Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers reeled in 5-of-8 targets for 100 yards in Week 16's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He added three yards on his lone carry. The 24-year-old was quiet for most of the contest but salvaged his day late with a field-flipping 49-yard grab. It was the first time that Flowers had reached the century mark since way back in Week 9, and just the third time in that stretch he's recorded at least five receptions. Despite the boom-bust nature of his game, the second-year wideout is far and away quarterback Lamar Jackson's No. 1 target and a dynamic player when in space with the ball in his hands. The former first-round pick will get a favorable matchup in Week 17 against a Houston Texans defense that's allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers through 15 weeks (36.0).

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has posted some disappointing fantasy outings over his last few games. In half-PPR formats, he hasn't scored more than nine points in any of his last three matchups. He did, however, finish as a WR2 in their last game against the Pittsburgh Steelers when he found the end zone despite catching only two throws. With Rashod Bateman (foot) and Nelson Agholor (concussion) listed as questionable, there's a chance that Flowers could be the only normal starter in the receiving corps. His volume of targets should remain high which brings his ceiling to a high-end WR2.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers saw a team-high seven targets during their victory over the New York Giants. He was able to bring in six of them (also a team-high) but finished with the third-most receiving yards (53) behind Rashod Bateman and Justice Hill. While Flowers did not find the end zone this afternoon, the sophomore wideout still turned in a solid fantasy output. Flowers has now seen at least seven targets in each of his past three contests. However, this was his first time tallying six receptions since Week 8. Given his role in the Baltimore passing attack, Flowers should continue to be viewed as a high-floor WR2 with a high target share. However, he has only eclipsed 20.0 PPR points three times this season. He has a tougher task ahead of him next weekend, facing the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Dec 15, 2024 5:34 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is usually one of the safer options at the position since he commands the largest target share on the team by a wide margin. He's seen 94 targets this year while the second-most has 55. Against the New York Giants, Flowers should still see plenty of targets, but the Ravens could go run-heavy since that's the weakest part of the defense. They allow the sixth-fewest passing yards per game and have only given up 14 touchdowns through the air all season. While Flowers usually has a solid floor, his ceiling looks to be around the WR2 territory again.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers ended up leading the team in receiving yards but still didn't find the end zone against the Philadelphia Eagles. He registered 74 yards on three receptions and seven targets while getting one carry which went backwards for three yards. Flowers' biggest play of the day was a 40-yard catch-and-run on their first drive of the game which later set up a Justin Tucker field goal. After that, Flowers only had two catches for 34 yards the rest of the way. The Ravens head into their bye week before taking on the New York Giants in Week 15.
Dec 1, 2024 10:37 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers may not have found the end zone in Week 12, but his priority in the offense allowed him to be the leader in targets and yards. Flowers averages 7.3 targets per game this season, equating to a 24.9% target share and 65.8 yards per contest. Based on alignment, Flowers' matchup would have been Darius Slay (concussion), but if the Eagles don't shift Quinyon Mitchell over, it would be Isaiah Rodgers. That means Flowers would likely see a heavy dose of targets, leaving his floor at a WR2 this week.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers wasn't able to find the end zone against the Chargers on Monday night but led the team in receiving yards. He notched 62 yards on five receptions and eight targets which was tied for most catches and number one in targets. In half-PPR formats, this put him right outside of WR2 territory, making it a disappointing week in fantasy terms. His next chance to bounce back will be against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 13.
Nov 26, 2024 11:36 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers continues to possess the highest ceiling of the team's wideouts. He's averaging 7.2 targets, 4.7 receptions, and 66.1 yards per game this season and sits at the WR8 in half-PPR formats. In Week 12, he'll take on the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday night. The Chargers are right in the middle of the pack against opposing receiver groups, so Flowers should be able to find some operating space. The speedy wideout hovers around a high-end WR2 for this matchup with the ceiling of a WR1.
Nov 23, 2024 9:12 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers salvaged his week with a late touchdown during the 18-16 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He ended the game with two receptions for 39 yards and a touchdown on six targets. The Steelers' pass rushers did a good job at making Lamar Jackson uncomfortable and they consistently had Flowers blanketed no matter where he went. On the plays where Jackson scrambles looking for an outlet, Flowers usually finds a way to get to the ball, but he was double-covered in some of those situations as well. He'll go up against another tough pass defense in the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 12.
Nov 17, 2024 5:42 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is looking to bounce back after a disappointing outing but will have a tough matchup to do so. The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of the tougher defenses against opposing quarterbacks and passing offenses. They're 23rd in fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers in half-PPR formats. Flowers will likely matchup with Beanie Bishop Jr. who has allowed the most receiving touchdowns out of the Steelers' corners, but only allows an average depth of target of 6.8 yards. The speedy wideout carries WR2 value going into this matchup.
Nov 16, 2024 2:49 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers received plenty of attention from the Cincinnati Bengals' defense on Thursday night. Flowers received the third-most targets with six of them and finished with four receptions for 34 yards. A lot of his opportunities were short-to-mid throws which explains the average of 8.4 yards per catch. While the defense keyed on Flowers, the other pass-catchers got free for plenty of yards and touchdowns. The speedy wideout will look to bounce back against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11.
Nov 8, 2024 10:04 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has gained some momentum over the past couple of weeks and now has three weeks with finishes in WR1 territory. He also has two more finishes as a WR2, but now has more competition for targets with Diontae Johnson getting integrated into the offense a bit further. While Johnson only played in 30% of the snaps in Week 9, that will likely increase in Week 10 against the Bengals. Flowers surpassed the 100-yard mark against the Bengals in Week 5 and this game has the makings of another shootout just like their 41-38 contest. So, he should still have WR2 potential.
Nov 6, 2024 4:50 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers posted his first multi-score game of the season and broke the century mark in a 41-10 blowout over the Denver Broncos. The speedy wideout finished the game with 127 yards, two touchdowns, five receptions, and six targets. He was able to get open at all different levels of the field and was able to shed tacklers in the process. Flowers' longest play of the day was a 53-yard score where he caught the ball in the middle of the field, broke a tackle, and outran the rest of the defense. He'll look to continue this momentum in Week 10 against their AFC North foes the Cincinnati Bengals.
Nov 3, 2024 6:44 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been the number-one target in most games this season, but now has some more competition for throws. Diontae Johnson enters the fold and will undoubtedly command some more targets than Nelson Agholor did. In the first week since the trade, however, Flowers should lead the pass-catchers in targets. He'll have to go up against Patrick Surtain II and the Denver Broncos defense who give up the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing receiver groups. Flowers should have some more value in PPR formats but isn't likely to be a WR1 given the tougher matchup.
Nov 2, 2024 12:38 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers overcame his ankle injury to suit up for Week 8 and he delivered yet another 100-yard performance. In the 29-24 loss to the Cleveland Browns, he ended up with seven receptions for 115 yards on 12 targets. He didn't see any work in the ground game on this one, but he remained Lamar Jackson's top target out of all the pass-catchers. Flowers has tremendous value in PPR formats as he's posted three WR1 performances and had two without scoring a touchdown. He'll look to find the end zone in Week 9 against the Denver Broncos.
Oct 27, 2024 9:28 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) is active for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable. The young pass-catcher missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session on Friday, so his availability for Week 8 was far from guaranteed. In the end, though, he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. Flowers has been somewhat inconsistent as a low-floor, high-ceiling receiver this year. While fantasy managers can't be fully confident in his ability to post starter-caliber numbers, he should still be deployed as a top-24 receiver in most leagues. So far this year, he ranks as the overall WR19 in PPR leagues.
Oct 27, 2024 11:36 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) is anticipated to play in Sunday's AFC North showdown with the Cleveland Browns. The wideout earned a questionable tag after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He logged a limited session on Friday, although that didn't add any clarity regarding his availability for Week 8. However, Barring a setback, Lamar Jackson will have his top pass-catcher on the field. Of course, Flowers is a must-start in all fantasy setups. Unfortunately, Flowers' presence could mean fewer targets for Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews, and Isaiah Likely, who would have all been in line for more attention.
Oct 27, 2024 12:02 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Cleveland Browns according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Flowers was sidelined during practice earlier in the week, but returned in a limited capacity on Friday which is a promising sign for his availability. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the weekend. The 24-year-old has eclipsed 18.0 PPR points on three occasions this season and averaged 66.8 yards per game through Weeks 1 through 6. If Flowers is able to play, he should be viewed as a solid WR2. If not, Rashod Bateman should operate as the primary wideout, and be viewed as a WR3 with upside.
Oct 25, 2024 4:17 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) returned to practice on Friday according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. This is a great sign for the 24-year-old as he did not participate in any practice sessions earlier in the week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may carry an injury designation into the weekend, depending on his participation level during Friday's practice. If Flowers were to sit out on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, Rashod Bateman should be expected to operate as the top wideout. He would become a viable WR3 option facing a Cleveland secondary who has allowed the 24th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.
Oct 25, 2024 12:33 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday after tweaking his ankle in Monday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Flowers injured his ankle in the first half on Monday and quickly came back into the game, but he was barely involved after that, finishing with just one catch on one target for 11 yards while carrying the ball one time for a pickup of 19 yards in the 41-31 victory. The 24-year-old pass-catcher's status for Week 8 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns is now firmly up in the air, and if he doesn't return to practice on Friday, he'll likely be ruled out. Flowers has sandwiched two one-catch performances around back-to-back 100-yard games and has been boom/bust for fantasy managers. If he's unavailable against Cleveland, both Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor will have higher fantasy ceilings.
