Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Travis Hunter

Friday, November 21, 5:51 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) was unable to practice all week and has been officially ruled out for the Week 12 contest this Sunday against the visiting New York Jets. Bateman will miss his second straight game after suffering a high-ankle sprain in the Week 10 win over the Minnesota Vikings, but the team is optimistic he'll have a chance to play in next week's Thanksgiving Day game on Thursday versus the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Fantasy managers won't exactly be holding their breath for Bateman, as he's been unreliable in 2025 with just 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 32 targets after a career year in 2024. With Bateman out again this weekend, Zay Flowers, DeAndre Hopkins, and Tylan Wallace will have additional opportunities in the passing game, as will tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver/defensive back Travis Hunter (knee) unfortunately saw his rookie campaign come to an early end. Hunter was only able to play in seven games before suffering a season-ending knee injury that required surgery. There was speculation that Hunter might make the switch to one position following this injury. So far, the Jags have stated they plan to continue using Hunter as a two-way player. His injury occurred during a non-contact play during practice, so it doesn't sound like it had anything to do with the wear-and-tear of playing two positions. He finished his rookie season with 28 receptions for 298 yards and one touchdown.
