Who Should I Start? Jerry Jeudy or Zay Flowers

Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers reached WR7 in half-PPR fantasy formats by dominating Baltimore's wide receiver target share in 2025. His 118 targets accounted for 55.9% of all passes thrown to Ravens wideouts, with DeAndre Hopkins' 39 putting him at a distant second. Baltimore was the only team in the league to run more plays out of 12-personnel than 11, with Flowers the sole staple in those two-receiver sets. With a coaching overhaul ahead of the 2026 season and the team spending third and fourth-round picks on receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt, Flowers could see a target share dip that would be hard to overcome with his consistently low touchdown numbers. While not responsible for playcalling under Ben Johnson, new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle held the same title in Chicago, where the Bears deployed three-receiver sets at the league's seventh-highest rate in 2025. Flowers still profiles as the unquestioned top receiver in Baltimore, and he could benefit from an overall higher passing volume, but enough factors are working against him to keep him at RotoBaller's dynasty WR26 despite coming off a career year.
