Zay Flowers Sidesteps Week 6 Injury Report
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is not on the injury report for Week 6. Flowers injured his hamstring in the Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts and was inactive in Week 2. A foot injury made the 26-year-old wideout questionable to play in the Sunday night game against the Atlanta Falcons, but he ended up suiting up and catching eight of his nine targets for 53 yards while adding a 13-yard carry on the ground. His hamstring and foot injuries are now in the past, so fantasy managers should have Flowers locked into their starting lineups for the Week 6 divisional contest on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns. When active, Flowers has had a high floor with WR1 upside, although fantasy managers would feel more comfortable if star quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) made a return this weekend. In his first four games of his fourth year in the NFL, Flowers has caught 26 of his 31 targets for 405 yards and two touchdowns. The former first-rounder from Boston College is still a must-start if backup QB Tyler Huntley makes a second straight start.

Zay Flowers Sees Heavy Volume Despite Limited Yardage in Week 5
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers caught eight of nine targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 30-23 overtime victory over the Atlanta Falcons, adding another 13 yards on his lone rushing attempt. Flowers led Baltimore in catches and targets despite playing with Tyler Huntley in place of Lamar Jackson (ankle), although the explosive plays that have fueled his strong start to the season were missing. His longest reception went for just 12 yards, a considerable drop from his eight-catch, 118-yard performance against Tennessee last week. Flowers also had a 26-yard reception wiped out on Baltimore's late game-tying drive when the Ravens accepted a 29-yard defensive pass-interference penalty he drew. The fourth-year receiver entered Sunday questionable with a foot injury, making his continued involvement encouraging. He has now caught 16 of 19 targets over his last two games, providing a reliable foundation for PPR production even when the yardage isn't there. Flowers remains a WR2 option heading into Week 6 against Cleveland, with Jackson's availability worth monitoring.

Zay Flowers Active for Sunday Night Football Vs. Falcons
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) is active for Sunday Night Football against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 5. Flowers was limited throughout the practice week with a foot issue and entered the weekend with a questionable designation. However, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported on Sunday morning that Flowers was expected to play against Atlanta. Flowers, who missed a Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints due to a hamstring injury, is tied with tight end Mark Andrews for the most receptions on the Ravens so far in 2026 with 18. Flowers leads the team with 352 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns. However, Flowers and the Ravens will be without starting quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) due to an ankle injury. Tyler Huntley will start at quarterback for Baltimore.

Zay Flowers Expected to Play on Sunday Night Against the Falcons
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) is expected to be active for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Flowers had been listed as questionable, but he's trending toward suiting up for Monday Night Football. With that being said, his fantasy stock is still expected to decline as he will be catching passes from backup quarterback Tyler Huntley. Flowers remains in must-start territory for fantasy purposes, but his floor with Huntley is significantly lower than his floor with Lamar Jackson (ankle). Fortunately for Flowers' fantasy managers, the Falcons have surrendered the fifth-fewest yards and the eighth-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers so far in 2026.

Zay Flowers Still a Locked-in Start Despite Missing His Quarterback
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) set a franchise record with his 11th career game with at least 100 receiving yards against the Titans in Week 4. Flowers led the team with 118 receiving yards, eight receptions, ten targets, and a touchdown, but nearly all of that production came in the first half. After Tyler Huntley took over for Lamar Jackson (ankle) in the second half, Flowers caught 2 of his 3 targets for -1 yards, and the offense struggled to sustain drives. Jackson was ruled out Friday afternoon, but things should improve in Week 5, with Huntley taking first-team reps in practice all week. According to NextGen Stats, with quarterbacks other than Jackson, Flowers has earned a higher target rate (31.3% vs 26.4% with Jackson) and catch rate (77.5% vs 69.1% with Jackson). In addition, the Falcons' defense ranks 30th against the pass, giving up 264.8 yards per game, and is the fifth-best fantasy matchup for opposing wide receivers. The Ravens are a road underdog Sunday night in Atlanta, so Flowers should keep seeing looks in all four quarters as Baltimore tries to keep pace with the Falcons. The fourth-year receiver was limited all week with a foot injury, a different ailment than the hamstring injury that kept him out for three halves between Weeks 1 and 2. Even though Flowers carries a questionable designation into the weekend, optimism suggests he should suit up Sunday night. If he is active, Flowers is a low-end WR1, but his injuries and the uncertainty around the effectiveness of a Huntley-led offense add more risk than usual.

Zay Flowers Officially Questionable for Week 5
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) was limited in practice all week and is questionable to play in Week 5 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday Night Football, according to Adam Caplan of Sirius XM NFL Radio. Flowers has already missed a game in 2026 due to a hamstring injury and is now dealing with a foot injury. It is a bit concerning that Baltimore's game is on Sunday night with Flowers up in the air to play, but he seems to be on the right side of questionable and should suit up for the Ravens. Fantasy managers will want to check back for an update on Flowers by Saturday evening. Even if Flowers gets the green light, his fantasy football value takes a hit this week with quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) already being ruled out. The 26-year-old has been strong for fantasy managers as a must-start in his three games played despite dealing with nagging injuries early on, catching 18 of his 22 targets for 352 yards and two touchdowns. If Flowers is active, which is expected, he will be a more volatile WR1 this week while backup QB Tyler Huntley runs the Ravens' offense.

Zay Flowers Remains Limited in Practice on Thursday
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (foot) was listed as a limited practice participant due to a foot injury for the second straight day on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been remarkably productive when on the field so far this season, recording 18 catches for 352 yards and two touchdowns on 22 targets across three games. However, Flowers spent much of the first four weeks battling through a hamstring injury and now appears to be dealing with a new ailment. If Flowers is unable to play in Baltimore's Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons, Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (shoulder) would likely see a significant increase in targets. However, Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) is unlikely to play against the Falcons, creating major uncertainty for the overall health of the team's passing game. Between Jackson's potential absence and Flowers' shaky health, fantasy managers may want to downgrade expectations for Flowers in Week 5.

Zay Flowers Limited Wednesday With Hamstring Injury
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) was officially limited in Wednesday's practice, even though he wasn't on the field during the portion open to reporters, according to ESPN's Jamison Hensley. Flowers said last week that he felt the hamstring issue was behind him, then went out and caught eight of 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown against Tennessee. The injury has already cost him time this season, though. Flowers aggravated the hamstring in the opener, missed Week 2, and was on a reduced snap count when he returned against Dallas. He has 18 catches for 352 yards and two touchdowns in three games. There is another concern for fantasy managers this week, with Lamar Jackson (ankle) looking unlikely to face Atlanta. Flowers caught only two passes for minus-1 yard after Jackson left Sunday's win over Tennessee. Wednesday's limited tag alone does not put Flowers' Week 5 availability in serious doubt, but his practice participation over the next two days will be worth watching.

Zay Flowers Posts Massive Performance in Win
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers looked unstoppable on the field during Sunday's contest versus the Tennessee Titans. Flowers has been dealing with a hamstring issue, but it didn't appear to impact his performance this weekend. Flowers hauled in eight of his 10 targets for 118 yards and a touchdown in the win. He led the team in receptions, targets, and receiving yards during Sunday's game. When healthy, Flowers is a stud, but his value could take a hit with quarterback Lamar Jackson (ankle) going down in the first half. Jackson was seen in a walking boot following the game, but the team hasn't given much more information yet. Flowers would see his value take a hit if Tyler Huntley is under center during next week's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.

Zay Flowers Will Suit Up in Week 4 Against the Titans
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is officially active for Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Tennessee Titans. Flowers logged a full practice on Thursday and a limited practice on Friday, and he ultimately entered this weekend listed as questionable. In the end, not only will he play, but he's also expected to operate without any sort of limitations, according to a previous report from Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. Barring a setback or new injury, this will be Flowers' first game of the season with a snap share of at least 35%. In Week 1, he exited in the first half due to a quad injury, although not before racking up 150 yards and a touchdown. He did play in Week 3, but he remained on a snap count in his first game back from injury. Now that he doesn't have any limitations, Flowers should return to his WR1 form in fantasy football, especially against a suspect Titans defense.

Zay Flowers Expected to Play in Week 4 Without Limitations
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 4 contest against the Tennessee Titans, and he won't be on a snap count, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com. The hamstring injury has sidelined Flowers for just one contest so far, but it also cut his season opener short and limited him to 33% of the snaps last week. Barring a re-aggravation or a new injury, Week 4 will be the first time that Flowers plays a complete game this season. That should be very exciting for fantasy managers, as Flowers showed a glimpse of his upside with five catches, 150 yards, and one touchdown in the first half alone back in Week 1. Without a pitch count, Flowers has the potential to feast as a fantasy WR1 against the Titans this week.

Zay Flowers Looks on Track to Play and Dominate in Week 4
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) appears to be back on track after an early-season hamstring injury that kept him out or on a snap count since the end of Week 1's first half. The team's unquestioned WR1 logged a limited practice Wednesday, a full practice Thursday, and another limited practice Friday, but the latter was for rest, according to the team's final injury report. When asked about his hamstring after Wednesday's practice, Zay responded positively, "I think we'll be all right." The Ravens will host the Tennessee Titans in Week 4, and their defense has played tough against the pass thus far. The Titans' defense is running Cover 4 at the league's highest rate (36.5%) and has yet to allow a passing touchdown using this coverage. They have also allowed the seventh-lowest passing yards per game (189), but are in the bottom ten for EPA per pass play (+0.06) and 19th overall in yards per pass play (6.4) heading into Week 4. However, despite his limited snaps this season, Flowers leads the league with 19.5 yards per target, a 46.2% target rate, 0.7 EPA per route, a 38.5% first-down rate, and a 23.1% explosive play rate, according to Next Gen Stats. The fourth-year wideout ran only 15 routes on Sunday (second on the team), but reports said he was on a snap count to manage his recovery, and the Ravens relied heavily on their ground game in Brazil. Despite these limitations, Flowers caught five of his six targets for 84 yards, had one rushing attempt for 20 yards, and was integral to the Ravens' thrilling victory. All signs point to a healthy, untethered Zay Flowers against the Titans this weekend, but managers should still monitor injury reports and temper expectations given the risk of reaggravation. However, if Flowers is active, the electric wideout profiles as a low-end WR1 and a locked-in starter across all formats

Zay Flowers Limited in Practice on Friday, Questionable to Play in Week 4
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Flowers practiced in full on Wednesday and Thursday, but he was downgraded to limited on Friday and will now carry an injury designation into the weekend. The 26-year-old injured his hamstring in Week 1 and missed Week 2 as a result. While Flowers returned for Baltimore's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys, he was on a snap count. If Flowers is active in Week 4, it seems likely that Baltimore would continue to be cautious with his workload. Flowers has been remarkably productive despite the nagging injury, recording 10 catches for 234 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets across two games. He remains a must-start wide receiver if active, but fantasy managers may want to downgrade their expectations slightly for Week 4.

Zay Flowers Practices in Full on Thursday
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) was upgraded to full practice participation on Thursday. The 26-year-old has been battling a hamstring injury since Week 1, but he was able to play through it in Week 3 and appears to be getting closer to full health ahead of Baltimore's Week 4 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Flowers' snap share has been limited by the hamstring issue so far, as he's yet to play more than 33% of the Ravens' offensive snaps in a game this season. Still, the 26-year-old has been remarkably productive in his limited opportunities, recording 10 catches for 234 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets across two games. As he moves further away from the injury, Flowers profiles as a must-start WR1 option for fantasy managers in Week 4.

Zay Flowers Limited in Wednesday's Practice
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, according to Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun. Flowers suffered a hamstring injury in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts, but not before catching five of his six targets for a career-high 150 receiving yards and his first touchdown of the season. The 26-year-old then missed the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints before returning to Sunday's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He played only 33% of the offensive snaps in his return with the Ravens easing him back in, but he still managed five catches on six targets for 84 yards against Dallas. The Ravens are expected to give Flowers his normal workload in Week 4 against the visiting Tennessee Titans, so the speedy and shifty WR1 for Baltimore should be locked into starting fantasy lineups in all formats as he looks to put early-season injuries behind him.

Zay Flowers to Have More of a Full Workload in Week 4
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) returned from a hamstring injury in Sunday's Week 3 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but was on a snap count and played only 33% of the offensive snaps after missing the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. The team's top wideout still managed to lead the team with five catches for 84 yards despite a lighter workload, including his 27-yard catch late in the game that set up the game-winning 56-yard field goal. Flowers also added a 20-yard run in the game. "I really want to shout out [Head Certified Athletic Trainer] Adrian Dixon, as well, for just working through that and helping the process of him being ready to play," head coach Jesse Minter said. "I think, now, he is coming out of this thing really ready to push to be back in there closer to full time." If Flowers does not have a setback in practice this week, he will be a no-brainer, must-start WR1 this weekend against the 0-3 Tennessee Titans with a regular workload. Before injuring his hamstring in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts, Flowers had a career-high 150 receiving yards and his first touchdown of 2026.

Zay Flowers Active Against Cowboys
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Flowers missed Week 2 and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday before getting in a limited session Friday. The bigger question now is how much Baltimore will actually use him. Ian Rapoport reported earlier Sunday that Flowers could be limited to somewhere around 20 to 30 snaps. He only played 20 snaps before leaving the season opener, but still caught five of six targets for 150 yards and a touchdown. That kind of production shows the upside is still there even on a smaller workload. The hamstring and expected snap count add plenty of risk, though, so fantasy managers starting Flowers are doing so without any guarantee that he sees his usual role.

Zay Flowers Could Be Limited to 20-30 Snaps if Active
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) could be on a pretty tight snap count if he plays Sunday against Dallas. NFL Network reports Flowers may be limited to around 20 to 30 snaps, which would obviously be well below his normal workload. He missed last week's game against New Orleans and only got back on the practice field Friday in a limited fashion after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. The interesting part here is what Flowers already did on a small number of snaps in Week 1. He caught five of six targets for 150 yards and a touchdown while playing just 20 offensive snaps before leaving with the hamstring issue. Rashod Bateman handled more work with Flowers out last week and turned nine targets into seven catches, 88 yards, and a score. Flowers would still carry plenty of upside if Baltimore clears him, but fantasy managers would also be taking on some obvious risk if the Ravens stick close to that reported 20-to-30-snap range.

Zay Flowers Looking Good in Pre-Game Warmups
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is out on the field in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, putting his hamstring to the test to see if he can play in Week 3 on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Flowers is said to be looking good on the field as the Ravens mull their decision, but nothing is official as to whether he will be active. After doing his final sprint before walking off the field, Flowers gave a thumbs-up to the trainers, and the trainers cheered. It is looking good for Flowers' availability in Week 3, but fantasy managers will want to double-check Baltimore's inactives in a few hours just to make sure. The 26-year-old caught five of his six targets for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts before suffering a hamstring injury that kept him from playing in the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. If Flowers is officially active on Sunday, fantasy managers need to lock him into their starting lineups as quarterback Lamar Jackson's go-to option in the passing game.

Zay Flowers a Game-Time Decision for Week 3 at Dallas
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is a game-time decision for Week 3 and will participate in a pregame workout to determine if he's able to play, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Schefter noted that "the team doesn't sound as if it is counting on him playing." Flowers has been sidelined ever since injuring his hamstring during the middle of an explosive Week 1 performance in which he caught five passes for 150 yards and one touchdown. Rashod Bateman stepped in as Lamar Jackson's No. 1 receiver last week, and it sounds like there's a very real chance he might have an expanded role again in Week 3. If Flowers does manage to suit up, there's a chance his role could be limited, but he'd still be worth starting as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside.
