Baltimore Ravens Roster

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) have been ruled out in Week 7. With Murray inactive, the Ravens will likely turn to another three-man committee approach, which will include Devonta Freeman, Le'Veon Bell, and Ty'Son Williams. With Lamar Jackson always having the possibility to lead the team in carries, no option in the Baltimore backfield has any sort of high ceiling in this game. Freeman and Bell at best offer RB3/FLEX appeal, but will likely need to score a touchdown to have a solid game of fantasy production. With Watkins out, Rashod Bateman should once again see a prominent role in the offense serving as the No. 2 wide receiver behind Marquise Brown. Still, he will likely be third in line for targets as Mark Andrews figures to command a significant target share.

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) didn't practice again on Friday and are unlikely to be available in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watkins is set to miss his second straight game. With Murray likely sidelined, the Ravens will likely split the running back touches between veterans Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell, with Ty'Son Williams serving as the No. 3. Freeman and Bell both found the end zone last week, but they will be low-ceiling RB3/flex options in deeper leagues against Cincy. First-round rookie receiver Rashod Bateman caught four of six targets for 29 yards in his season debut in Week 6 and should slowly see his role increase behind Marquise Brown, especially now that Watkins is injured.

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) both missed practice for a second straight day on Thursday. Both Murray and Watkins are highly questionable to suit up in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals. Watkins also missed the Week 6 blowout win over the Los Angeles Chargers, so he's probably more in danger of missing another game. Murray and Devonta Freeman both saw nine carries last weekend, with Le'Veon Bell seeing eight carries. All three backs found the end zone on the ground, which is obviously something that won't happen every week. If Murray were to miss the game against the Bengals, Freeman and Bell figure to split the backfield touches, with Ty'Son Williams being active as the third back. Rookie receiver Rashod Bateman made his season debut last week and could see a bigger role behind Marquise Brown if Watkins misses a second straight game.

The Baltimore Ravens opened up the practice window for tight end Nick Boyle (knee) on Wednesday, and they have 21 days to activate him from Injured Reserve. Boyle hasn't played this year after suffering a major knee injury in November of last year, and he had a clean-up procedure done on his knee this summer. He is one of the league's best blocking tight ends in the league when healthy, so his return will be a boost to Baltimore's rushing attack, but it's unlikely that he'll suit up this Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Boyle has also improved as a receiver, but he won't be fantasy relevant with Mark Andrews catching most of the passes. Boyle had a career-high 31 grabs for 321 yards and two touchdowns in his last full season in 2019.

Baltimore Ravens running back Latavius Murray (ankle) and wide receiver Sammy Watkins (thigh) were both absent from practice on Wednesday. Murray picked up the injury in the Week 6 win over the Los Angeles Chargers. Both Devonta Freeman and Le'Veon Bell would have bigger roles in the backfield if Murray can't play in Week 7 against the Cincinnati Bengals, and Ty'Son Williams would likely be active after being a healthy scratch the last two weeks. Watkins missed Sunday's game and could be in line to miss another game this weekend. The 28-year-old receiver is less attractive to fantasy managers, even when healthy, now that rookie first-rounder Rashod Bateman is in the mix at the position.
