Bateman caught 1-of-2 targets in Week 1, but the catch was erased by a penalty. Bateman, 26, has never established himself as a reliable contributor. Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is ailing and WR Ja’Kobi Lane (wrist) is on injured reserve. Those factors, coupled with Doyle’s comments, could result in one or two plays designed for Bateman early in the Ravens’ Week 2 game against the Saints, but Bateman’s long, unproductive history suggests he is not about to handle a big-time workload. He is not a recommended FLEX starter in 12-team leagues.
