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

Sunday, December 14, 12:13 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) is officially inactive on Sunday against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals. Bateman was a mid-week addition to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report and will now sit out a crucial divisional clash this weekend. The 26-year-old had the best year of his NFL career in 2024, but he has not continued that momentum into 2025, as he's caught just 18 passes for 217 yards and two touchdowns on 35 targets through 11 games this year. His absence against a porous Bengals defense will create more opportunities for veteran DeAndre Hopkins, who won't be a terrible sleeper choice as a WR4/flex in Week 15. Bateman was limited in Thursday's practice before sitting out on Friday. It remains to be seen if he'll be ready to return in Week 16 against the New England Patriots. He is currently rostered in only 14% of Yahoo leagues.

New York Giants wide receiver Wan'Dale Robinson has seen a ton of targets coming his way as the No. 1 option in this offense. Robinson has registered double-digit targets in three of his last five games. The expectation is that Robinson will continue seeing a high volume of targets against a struggling Washington Commanders defense in Week 15. This Commanders' secondary is sitting in the bottom-five in terms of fantasy points allowed to wideouts. The high target share and plus-matchup should give Robinson a starting value in basically all fantasy formats this week.
