I. Player News & Analysis

Trends


"Bateman is entering his fifth season (all with Baltimore) following a big leap forward in 2024. Bateman appeared in all 17 regular season games for the first time and, though his 15.4% target share was the second lowest of his career, he posted career-best marks in yardage, touchdowns and fantasy points. Targets remained inconsistent, however, and led to extremely boom/bust production (eight single-digit fantasy point games and a 47th-place finish in PPG, the latter of which is a career best). The 25-year-old is a capable situational deep threat (he's ranked top 12 in aDOT two years in a row), but he's a good bet for touchdown regression to the mean (4.6 expected TDs last season) and his usage is too volatile to allow weekly flex consideration."


"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."

Rashod Bateman's receiving yards have decreased by 61.02% over the past 6 weeks.

Rashod Bateman's target share has decreased by 29.92% over the past 6 weeks.

Rashod Bateman's receptions have decreased by 62.5% over the past 12 weeks.

Rashod Bateman's targets have decreased by 43.75% over the past 14 weeks.

Rashod Bateman's receiving touchdowns have decreased by 75.0+% over the past 14 weeks.

Draft: RD 3, PICK 79
Injury Status: H



I. Player News & Analysis


ESPN

RotoWire

Trends


"A third-round pick in 2023, Downs has emerged as a quality short-range/slot target, but that has yet to allow consistent fantasy output. The Colts' QB play has been an issue, as in seven full games with Anthony Richardson, Downs averaged 5.9 targets and 10.7 fantasy points per game, but in seven outings with Joe Flacco, he averaged 9.4 targets and 15.5 PPG. Downs, same as other Colts receivers, has struggled to produce with Richardson under center and it's no sure bet he'll be better if Daniel Jones wins the job. Downs is a good player, so he's worth late-round consideration, but the team's QB uncertainty will make him tough to plug into your lineup."


"Downs was able to secure multiple passes for the seventh straight game, while his 61 receiving yards were his second-highest total over that stretch. The wide receiver has now completed his third campaign in Indianapolis having caught 58 of 88 targets for 566 yards and four touchdowns while adding one carry for three yards and 68 yards on punt returns over 16 regular-season contests. Downs will enter the offseason on the final year of his rookie contract."

Josh Downs' receiving yards have increased by 45.45% over the past 6 weeks.

Josh Downs' target share has increased by 22.54% over the past 10 weeks.

Josh Downs' receiving touchdowns have decreased by 66.67% over the past 10 weeks.

Josh Downs' receptions have decreased by 42.42% over the past 14 weeks.
