Bateman failed to reel in either of his two targets in Sunday night's 28-24 loss to the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman missed the previous game with an ankle injury but returned to his clear WR2 role behind Zay Flowers against New England. However, Bateman's two targets were three fewer than DeAndre Hopkins, despite Bateman out-snapping Hopkins 38 to 20. After an impressive 2024 season that saw Bateman post a 45-756-9 receiving line, he's caught more than two passes in a game just once this season with a total of two touchdowns.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman is thus set to return for Sunday's matchup with New England, after missing the Week 15 win at Cincinnati. His availability leaves less playing time for fellow wideouts DeAndre Hopkins and Devontez Walker, neither of whom has done much with Bateman bothered by various injuries in the second half of the season.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman will likely be limited Wednesday, but it's encouraging to see him back on the practice field after he missed Baltimore's win over the Bengals in Week 15. He was added to the injury report as limited last Thursday then missed practice entirely Friday. Bateman's production has been disappointing in 2025, as across 11 regular-season appearances he's tallied just 18 catches for 217 yards and two scores on 36 targets.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman was added to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report after being a limited participant in Thursday's practice and then missing Friday's session before heading into the weekend listed as questionable for Sunday's contest. In his absence, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester are candidates to log increased snaps behind top wide receiver Zay Flowers.

Bateman (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Bateman is still "fighting through" a lingering ankle sprain, and that the team will make a decision about his availability on Saturday. If Bateman isn't able to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup, all of DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester will be candidates to benefit from increased snaps behind top wide receiver Zay Flowers.

Bateman (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman was added to the Ravens' Week 15 injury report after being deemed a limited participant in Thursday's practice. With the wideout not present for Friday's session, his status for Sunday's game against the Bengals is now cloudy. If he's unavailable this weekend, added WR snaps alongside Zay Flowers would be available for some combination of DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and LaJohntay Wester.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report, but he's now having his on-field reps capped. The veteran wideout also began Week 14 as a full participant before downgrading to limited action mid-week, and he was then able to suit up versus Pittsburgh without being assigned an injury designation. Barring any setbacks, Bateman should manage to gain clearance for Sunday's matchup against the Bengals in similar fashion.

Bateman caught two of three targets for 23 yards Sunday against the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman, who missed two weeks with an ankle injury, was more involved Sunday than he was in his Week 13 return, and his snap count jumped from 44 to 69. It didn't translate to a major jump in usage though, as he still drew just three targets. His one target that went incomplete was a crucial third down in the red zone that ended a drive and forced Baltimore to settle for a field goal. Bateman's production has fallen off sharply from his career year in 2024 when he had 45 catches for 756 yards and nine touchdowns. Through 11 games, Bateman has 18 catches on 36 targets for 217 yards and two touchdowns. The Ravens offense as a whole has struggled relative to 2024, in large part due to Lamar Jackson being at less than 100 percent in recent weeks.

Bateman (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's contest versus the Steelers.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman sandwiched full sessions around a limited practice Thursday due to a lingering ankle injury that sidelined him Weeks 11 and 12. In his return to action last Thursday against the Bengals, he logged a 73 percent snap share but was targeted only one time, which he couldn't corral. In 10 appearances overall this season, Bateman's 16-194-2 line on 33 targets hasn't afforded him much sway in the fantasy realm.

Bateman (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Bateman worked fully Wednesday, but a limited session a day later makes the wideout's Week 14 status worth tracking for those who roster him in deeper formats. In the 10 games Bateman has played in this season, he's caught more than two passes only once, en route to compiling a 16-194-2 line on 32 targets.
