Injuries

MASH Unit: QB Lamar Jackson (hamstring) - uncertain Week 6. DT Madubuike OUT for season. Also OUT: Ricard, Roquan Smith, Awuzie, Humphrey, Jones. Multiple questionable.

Betting Intel

Betting Disaster: Were -3.5 favorites, lost by 34. Market turned completely. Week 6: Ravens +8.5 vs Rams. Public: 81% bets on Rams, 87% money.

Fantasy Deep Dive

Fantasy Wasteland: If Lamar sits, all Ravens unplayable. If plays injured, low-end QB2. Derrick Henry tied entirely to Lamar health. FADE unless clarity.

Week 5 Forecast:

Forecast: Rams should crush but 8.5 is big number. Ravens score 17-20 even without Lamar. Rams win 34-20 = Ravens cover.

BEST BET: Ravens +8.5 | OVER 45.5 if Lamar plays, UNDER if out
