Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Wan'Dale Robinson

Thursday, June 5, 12:03 PM

The Baltimore Ravens and wide receiver Rashod Bateman agreed to a three-year, $36.75 million contract extension on Thursday that includes $20 million guaranteed, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. It's the second straight year that Bateman and the Ravens agreed to an extension after the team gave him a two-year, $12.87 million deal that ran through 2026 last April. Baltimore is rewarding the 25-year-old former 27th overall pick again a year later after his most productive season as a pro in 2024 after he caught 45 of his 72 targets for 756 yards and nine touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (14 starts) in his fourth year in the NFL. It was a nice showing, but Bateman's fantasy ceiling remains rather low with Zay Flowers serving as the WR1 in a run-first offense. The Ravens also now have veteran DeAndre Hopkins, which means Bateman will likely be a boom/bust fantasy commodity.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson caught a game-high 10 passes for 43 yards in Sunday's loss to the Eagles. Although the wideout didn't find the end zone, he still had a quality end to the 2024-25 campaign. He'll finish the season by posting career-highs in receptions (93), yards (699), and touchdowns (three). While Robinson has a way to go before becoming a trustworthy fantasy option, his value could increase heading into next season if the Giants secure a quality quarterback moving ahead.
