Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said WR Rashod Bateman will see the football “a lot more” in 2024.
Harbaugh said at the NFL Combine that he expected Bateman to “take a big step” in his third NFL season. In early February, Harbaugh said Bateman, 24, would be a starter in the Baltimore offense in 2024, a year after he managed a meager 32 catches on 56 targets. Harbaugh’s offseason praise of Bateman is something to file away for fantasy draft season, even if Bateman is sure to be third or fourth in the team’s pass-catching pecking order.
I would love for this to be true.
As I understand it, he was still recovering a bit and didn’t have his speed back until a ways into the season.
He’s still just 24, and profiles well. I guess time (and the draft) will tell. I’m assuming OBJ is gone, so that would leave Bateman & Flowers as the 2 primary receivers?
It’ll be interesting to see how this develops.
