Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Tetairoa McMillan

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) was a full participant in practice on Tuesday. However, the team's official injury report lists Bateman as a limited participant for the second straight day. The 25-year-old has missed his team's last two games due to an ankle injury and does not appear certain to make his return for Baltimore's Week 13 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals on Thanksgiving night. Across nine games this season, Bateman has recorded 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets. If he remains sidelined on Thursday, veteran Ravens wideout DeAndre Hopkins would be the most likely beneficiary from a playing time perspective. Regardless of whether Bateman is active or not, Baltimore WR1 Zay Flowers remains the only Ravens wide receiver who should be on fantasy radars in Week 13.

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan caught just two of seven targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 20-9 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. McMillan and quarterback Bryce Young struggled to connect in this game, with the two often on the wrong page or Young delivering an inaccurate ball. The rookie wideout isn't without blame, however, as he had a bad drop on a third down in the first half. McMillan was at least able to connect with Young on a beautiful 29-yard touchdown late in the third quarter to at least salvage a decent fantasy day for managers. It was still a disappointing result for the Panthers' passing attack after a great performance last week against the Atlanta Falcons, when McMillan went for 130 yards and two touchdowns. McMillan still projects favorably as the Panthers' clear No. 1 target for their Week 13 matchup against the NFC-leading Los Angeles Rams.
