4. Rashod Bateman, Baltimore Ravens

Rashod Bateman’s average through his first two games is 6 targets, 3.5 catches, and 54.5 yards. He’s already stepped into a pretty solidified role in the Ravens offense, and it’s a given that he’s only going up from here.

Minnesota is 17th in the league against the pass, and with a lot of the attention going towards Hollywood Brown and Mark Andrews, Bateman should have an opportunity to post solid flex numbers this week.

3. Cole Beasley, Buffalo Bills

Cole Beasley has been hot the past two games, catching 7-of-9 targets for 88 yards in one game and 10-of-13 for 110 yards in the other. He’s always been a reliable target for Josh Allen, and that hot streak should continue this week against the Jacksonville Jaguars’ 28th ranked pass defense.

Beasley is averaging seven targets a game in an elite offense. He’s a startable low-end WR2 in PPR leagues, as he’s been stealing the production from Emmanuel Sanders as of late.
