Turnovers and Mark Andrews' drop end another promising season for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens

Impressive effort in playoff loss Bateman secured four of five targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 27-25 divisional-round loss to the Bills on Sunday.
Impact Bateman operated as the No. 1 receiver for the second time in as many playoff games due to Zay Flowers (knee) remaining sidelined. He kicked off the scoring on the evening with a 16-yard touchdown grab to cap off the game's opening possession, and he would follow it up with a 42-yard catch with just over six minutes remaining in the first half that brought the ball down to the Bills' two-yard line. Bateman ultimately finished tied for second in both receptions and targets with Isaiah Likely while also checking in as the runner-up in receiving yards behind his teammate. Bateman appeared to exit the game for good with an undisclosed injury after making a three-yard catch with 2:47 remaining and remaining down for a short time thereafter, an anticlimactic ending to a playoff run that followed a regular season where he produced career highs in receiving yards (756) and touchdowns (nine) on the second-highest catch total of his career (45) across 17 games. Bateman is signed through the 2026 season.

Early TD sparks offense Bateman brought in both of his targets for 24 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 28-14 playoff win over the Steelers.
Impact Bateman got the scoring started for the Ravens when he brought in a 15-yard pass from Lamar Jackson to cap off a successful first drive on offense. The 25-year-old Bateman was used sparingly over the remainder of the contest despite operating as the team's No. 1 wideout sans Zay Flowers (knee). With the Ravens advancing to the divisional round, Flowers could potentially return against either the Bills or Chiefs. In that scenario, Bateman's elevated fantasy value from the wild-card round would return to marginal levels as opposed to carrying over to next weekend's matchup.

Impact Bateman stepped up admirably after Flowers' departure Week 18 against the Browns in Week 18, a 35-10 victory in which he secured five of eight targets for 76 yards and a score. Tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely will also be available to help make up for Flowers' absence in the receiving game, but Bateman figures to have no shortage of opportunities to produce on a playoff stage Saturday. The 2021 first-round pick is coming off the best regular-season of his career, having compiled a 45-756-9 receiving line in 17 appearances.

Flowers' injury a concern for the Ravens after their AFC North-clinching victory over Cleveland
Baltimore’s division-clinching victory over Cleveland was about as routine as expectedJANUARY 5 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Leading receiver in comfortable win Bateman corralled five of eight targets for 76 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 35-10 victory over the Browns.
Impact Bateman suffered slight injury scare after taking a hard hit over the middle of the field in the first half of Saturday's win. The 26-year-old was checked for a head injury and promptly returned to the contest. Bateman wound up tying his season high in targets (eight) after Zay Flowers (knee) left the game in the second quarter. If the latter is forced to miss Baltimore's first playoff game, Bateman could be in line for an increased role in next weekend's contest against either the Chargers or the Steelers. The Minnesota product finishes the regular season with a 45-756-9 line in 17 games.

Minimal usage in blowout Bateman secured his lone target for a 12-yard gain in the Ravens' Christmas Day win over the Texans.
Impact The Ravens built an insurmountable lead on the Texans, resulting in the starters taking a breather for much of the fourth quarter. This explains Bateman's 27 snaps, which marked a season-low. Lamar Jackson himself had just 15 pass attempts and 10 completions, so there simply weren't many opportunities available for any Ravens pass-catcher. Bateman and the Ravens return home to face the Browns in Week 18 with a chance to clinch the AFC North.

Notches eighth touchdown Bateman caught one of three targets for 14 yards and a touchdown Saturday against the Steelers.
Impact Though listed on the injury report with a foot injury going into the game, Bateman was able to play a healthy 81 percent of the snaps. He also notched his eighth touchdown of the season, adding to his career year. His eight touchdowns tie him for ninth in the league. Bateman and the Ravens have a quick turnaround as they will face the Texans in Houston on Christmas Day.
