Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman was arrested in June in Georgia on domestic violence charges, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Baltimore announced Friday that it is aware of the situation, has contacted Bateman directly, and notified the league office.
The Ravens statement, first reported by Jamison Hensley, reads in part: "We are aware of the situation involving Rashod and have been in direct communication with him. We notified the league office and have been cooperating throughout the process."
What this means for fantasy
An NFL notification triggers the league's personal conduct policy review process, which can result in suspension. Until the legal situation and any potential discipline become clearer, Bateman carries real roster risk. If you are holding him in a dynasty or redraft league, watch for updates on whether the NFL places him on the commissioner's exempt list, which would make him inactive without using a roster spot on injured reserve.
Do not drop him in a panic, but do not count on him as a reliable starter while this is unresolved.
