Austin Ekeler is one of the best receiving running backs in the NFL. However, we're focused on his rushing ability here.
The Ravens are good against the run but have been exceptional against the pass. Only the Browns and Cowboys allow fewer passing yards per game, and despite having Justin Herbert at quarterback, I think the Chargers will look to pound the rock unless the score gets out of hand.
That leads me to backing Ekeler to go over 46.5 rushing yards — a number he’s hit in each of his past three outings. I believe he'll go over this number again on Sunday Night Football.
We all know that the Ravens' main strength is their ability to run the football — both with actual running backs and quarterback Lamar Jackson.
However, Baltimore won’t need to rely on that on Sunday night. No team in the NFL allows more passing yards than the Chargers, who give up an astonishing 291.6 yards per game, over 20 yards more than the second-worst team in the league (Tampa Bay).
Beckham has smashed this total in two of his past three games and had his first 100-plus yard game of the season last week. He’s going to see a lot of action and should be able to do damage against a terrible Chargers secondary.

With Mark Andrews likely done for the season, Lamar Jackson’s passes will have to go elsewhere. Enter: Beckham.
Last week, Beckham hauled in four of seven passes and I expect him to catch four or more passes again, especially considering how bad the Chargers are at defending the pass.
Beckham has had over 3.5 targets in seven of nine games this season; although he hasn’t always caught as many as he'd like, he's received consistent targets. Expect those numbers to increase without Andrews in the picture.
If you’ve read the above, you already know how confident I am that the Ravens will focus on the pass. So, it might surprise you to see that I also think Jackson will score a touchdown.
What if I told you that nobody in the NFL has allowed more rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks than the Chargers? Los Angeles has allowed four in 10 games and now faces the best rushing quarterback in the NFL. That’s a recipe for Jackson to score a touchdown.
