Marcell Ateman
Player News
Ateman caught three of seven targets for 46 yards in the Raiders' Week 17 loss to the Broncos, finishing his 2019 campaign with five receptions on 10 targets for 116 yards in 11 games.
Ateman's role in the Raiders' aerial attack was severely limited throughout his second year in the league until finally logging a season-high 52 offensive snaps and seven targets in Week 17. He'll look to compete for a roster spot again in 2020 alongside fellow reserves Rico Gafford and Keelan Doss behind current starters Tyrell Williams (foot), Hunter Renfrow and Zay Jones.
Ateman (ribs) is active for Sunday's Week 15 tilt against the Jaguars.
Ateman will overcome his questionable designation to suit up Sunday but he still has an uphill battle to fantasy relevance. Even with fellow wideout Hunter Renfrow (ribs) out of action, Ateman remains no better than No. 5 in the receiver pecking order.
Ateman is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars with a rib injury, Paul Gutierrez of ESPN.com reports.
Ateman was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant and his status for Sunday remains in doubt. The 25-year-old hasn't played double-digit snaps over the past six games, so his availability is unlikely to significantly impact Oakland's offensive gameplan.
Ateman caught his lone target for a 34-yard gain in Sunday's 31-24 win over Detroit.
Ateman played just four snaps but made his one touch count, hauling in a deep ball over the middle to set up the Raiders inside the 10 for an eventual touchdown. The 25-year-old has appeared in just three games and made just two catches this year, but they've both been for gains of more than 30 yards. He'll still be buried on the depth chart as the Raiders host the Chargers in Week 10.
