2023 Fantasy Outlook
Bateman has shown flashes since going 27th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he missed the first five games of his rookie year on the heels of summer abdominal surgery and then missed the final 11 weeks of 2022 with a Lisfranc injury. He started well last year before the foot became a factor, catching eight of 16 targets for 226 yards and two TDs the first three weeks, buoyed by a pair of distance scores. He's only 23, but there's suddenly a lot more target competition after the Ravens signed Odell Beckham and drafted Zay Flowers in the first round. The switch from Greg Roman to Todd Monken at offensive coordinator promises a more pass-oriented offense, at least, giving Bateman some potential for a third-year breakout if he finally stays healthy. He averaged nearly 100 yards per game his final two seasons at Minnesota and ran a 4.39 40 at the 2021 combine, so the Ravens still seem to believe in his potential -- at least to a degree -- even after a pair of disappointing seasons.

Step forward expected in 2024
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh reiterated Tuesday that he expects Bateman to "take a big step" forward in 2024.
ANALYSIS
According to Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site, Harbaugh made similar comments earlier this month, noting that the 2021 first-round pick will be a starter in 2024 and is expected to take on more snaps. On the other hand, the Ravens have already re-signed wideout Nelson Agholor, and Harbaugh said he's also hoping to keep soon-to-be free agent Odell Beckham around. Neither Agholor nor Beckham would automatically block Bateman from a starting job, but both could be threats to his quantity of snaps and routes, just as they were in 2023. Bateman seemed to get open more often as the 2023 season unfolded, perhaps regaining some explosiveness with time after undergoing season-ending Lisfranc surgery the year prior. A breakout of sorts is certainly possible, but it probably wouldn't translate to much production in fantasy terms, given that the Ravens routinely rank near the bottom of the league in pass attempts and have wideout Zay Flowers and tight end Mark Andrews to account for a large chunk of the targets.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2022
2021
Bateman's chances for rookie-year stardom took a hit last April when he landed in Baltimore,
home of Mark Andrews, Marquise Brown and the NFL's top rushing attack. The 27th overall pick
projected as Option C in the passing game, which he eventually became, but only after missing
the first five weeks of the season to rehab from core muscle surgery. Bateman played every
game after that, and ultimately had respectable averages (3.8 catches for 42.9 yards on 5.7
targets) despite seeing less than half his passes from Lamar Jackson. The outlook for Year 2 is
much better, with Brown shipped to Arizona and both Bateman and Jackson healthy for summer
practices. Andrews and Bateman now stand as the top pass catchers, with Baltimore
presumably hoping the latter can become more of a downfield threat after seeing two-thirds of
his targets within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage last year. The 22-year-old ran a 4.39 40 last
spring, and he averaged 20.3 yards per catch during his huge sophomore year at Minnesota
(career 16.3 YPC). Now the presumed leader of one of the NFL's youngest WR groups,
Bateman doesn't lack for opportunity.
