Just a season removed from hauling in nine receiving touchdowns with a high-end 16.6 yards per reception and a 15.2 aDoT, Bateman has dipped to respective 12.1 and 12.9 marks with just two scores through 11 games in 2025. In turn, his receiving yards total has also dipped considerably, while his role remains steady as the No. 2 wide receiver for the Ravens. So, with the Bengals ranking 32nd in dropback success rate, 28th in PFF coverage grade and allowing the second-highest yards per target, I like Bateman to clear this total for a second consecutive week.

What a price against the Bengals, who have been the most generous defense to opposing tight ends by a wide margin. Last week, Dalton Kincaid and Jackson Hawes both scored in the snow, giving Cincinnati 14 and 15 tight end touchdowns allowed on the season. The next-closest team has allowed nine. Isaiah Likely saw three red-zone targets last week and put up 95 yards, plus what should have been a touchdown on Thanksgiving vs. the Bengals. I’m surprised this number is still north of +200, as I have the fair price closer to +170. Even Kincaid was +200 last week, coming off a lengthy injury.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 5 out of 5
The leading projections forecast the Baltimore Ravens to be the 3rd-least pass-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 50.0% pass rate, accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.. The Baltimore Ravens offense has played at the 5th-most sluggish tempo in football (adjusted for context) this year, averaging 30.08 seconds per snap.. Our trusted projections expect Lamar Jackson to throw 30.4 passes in this contest, on balance: the 3rd-fewest among all quarterbacks.. As it relates to protecting the passer (and the effect it has on all pass attack metrics), the offensive line of the Ravens grades out as the 8th-worst in football this year.. Lamar Jackson's 187.0 adjusted passing yards per game this year reflects a noteworthy regression in his passing talent over last year's 243.0 figure.

Our trusted projections expect the Bengals to be the 2nd-most pass-focused team among all teams this week with a 65.6% pass rate, based on their underlying tendencies and matchup dynamics.. At the moment, the 7th-quickest paced team in the NFL (context-neutralized) according to the projection model is the Cincinnati Bengals.. Our trusted projections expect Joe Burrow to attempt 40.3 passes in this game, on average: the 2nd-most among all QBs.. The Baltimore Ravens defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, allowing opposing teams to attempt the 4th-most passes in the NFL (38.5 per game) this year.. Opposing offenses have thrown for the 5th-most adjusted yards in the league (259.0 per game) versus the Baltimore Ravens defense this year.

EV Model Rating
Star rating: 5 out of 5
Derrick Henry has put up a monstrous 1.0 air yards per game this year: 80th percentile among running backs. (This may not seem very overwhelming, but most RBs average negative air yards given that they are usually targeted behind the line of scrimmage).. The Cincinnati Bengals defense has given up the 3rd-most adjusted receiving yards per game in the league (44.0) vs. running backs this year.. The Cincinnati Bengals pass defense has exhibited bad efficiency versus running backs this year, giving up 7.92 adjusted yards-per-target to the position: the 3rd-most in football.. As it relates to linebackers in covering receivers, Cincinnati's LB corps has been atrocious this year, profiling as the worst in the NFL.

At the moment, the 7th-quickest paced team in the NFL (context-neutralized) according to the projection model is the Cincinnati Bengals.. The Baltimore Ravens defense has been a prominent pass funnel this year, allowing opposing teams to attempt the 4th-most passes in the NFL (38.5 per game) this year.. The predictive model expects Chase Brown to total 5.1 targets this week, on average, putting him in the 95th percentile when it comes to running backs.. When it comes to air yards, Chase Brown ranks in the lofty 92nd percentile among running backs this year, accumulating a remarkable 3.0 per game. (because they are often targeted behind the line of scrimmage, that is far more noteworthy than it sounds since most RBs wind up with negative air yards).

The leading projections forecast the Baltimore Ravens to be the 3rd-least pass-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 50.0% pass rate, accounting for their underlying strategic approach and matchup dynamics.. The Baltimore Ravens offense has played at the 5th-most sluggish tempo in football (adjusted for context) this year, averaging 30.08 seconds per snap.. Mark Andrews has totaled significantly fewer air yards this year (32.0 per game) than he did last year (44.0 per game).. As it relates to protecting the passer (and the effect it has on all pass attack metrics), the offensive line of the Ravens grades out as the 8th-worst in football this year.. Mark Andrews's 26.0 adjusted yards per game on passes this season represents a meaningful decline in his receiving prowess over last season's 40.0 figure.

The Baltimore Ravens offense has played at the 5th-most sluggish tempo in football (adjusted for context) this year, averaging 30.08 seconds per snap.. Derrick Henry's 78.0 adjusted yards per game on the ground this season illustrates a noteable regression in his rushing skills over last season's 118.0 figure.. Derrick Henry's ground efficiency has declined this year, totaling a measly 4.89 adjusted yards-per-carry compared to a 6.17 rate last year.
