Rashod Bateman placed on IR

Sep 02, 2021

According to Adam Schefter on Twitter, the Baltimore Ravens have placed promising rookie receiver Rashod Bateman on short-term I.R.

Fantasy Impact:

The Baltimore Ravens new-look receiving corps took another hit, with Rashod Bateman joining Miles Boykin on short-term injured reserve. Both players will be eligible to return as early as Week 4. There were some hopes that Bateman would earn the role of Lamar Jackson's top wide receiver target this season, but the I.R. stint may all but torpedo those plans. Bateman is still a talented receiver who is expected to have a big role down the stretch, but the missed time for the rookie will severely hamper his projected development curve. Unless your league has multiple I.R. spots, Bateman is someone to add to your watch list rather than stash at the end of your draft.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara off injury report ahead of Week 15

The Saints officially listed QB Derek Carr (left hand/concussion) as doubtful for Sunday vs. Washington. Jake Haener will make his first NFL start.

RB Alvin Kamara (illness) is off the injury report and good to go.

Related Players: Kendre Miller

Fantasy Impact:

It would have been an easy click for a Kendre Miller week if Kamara were forced to miss, but this puts the kibosh on that. Fire Kamara up as an RB2 this week in a game that may feature him even more than usual with no Carr.

Seahawks RB Kenneth Walker Doubtful for Week 15

The Seahawks list RB Kenneth Walker III (calf) as doubtful for Sunday's game.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

Looks like a clear runway for another Charbonnet week in what should be a tightly contested game against the Packers at home. Fire him up as a fringe RB1/2.
