Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Tylan Wallace

Tuesday, February 27, 3:21 PM

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Rashod Bateman is going to get the ball "a lot more" next season and said that he expects the wideout to take a big step forward in 2024. Odell Beckham Jr. may not return in free agency, which would help, but most fantasy managers will likely want to see it before believing Harbaugh's words. The 24-year-old disappeared more often than not in his third NFL season in 2023, finishing with just 32 receptions for 367 yards and one touchdown on 56 targets in 16 regular-season games. A lot more would have been expected of the former first-rounder had we known he was going to stay healthy all year. Unless Zay Flowers or tight end Mark Andrews miss time with injury in 2024, Bateman will have an uphill battle to climb again for consistent fantasy value.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Tylan Wallace (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday after missing the team's first practice of the week on Tuesday. The 24-year-old is dealing with a knee injury. Although he is not a contributor on offense, he is the lead kick and punt returner as long as Devin Duvernay (back) is on Injured Reserve. Fortunately, Duvernay practiced in full on Tuesday and is on the cusp of being activated to the 53-man roster. Neither player is worth any consideration in DFS lineups, but ball security in the return game could become an issue if neither can suit up.
