Rashod Bateman highlighted as fantasy start against Browns

Summary

As Week 6 approaches, fantasy football analysts recommend Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman due to favorable matchups against the Cleveland Browns. Cleveland has allowed seven receiving touchdowns to wideouts this season, making Bateman's role more significant, particularly if Lamar Jackson returns from injury. Conversely, Tampa Bay Buccaneers receiver Chris Godwin is advised to be benched, given his lower ranking among wideouts. Houston Texans' Jaylin Noel is also a recommended start against Jacksonville, while Philadelphia Eagles' Dontayvion Wicks may benefit from an under-strength Panthers defense.
