Who Should I Start? Christian McCaffrey or Zay Flowers

Tuesday, November 11, 7:39 PM

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey handled 12 carries for 30 rushing yards and caught eight of his 10 targets for 66 receiving yards in Week 10. As has been the norm this season, McCaffrey's abilities as a receiver kept fantasy football managers happy. He has registered more yards through the air than on the ground in seven of ten games, and Week 10 was the sixth game of the season where he led the team in targets. The 96 scrimmage yards he ground out were his second-lowest total of the season and just the second time in 2025 that he failed to hit the century mark. He should fare better in Week 11 when the 49ers square off against the Arizona Cardinals, who just gave up 181 rushing yards and two touchdowns to Seattle's running backs in Week 10.

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.
