Who Should I Start? Zay Flowers or Cam Skattebo

Wednesday, October 8, 9:21 PM

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.

According to a new story by Jordan Raanan of ESPN, the New York Giants view running back Cam Skattebo as both their top option of the present and the future. The rookie from Arizona State has received the lion's share of work with Tyrone Tracy Jr. (shoulder) out for the past couple weeks, but the team apparently views Skattebo as their preferred option for the near term. Fantasy managers have seen nice return on investment in Skattebo, especially in PPR formats, in which his 14 catches the past three games has paired nicely with 198 rushing yards and a touchdown. The split between the two backs will be worth watching, but it seems like Skattebo will carry the upper hand.
