2024 Fantasy Outlook
The good news for Bateman is that he stayed healthy for most of the 2023 season, after missing 16 games over his first two years in the league. The bad news is that averaged 2.0 catches and 22.9 yards per game, mostly working as Baltimore's third or fourth wide receiver. The Ravens apparently expect more of the 2021 first-round pick in 2024, with coach John Harbaugh referring to Bateman as a starter in February and the team then signing him to a two-year extension in April. He may be more explosive this year after last offseason was devoted to rehab from Lisfranc surgery, but target volume remains a significant issue with the Ravens sure to prioritize WR Zay Flowers and TE Mark Andrews as the top passing-game targets in an offense that always ranks near the top of the league in pass attempts. While Bateman may well take a step forward, he's unlikely to see enough volume to make noise in fantasy. Read Past Outlooks

Inks extension with Baltimore
Bateman signed a two-year contract extension with the Ravens on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Bateman was already under contract through the upcoming season in the final year of his rookie deal, and he's now on the team's books through 2026. The 24-year-old appeared in 16 of the Ravens' 17 regular-season games this past season, catching 32 of 56 targets for 367 yards and one touchdown. Despite Bateman's underwhelming production during his third NFL season, head coach John Harbaugh noted earlier in the offseason that he views the wideout as a candidate to "take a big step" forward in 2024, per Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site. The Ravens' pass-catching corps should look mostly similar in 2024 as it did in 2023, as No. 1 wideout Zay Flowers is entering his second season and standout tight end Mark Andrews is back in the fold, though Odell Beckham is currently a free agent and may not be brought back.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Projected to keep starting job
Bateman will retain a starting job to open the 2024 season, Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com opines.
ANALYSIS
The 2021 first-round pick has struggled with injuries over his first three seasons, playing in only 34 of a possible 50 regular-season games during that span. However, Rosenthal notes the fact the Ravens have been unequivocally supportive of Bateman throughout the offseason and even inked him to a two-year extension, which supports the notion he's ticketed for a starting role.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
2021
Bateman has shown flashes since going 27th overall in the 2021 NFL Draft, but he missed the first five games of his rookie year on the heels of summer abdominal surgery and then missed the final 11 weeks of 2022 with a Lisfranc injury. He started well last year before the foot became a factor, catching eight of 16 targets for 226 yards and two TDs the first three weeks, buoyed by a pair of distance scores. He's only 23, but there's suddenly a lot more target competition after the Ravens signed Odell Beckham and drafted Zay Flowers in the first round. The switch from Greg Roman to Todd Monken at offensive coordinator promises a more pass-oriented offense, at least, giving Bateman some potential for a third-year breakout if he finally stays healthy. He averaged nearly 100 yards per game his final two seasons at Minnesota and ran a 4.39 40 at the 2021 combine, so the Ravens still seem to believe in his potential -- at least to a degree -- even after a pair of disappointing seasons.
