Who Should I Start? Justin Jefferson or Zay Flowers

Tuesday, January 14, 12:12 AM

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson brought in 5-of-8 targets for 58 yards in his team's Wild Card loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The fantasy stalwart tied fellow wideout Jordan Addison for the team lead in targets but was mostly shut down by a stingy Rams defense. It was a rough day for the entire Vikes' offense, as quarterback Sam Darnold had trouble connecting with any of his pass catchers, even when he wasn't in the grass. Jefferson caught his last pass of the contest with just over three minutes to go in the first half. The superstar wideout had another excellent season, but he'll undoubtedly be left wanting more after a near first-round bye. At this time, it is difficult to tell who the 25-year-old's signal-caller will be in 2025. However, he'll still likely be chosen amongst the first few picks in next Summer's fantasy drafts.

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.
