Rashod Bateman struggles in Week 2 with one target from 27 routes
Summary

Rashod Bateman had a disappointing performance in Week 2, running 27 routes but receiving only one unconverted target. Despite a favorable matchup against the Colts, he ranks 65th among wide receivers in the latest PFN rankings. Bateman's lack of production continues a trend, as this marks his seventh consecutive game with fewer than 25 receiving yards. The absence of Zay Flowers due to a hamstring issue may offer Bateman a chance for more offensive involvement, though options may still be limited. Weekly reports indicate he may face further scrutiny if he cannot contribute effectively this week.
