Outside of Andrews, Jackson has hooked up with WR Marquise Brown on a few long balls this year, and the young speedster can change the game at any moment. Lamar Jackson has fewer weapons at his disposal but finds a way to make it work. RB Austin Ekeler and WR Keenan Allen also play large roles in the LA offense and will be important to watch on Sunday. Herbert’s favorite target this year has been Mike Williams, who has been arguably the best WR in football through 5 games. Jackson touts a dual-threat approach, while Herbert has been slinging the ball over the field. Undoubtedly, both teams sport impressive quarterbacks in Justin Herbert and Baltimore’s Jackson. Los Angeles was equally as impressive, knocking off the then 3-1 Browns. Lamar Jackson and Mark Andrews were particularly impressive on Monday Night Football, leading the Ravens to a huge comeback win over the Colts. Both the Chargers and the Ravens impressed many with their victories in Week 5. This game will be one of the weekend’s best matchups. After seeing the Jaguars try to contain Derrick Henry last week, it makes me believe that Gaskin will be able to find lanes and produce and that the Dolphins will find an avenue to win and cover. Whether it’s Tua or Brissett behind center for Miami, I do believe the Dolphins’ defense is ever so slightly better than Jacksonville’s. Lawrence has been slowly improving this year and will need to lean on WRs Marvin Jones and Laviska Sheault to catch passes. Jacksonville will come in pretty healthy overall and will lean on the production of QB Trevor Lawrence and RB James Robinson to produce. Otherwise, WR DeVante Parker is Questionable with a hamstring injury. Miami will likely look to lean RB Myles Gaskin, who had a breakout performance last weekend. Currently, these two teams sport bottom-5 scoring offenses and defenses and are towards the bottom of the pack in all statistical categories, making this one of the harder NFL picks as you never know who’s going to show up. There’s a chance QB Tua Tagovailoa returns from Injured Reserve for this contest, but if he doesn’t, it’ll be Jacoby Brissett running the offense. These teams sport a combined 1-9 record, with Jacksonville remaining winless for over a calendar year. Miami and Jacksonville will face off across the pond in London to kick off the Sunday slate.
