NFL PrizePicks: Ravens vs. Chargers Player Predictions for Sunday Night Football
The Ravens vs. Chargers matchup for Sunday Night Football should be a high-scoring affair. The Ravens are without their top pass-catcher Mark Andrews, opening up some great NFL PrizePicks predictions against a Chargers team that is one of the worst defenses in football. Baltimore should have no problem scoring points and putting up yards tonight; it’s just about deciphering which player in their spread-out offense will capitalize.

PrizePicks Plays: Ravens vs. Chargers
- Keenan Allen + Isaiah Likely – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns (Combo)
- Jalen Guyton – More Than 28.5 Receiving Yards
- Austin Ekeler – More Than 4 Receptions
Keenan Allen + Isaiah Likely – 0.5 Touchdowns (Combo)
Without Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely becomes the primary tight end for the Ravens and a great red zone threat for Lamar Jackson. He currently projects for 0.52 touchdowns tonight in the RotoGrinders projections and should be involved in the passing game regardless of the game script. The Ravens should have no problem pushing the ball down the field tonight, and Likely will only be more involved in the red zone and play action game. The added benefit of this NFL PrizePicks prediction is that we get Likely paired with a great player such as Keenan Allen. He projects for 0.47 TDs in the RotoGrinders projections and there’s a good chance the game script will be in his favor.
Play: Allen + Likely – More Than 0.5 Touchdowns (Combo)
Jalen Guyton – More Than 28.5 Receiving Yards
I’m expecting the Chargers to be playing from behind tonight and Jalen Guyton should be a big part of Herbert’s passing game without Joshua Palmer or Mike Williams. Guyton missed last week with an injury, but was heavily utilized (by his standards) the week prior, and that should be the case again tonight. Quentin Johnston hasn’t been what the team has hoped, and there’s a realistic chance Guyton could come in behind Allen with the second-most targets among Chargers receivers. Additionally, Guyton is a very strong deep ball threat, allowing him to potentially eclipse his PrizePicks number with a single reception. He is expected to have nearly 37 receiving yards in the RotoGrinders projections and makes for a great NFL DFS Pick’em play tonight.
Play: Guyton – More Than 28.5 Receiving Yards
Austin Ekeler – 4 Receptions
Our final DFS Pick’em selection pairs well with the game script we’ve selected, as Ekeler will absolutely get peppered with targets if this team has to come from behind. I can’t imagine a scenario where the Chargers are able to slow down Lamar Jackson and the Ravens, so Ekeler’s receptions total is the perfect place for NFL PrizePicks predictions. He’s only projected for just over 4 receptions in the RotoGrinders projections; however, if this game turns out to heavily favor the Ravens, he’ll be far more involved.
