Ravens' Sammy Watkins (hamstring) DNP on Wednesday

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Sammy Watkins (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday ahead of Week 7's game against the Cincinnati Bengals.

What It Means:

Watkins sat out Week 6's win over the Los Angeles Chargers with a hamstring injury and will open the week with a missed practice. His absence coincided with rookie Rashod Bateman's NFL debut. Bateman caught 4 of 6 targets for 29 yards and could remain in a similar role if Watkins is forced to miss another game.

Bateman's Week 7 projection, assuming Watkins is active, includes 3.4 receptions, 41.2 yards. 0.30 touchdowns, and $5,300.
