Rashod Bateman Put On IR, DeSean Jackson Elevated
2 years agoThe Baltimore Ravens placed wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday and elevated receivers DeSean Jackson and Binjimen Victor from the practice squad to the active roster in a corresponding move. Fantasy managers in single-year leagues can safely drop Bateman. The 22-year-old needs surgery to fix a Lisfranc foot injury. Jackson will make his debut with Baltimore on Monday night against the New Orleans Saints, but he's likely to play a small role as a deep downfield threat behind Devin Duvernay, Demarcus Robinson and James Proche II. The 35-year-old Jackson can still run and could eventually become a valuable deep threat for Baltimore's passing game, but he's not a realistic fantasy starting option to close out Week 9.
