Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has now followed up one of his worst games in his three-year career with three weeks of 14 or more fantasy points in half-PPR formats. His lowest finish over the last few weeks has been WR15, and he came in as the WR8 last week against the New England Patriots, despite a fumble at the end of the game. The Ravens are still fighting for their playoff lives in Week 17 when they go up against the Green Bay Packers, and they'll likely have Tyler Huntley under center. The good news is that Huntley seems to target Flowers the most in his starts (10 in Week 6, nine in Week 8). In terms of the matchup, the Packers rank 18th on the season against receivers, but are 30th over the last four weeks. He's projected as the WR24 on RotoBaller's rankings, but has quite a high ceiling depending on game script.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers carries plenty of momentum into Sunday Night Football against the New England Patriots in Week 16. Flowers has been playing at a high level lately, amassing 11 catches, 192 yards, and one touchdown over his last two games. He scored at least 15 full-PPR fantasy points in each of those contests. Flowers will have a tougher matchup this week against the Patriots' secondary, which typically has star cornerback Christian Gonzalez traveling with the opponent's No. 1 receiver. With that being said, if Gonzalez doesn't stay with Flowers, he'll have a much higher ceiling. The Patriots have allowed the 14th-most fantasy points and fourth-most receiving touchdowns to opposing wide receivers in 2025. He ranks as the overall WR17 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 16.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers finally returned to WR1 territory last week for the first time since his Week 1 outburst against the Buffalo Bills. Even though he finally broke the streak of non-WR1 finishes, he still hasn't found the end zone since the first game of the season. The encouraging part is that he received 11 targets against the Pittsburgh Steelers and hauled in eight of those for 124 yards. Their Week 15 opponent, the Cincinnati Bengals, have been a bit more stingy to opposing receivers in fantasy this year. The Bengals rank as the toughest defense against the position over the last four weeks, giving up an average of 15.13 fantasy points per game. The last time Flowers faced the Bengals in Week 13, he finished as the WR106. He projects as a low-end WR2 in this matchup, but it probably doesn't feel great for fantasy managers that need him.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers registered the worst game of his career in Week 13 and it was the first time he failed to reach 10 receiving yards since Week 15 in 2023 where he had one catch for seven yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Finishing as the WR106 looks even worse against a defense as bad as the Cincinnati Bengals though. Now, he'll take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14 who are ranked 30th against opposing receivers. They've allowed 37.39 fantasy points per contest and have let receivers accrue a total of 2,061 yards and 14 touchdowns. Flowers and the Ravens' offense have hit some very low lows this year, but his talent and the struggling Steelers secondary has given him WR2 value.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is quite possibly one of the most consistent options in PPR leagues. Not consistent as in always in the running for WR1 overall, more like consistently putting up average fantasy numbers that are good if he's the flex player every week. He still has a touchdown-less streak and non-WR1 streak going since Week 1. In Week 13, he'll take on the Cincinnati Bengals, who have rolled out quite the atrocious defense over the last couple of seasons. For fantasy purposes, however, the Bengals actually rank tenth against receivers and have only given up six receiving touchdowns all season. Rashod Bateman (ankle) also returns to the lineup, so Flowers is still projected as a mid-level WR2.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been one of the most consistent 10-to-12 fantasy point finishers in the NFL this year. That could be either good or bad depending on roster makeups and depth of league, but he's registered six finishes in that range for half-PPR formats. While the New York Jets are only 2-8 this season, they aren't the easiest matchup against opposing receiver groups. They're ranked 13th on the season, but they dipped to 23rd in the last four weeks and have given up a total of 37 receptions for 429 yards and two touchdowns. Flowers should see the same volume that he's received this season, but he's on a nine-game scoreless streak at the moment. That leaves him as a mid-level WR2 projection yet again.
Nov 22, 2025 11:17 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has very consistently hovered around the high-end WR3 to low-end WR2 area this season. He's been getting 7.3 targets per game and turning them into 5.6 receptions for 69.4 yards. The biggest issue is that he hasn't gotten into the end zone since Week 1. He'll go up against the Cleveland Browns in Week 11, who gave up four touchdown passes to Lamar Jackson and company in Week 2. Flowers also had a solid stat line with 11 targets, seven catches, and 75 yards. That puts him squarely into the WR2 conversation again this week, but he does have a WR1 ceiling with Rashod Bateman (ankle) being ruled out for this contest.
Nov 15, 2025 7:31 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has already accrued 60 targets through eight games, which puts him on pace for the most in a single season through his three-year career. Unfortunately, he hasn't found the end zone since Week 1, but his heavy workload keeps him firmly in the WR2 conversation each week. In Week 10, he'll take on the Minnesota Vikings secondary, who are ranked as the eighth toughest matchup for opposing receiver groups. If you take the last three weeks into account, however, they've given up the second most fantasy points per game to receivers at 44.9 per game. Flowers should remain heavily involved, so he's projected as a high-end WR2 with a ceiling of low-end WR1.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers gets his starting quarterback back on the field for the Thursday night contest with the Miami Dolphins. While he posted a low-level WR2 performance in Week 8, his best games came during Weeks 1, 2, and 4. One of the reasons why Flowers isn't projected as a WR1 is that the Dolphins are the number-one ranked unit against opposing receivers in fantasy football this year. They allow 25.84 points to opposing receiver groups on average, and when Jackson is on the field, he tends to spread the ball around to his pass-catchers a lot more than any of their backups. So, even with the firepower returning to the offense, Flowers projects to be around WR16 this week.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been cleared from the injury report after being a full participant in practice all week. The speedy wideout has struggled quite a bit with Cooper Rush under center, as has the entire offense, but could have Lamar Jackson (hamstring) back against the Chicago Bears. Even if Tyler Huntley has to start, Flowers has a bit of a higher ceiling than before. His matchup would most likely be Kyler Gordon, who has given up a 100% catch rate and an average of 11.5 yards per target. Overall, the Bears' defense has allowed an average of 34.32 fantasy points per game to opposing receiver groups and 10 touchdown receptions so far. Fantasy managers can look to Flowers as a high-end WR2 in this matchup.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder), who was listed as questionable for the Week 6 game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams, is officially active for Sunday's contest. Flowers was limited in practice all week but will suit up as the Ravens look to avoid falling to 1-5 on the season. They'll have to do it without star quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) for the second straight week, which won't be easy against L.A. Flowers caught all five of his targets for 72 yards in last week's blowout loss to the Houston Texans, with quarterback Cooper Rush making the start. It wasn't a bad showing for fantasy purposes, all things considered, but expecting a repeat of that performance from Flowers might be wishful thinking this weekend. He's definitely a fade candidate in DFS, and fantasy managers might want to consider benching him in regular leagues, too, as he's expected to play fewer snaps as he battles through his shoulder injury.
Oct 12, 2025 11:39 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder) is expected to be available for his team's matchup with visiting Los Angeles Rams, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The Boston College alum was a limited participant in practice this week due to a shoulder injury. Despite the questionable designation, Flowers will prepare to play on Sunday, but will again be without quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring), lowering the floor and ceiling of all Ravens' skill players. The 25-year-old was the team's leading receiver in Week 5 with Cooper Rush at the helm, but it's unclear if his ailing shoulder will limit his snaps. If that's the case, teammates DeAndre Hopkins and Rashod Bateman are the most likely wideouts to see an uptick in targets, with tight end Mark Andrews set to absorb more work as well.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the visiting Los Angeles Rams in Week 6, according to Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. While it's possible that Flowers could end up suiting up this weekend against the Rams, the 25-year-old's weekly fantasy appeal has already taken a hit now that we know quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will miss a second straight game. With backup QB Cooper Rush running the offense again on Sunday, Flowers and the rest of Baltimore's offensive skill players will not be as reliable in starting fantasy lineups. Flowers had a decent game in last week's loss to the Houston Texans, catching all five of his targets for 72 yards. However, his fantasy ceiling and floor will be lowered in Week 6 if he's active. If the Ravens give Flowers a rest before their bye next week, DeAndre Hopkins and Rashod Bateman would be the team's top two pass-catchers.
Oct 10, 2025 5:26 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Fantasy managers shouldn't be too worried as this seems like a minor issue. It's the beginning of the practice week, so teams are usually cautious even with minor issues. Flowers is coming off a game where he hauled in five receptions for 72 yards in last week's loss to the Houston Texans. It's unclear if quarterback Lamar Jackson (hamstring) will be back in Week 6. If not, all of the Ravens offensive players will take a hit in value. If Flowers sits out, Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins would see bigger roles. For now, fantasy managers should consider Flowers as day-to-day and expect him to suit up in Week 6.
Oct 8, 2025 9:21 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has been the team's most consistent option in the passing game so far this season, recording 23 receptions for 305 yards and a touchdown on 31 targets through four games. Unfortunately for Flowers, he'll be catching passes from backup quarterback Cooper Rush in Week 5 instead of Lamar Jackson (hamstring), who is out with a hamstring injury. The Ravens also face a difficult matchup in Week 5 against the Houston Texans, who have allowed the seventh-fewest passing yards in the NFL. Rush sports a career completion rate of 60.9%, so he could supply Flowers with a consistent volume of short-area targets. Flowers profiles as a low-end fantasy WR2/high-end WR3/flex option in Week 5 against Houston.
Oct 4, 2025 2:11 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers was almost nowhere to be found in the game script against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. He received three targets and caught two of them for 13 yards compared to seeing 20 targets through the first two games and hauling in seven receptions in each one. He'll take on the Kansas City Chiefs' secondary in Week 4, which always seems personal after the fumble debacle in the playoffs. In their Week 1 matchup last season, Flowers caught six of his 10 targets for 37 yards and ran for 14 more on two carries. The high volume that he usually receives gives him a higher ceiling, which is why he's projected to finish around a low-end WR1 this week in PPR formats.
Sep 27, 2025 11:42 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers was limited to only two catches for 13 yards on three targets on Monday Night Football, as his team lost 38-31 to slip to 1-2 on the season. Flowers was locked down by Lions cornerback D.J. Reed, and he didn't even have a catch until the second half. Flowers was coming off a hot start to the season with seven catches for 143 yards and a touchdown in Week 1 and seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown in Week 2. In Week 3, though, he was much less involved as the targets went mostly to Rashod Bateman (7) and Mark Andrews (6) instead of the dynamic third-year receiver from Boston College. The Ravens will need to find a way for him to be more involved next week as they head on the road to take on the Chiefs in a huge AFC showdown.
Sep 23, 2025 9:23 AM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has stepped up and filled the role as the No. 1 wideout on this roster. Through two games, Flowers has hauled in 14 of his 20 targets for 218 yards with one touchdown. Fantasy managers love seeing the chemistry between Flowers and quarterback Lamar Jackson grow each week. The two of them head into a favorable matchup against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. Flowers wasn't elite last week, but should remain plugged in as a WR1 for this Monday night contest.
Sep 20, 2025 7:52 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers put up the second-highest fantasy points of his career in the Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills. In half-PPR formats, that rates second to only his game against the Denver Broncos in Week 9 last season. Now, he'll try to carry that momentum into the first divisional matchup with the Cleveland Browns, who seem to have a lot of confidence. The speedy wideout didn't score in either of their meetings last season, in part due to their second matchup came in Week 18 when the Ravens rested a lot of starters. In Week 8 last year, Flowers finished as the WR17 against the Browns with seven receptions for 115 yards on 12 targets. He's hovering right around WR2 value again this week, but can always pop off into WR1 territory.
Sep 12, 2025 10:53 PM EST
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers was one of the most popular names among the potential breakout candidates last season. In the end, he averaged almost the exact same amount of fantasy points per game in PPR leagues (12.1 vs 12.3). The speedy wideout finished as WR1 and a WR2 in three games each last season, which left him as a WR3 or worse in the 12 remaining weeks. The good news is that he's seen at least 100 targets in each of the last two seasons, which is why he continues to have WR2 upside, especially in PPR formats. Against the Buffalo Bills in Week 1, RotoBaller's projections have Flowers registering 11.2 fantasy points and finishing as the WR32.
