From the episode

Rashad Bateman that you want...Bateman comes back in week seven. And I imagined Jacoby lane getting put back in the box...Jacoby Lane ran more routes and was targeted on more routes than Rashad Bateman.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalRole

Bateman demoted by Lane's emergence; fewer routes and targets in week 7.

Rashad Bateman's return in week seven coincided with Jacoby Lane running more routes and receiving more targets than Bateman, marking a demotion in the Ravens' passing game hierarchy. Matt Kelley expected zero targets for Lane upon Bateman's return but was pleasantly surprised by Lane's increased usage, suggesting Bateman's role is being diminished by the rookie's emergence.
