Who Should I Start? DeVonta Smith or Zay Flowers

Monday, February 10, 12:31 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith caught four of his five targets for 69 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Super Bowl win over the Kansas City Chiefs. The 26-year-old epitomized consistency over the last month, catching exactly four passes in each of his four playoff games. At times, Smith has looked more productive than A.J. Brown, and he got the edge over his teammate on Sunday by pacing all Eagles receivers in catches and yards. Although Smith himself had some inconsistent moments throughout the regular season, there is no denying that he is a talented player in an incredibly potent offense. Even as he loses some opportunities to Brown, Saquon Barkley, and Jalen Hurts, there is clearly a path for Smith to finish as a mid-range WR2 in 2025 fantasy football.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) was seen taking part in organized team activities on Wednesday. Flowers sprained his right knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns and was unable to play in either of the team's postseason games. The 24-year-old didn't need surgery in the offseason, though, and should be just fine for training camp this summer and the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. In his second NFL season, Flowers made the Pro Bowl by finishing with 74 catches on 116 targets for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns in 17 regular-season games (15 starts). In a run-first offense, Flowers thrives on efficiency and explosive plays with his elite speed, rather than on volume. With limited targets, Flowers' ceiling is probably as a low-end WR2 if he can find the end zone more often.
