranks second on the Ravens in targets (10), behind tight end Mark Andrews (13), and second on the team in receptions (seven), behind Andrews (10). In total through two games, Bateman has totaled seven receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. The Cowboys are currently allowing 218 passing yards per game. Bateman is RotoBaller's No. 28 wideout for Week 3 and is projected to score 8.1 fantasy points. He is worth putting in your lineup for Week 3.

Kayshon Boutte News

Kayshon Boutte Remains Only a Deep-League Flier in Week 3

Saturday, September 26, 3:21 AM

Houston Texans Wide Receiver Kayshon Boutte will get another chance to step up for his new team with Nico Collins (hamstring) set to miss a second straight game. Boutte caught three of five targets for 37 yards, tying Xavier Hutchinson for the highest receptions and receiving yards of the wide receivers against the Bengals. He gets a favorable matchup against the Colts, who have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to wide receivers, but he remains a high-risk play in most formats since he is big-play reliant and is still adjusting to Houston's offense and playbook. In RotoBaller's Week 3 rankings, Boutte is the WR54, indicating he's best left on your bench or waiver wire unless you're desperate or in a very deep league.
