With Ja'Kobi Lane out for at least a month due to a broken wrist and Zay Flowers dealing with a hamstring injury, Bateman is positioned to reclaim his role as the preferred boundary wide receiver in Baltimore. He played 51 snaps in Week 1, far more than anyone not named Flowers, though he saw just one target as the Ravens leaned on Derrick Henry. Devontez Walker could push for playing time when healthy, but Bateman's spot appears secure while Lane is sidelined.

Both Zay Flowers (hamstring) and Ja'Kobi Lane (broken wrist) left Sunday's Ravens win with injuries. Lane will be out at minimum a month, opening the door for Bateman to reclaim his role as the preferred boundary wide receiver in Baltimore. The 2021 first-round pick played 51 snaps—far more than anyone not named Flowers—but saw just one target as the Ravens leaned on Derrick Henry. Devontez Walker could push for playing time when healthy, but Bateman by default is in too cushy of a spot to ignore so long as Lane is out.

With Zay Flowers sustaining a hamstring injury in Week 1 and rookie Ja'Kobi Lane leaving with a wrist injury, Rashod Bateman could be the Ravens' de facto No. 1 WR when the Ravens host the Saints in Week 2. No. 1 receiver status might not mean much for a team as run-heavy as Baltimore, and Lamar Jackson has peppered his tight ends with targets throughout his career, but Bateman is likely to get a bump in snaps and targets while Flowers and Lane are out.
