The biggest question marks from a player props standpoint for the Baltimore Ravens vs. Los Angeles Chargers game are which Ravens pass catcher will step up in Mark Andrews’ absence and how the Chargers will perform against an elite defense. We give you all the answers you’re looking for with our top Ravens vs. Chargers player prop bets to target.
Top Ravens vs. Chargers Player Prop Bets To Target
Lamar Jackson Under 1.5 Touchdown Passes (-115 at DraftKings)
Blewis:Â This will be the Ravens’ first full game without Mark Andrew this season, which will be a major loss, especially in the red zone. For the season, Mark Andrews is seventh in the NFL in red-zone target rate, and he has caught 60% of Lamar’s red-zone touchdown passes.
Lamar’s passing touchdowns will more likely have to come through big passing plays, and even against this Chargers defense, that doesn’t make me nervous about losing this bet.
Zay Flowers Anytime Touchdown (+185 at DraftKings)
Katz: Jackson will have to find a new top target with Andrews out. There are those out there who believe Isaiah Likely will step up. I am not one of those people. Instead, I think Jackson will lean more on Zay Flowers.
The Ravens have been scoring an inordinate amount of their touchdowns on the ground, specifically with Gus Edwards. Eventually, regression has to hit. At +185, I like the odds of Flowers finding the end zone for just the second time all season against the Chargers.
Justin Herbert Under 23.5 Completions (-101 at Caesars)
Katz: This is quite the lofty number for a quarterback who has struggled against every good pass defense he’s faced. In 10 games, Justin Herbert has completed at least 24 passes just four times. Based on that fact alone, these odds should be closer to -120, giving us good value. Add in the fact that the Ravens are elite against the pass, and I really like Herbert to struggle Sunday night.

Week 2 against the Titans is the only game in which the Chargers scored 24 points or fewer when Herbert went over 23.5 completions. The Chargers’ implied team total in this game is 22.5 points.
The Ravens allow just 201 passing yards per game, the sixth-fewest in the league. Opponents complete just 60% of their passes against them, the fourth-fewest in the league. Bank on Herbert finishing with around 20-21 completions in a close game tonight.
Austin Ekeler Under 48.5 Rushing Yards (-120 at DraftKings)
Blewis:Â For a running back as talented as Austin Ekeler, this line might appear to be really low, but he has actually only gone over this number twice in six games since returning from injury. One of them was in a game in which he had 19 carries, and the other was against a Packers run defense that is allowing the fourth-most yards per game.
Ekeler’s rushing efficiency is down this season compared to years past, as his yards before contact on average is his lowest since 2019, and his yards after contact per carry is currently a career low.
If there’s one weakness of this Ravens defense, it’s their ability to stop the run, but I think game script will be in our favor here, and this is a Chargers team that is top 10 in pass rate over expectation.
