He upped his route rate to 75 percent on Sunday and his target total held steady at five. Lane ran more routes and earned more opportunities than Rashod Bateman. It was his third NFL game. We're witnessing a changing of the guard in Baltimore.

Lane outpacing Bateman in routes, targets; breakout coming with Jackson

Lane returned from a fractured wrist and has increased his route rate from 58% (Week 6) to 75% (Week 7) while maintaining five targets both weeks. He ran more routes and earned more opportunities than Rashod Bateman in Week 7, his third NFL game. The source describes this as 'witnessing a changing of the guard in Baltimore' and projects a breakout performance if Lane can distance himself from Bateman while Lamar Jackson returns.
