Rashod Bateman Out for Week 11 with High-Ankle Sprain, Expected to Miss Multiple Games

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Browns and is expected to miss multiple games due to a high-ankle sprain. While Bateman remained healthy for most of the 2023 season, he averaged only 2.0 catches and 22.9 yards per game. The Ravens, who signed him to a two-year extension, anticipate more from the 2021 first-round pick following Lisfranc surgery rehab, but target volume remains a concern with Zay Flowers and Mark Andrews prioritized. Bateman has a history of injuries, including abdominal surgery in his rookie year and a Lisfranc injury in 2022. His absence could lead to more snaps for DeAndre Hopkins, though Hopkins is considered a total fantasy flier.
