The Baltimore Ravens will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding WR Rashod Bateman.
Is Rashod Bateman Playing in Week 11?
Bateman is not listed on the injury report this week, so barring any unexpected setbacks, he is on track to play this weekend.

Should You Start or Sit Rashod Bateman in Week 11?
Bateman scored his fourth touchdown of the season on Thursday night, but he was again held under 60 receiving yards (eight times in 10 games) and none of the underlying numbers suggest that this is a fantasy asset moving forward.
Bateman’s usage trends by season:
- 2021: 16.6% target rate, 14.4% routes in slot
- 2022: 23.3% target rate, 10.0% routes in slot
- 2023: 16.5% target rate, 9.7% routes in slot
- 2024: 16.3% target rate, 7.2% routes in slot
He’s been great when given the opportunity this season (32.7% over expectation), but we have a track record of that not being who he is (first three seasons: 7.8% under expectation), and his involvement has more room to decline than improve (Isaiah Likely’s health and Diontae Johnson’s role).
I don’t think I’ll ever have Bateman ranked as a top-35 receiver, and if he’s never going to threaten your starting lineup, why roster him?
