The Baltimore Ravens (1-4) will host the Los Angeles Rams (3-2) in Week 6. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Rashod Bateman.

Should You Start or Sit Rashod Bateman in Week 6?
Rashod Bateman was shut out during the Cooper Rush experience, and that wouldn’t terrify me if it was a one-off, but it was the fourth time in five games this season in which he’s been held under 25 receiving yards.
In a shootout with the Lions in Week 3, Baltimore’s secondary WR was productive (5-63-1), but that’s very much the outlier and not the norm. The former first-round pick is five years into his career and hasn’t proven himself as a target earner in any capacity.
Bateman should be on your waiver wire, regardless of who is taking snaps for Baltimore.
