Who Should I Start? Rashod Bateman or Zay Flowers

Sunday, January 12, 10:13 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman came into Saturday's Wild Card game as the number-one receiver with Zay Flowers (knee) inactive and got in on the scoring action to help beat the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his third career postseason game, Bateman finished with two catches for 24 yards and a touchdown on two targets. His 15-yard touchdown started off all of the scoring in the first quarter when Lamar Jackson found him going over the middle in the end zone. That was also Bateman's first postseason touchdown in his four-year career. He'll look to find the end zone again in the divisional round against either the Buffalo Bills or Houston Texans.

When asked about the status of wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) for the upcoming Divisional Round showdown against the Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said they are in "we'll-see" mode. "He's working hard to get back. We'll see toward the end of the week if he's practicing. He can play without practicing, for sure, if he feels healthy enough and it's safe for him," Harbaugh said. Flowers sprained his knee in the Week 18 win over the Cleveland Browns and was inactive for the wild-card playoff win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Saturday. The 24-year-old could play this weekend against Buffalo without practicing, but he'd be a much riskier lineup option for fantasy managers. With Flowers out on Saturday in the win over Pittsburgh, Rashod Bateman benefitted the most and caught a touchdown, with Tylan Wallace and Nelson Agholor also seeing the field in three-wide sets.
