Sammy Watkins (hamstring) ruled out for Ravens in Week 6

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) is out for Week 6 agains the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

What It Means:

Watkins left Monday night's win early and never returned. The veteran has played well this season and emerged as a primary target for Lamar Jackson alongside Mark Andrews and Marquise Brown, but Watkins may have some new competition once he's healthy if first-round pick Rashod Bateman performs well in his expected NFL debut. Devin Duvernay and Miles Boykin could also see more playing time with Watkins unavailable.

Watkins is third on the Ravens this season with a 20.1% target rate and he is second on the team in yards per route run (2.09). The Chargers are allowing the fifth-fewest Adjusted Passing Net Expected Points per play and the second-fewest FanDuel points per game to the wide receiver position this season.
