Should You Start or Sit Bateman in Week 13?
Bateman (ankle) is said to be nearing a return to action, but he hasn’t been nearly productive enough to justify being rostered as he works through this injury.
His yards per route (0.89) and air yards per game (44.7) are easily pacing for career lows, trends I don’t see reversing any time soon. Zay Flowers looks the part of a WR1, and with a pair of viable tight ends, there’s simply not enough volume to chase for a player that has yet to really prove capable of doing so.
The Bateman role isn’t worth chasing, either. You can find week-to-week upside that far exceeds what you’re wise to expect from the fourth option in this run-oriented offense.
