Rashod Bateman fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks for Week 10 (2024). Should you start or sit Rashod Bateman for fantasy football lineups?
BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: At no point this season has Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman been a fantasy relevant player. He's had a few big games, but they've been entirely unpredictable and come off the backs of big plays. He doesn't earn enough targets to be a safe starter in any week.

Also, the Ravens traded for Carolina Panthers wide receiver Diontae Johnson because they needed help at the position. If Bateman was a good receiver, this trade might not happen. But they don't have enough firepower at WR to beat a team like the Kansas City Chiefs, and without DJ, they'd likely lose to the defending Super Bowl Champions in the playoffs again.
The offense should gradually lean toward targeting the former Panther more, as well as airing out plenty of passes for second-year pro Zay Flowers, and Bateman is likely the first in line to lose targets. There isn't much reason for the team to feed him the ball more, given his performance throughout his career.

Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking.

He played 91 percent […]

BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason.
