Where should you draft Bateman?
Baltimore’s running backs don’t appear to be in a position to carry this offense, especially for the beginning of the season. Dobbins is coming off of an ACL tear and may not start Week 1, or be fully healthy when he finally starts. Backup Gus Edwards is on the PUP list and will be out until Week 5 at the earliest.
With Marquise Brown now in Arizona, there are 146 targets up for grabs and sizeable portion is Bateman’s to lose. Bateman is 1 of the final top WRs on a good team you can draft and at his current position, you should.
