Who Should I Start? Tyler Lockett or Rashod Bateman

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tyler Lockett (knee) was a full participant during Friday's practice session. It seems like Lockett will be good to go after he began the week with a limited session due to a knee issue. Lockett is coming off his best performance of the season where he hauled in five of his six targets for 44 yards in the loss to the Denver Broncos. That was only his second week on the team, so the assumption is his role will grow with the team. Barring any setbacks, Lockett should be viewed as a low-end flex option for the Monday night matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns. Bateman failed to practice every day this week and will now miss his first game of the season. The 25-year-old has totaled 16 catches for 194 yards and two touchdowns on 31 targets this season as the WR2 behind Zay Flowers. His absence will likely lead to more opportunities for Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews, as well as more snaps for veteran DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. It's a tough matchup for Baltimore's pass catchers at Cleveland, potentially in nasty weather, leaving Flowers and Andrews as the only viable fantasy options.
