Zay Flowers News
Monday, September 14, 5:12 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is day-to-day with an injury that is not considered serious, according to Ian Rapoport. Rapoport also noted that if it were a playoff game, Flowers would likely have returned, which is great news for his outlook. He was off to a dominant start in Week 1's 41-23 victory over the Indianapolis Colts, hauling in five of six targets for 150 yards and a touchdown, all in the first half. Flowers was playing nearly every snap and had played 55% of the time in the slot before the injury. Fantasy managers should expect Flowers to be inactive, as hamstring injuries can be difficult to overcome on a short turnaround. However, if Flowers can play in Week 2, he should contend for WR1 status against the New Orleans Saints, who allowed 10 receptions and two touchdowns to Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 1.

Harold Fannin Jr. News
Sunday, September 13, 2:43 PM
Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. caught just two of his three targets for 21 yards during Sunday's Week 1 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 22-year-old is looking to build on an impressive rookie campaign in which he ranked as the TE6 with 72 catches, 731 yards, and six touchdowns. He still has that top-six upside, but Sunday's disappointing game is a step in the wrong direction. Fannin's struggles were partly the product of poor quarterback play, as Deshaun Watson finished with just 16 completions, 205 yards, one interception, and one garbage-time touchdown. If there's any reason to be optimistic, it's that the Browns project to be trailing a lot this year, so they'll consistently be looking to throw the football. That bodes well for Fannin's volume share, but he might not get a ton of opportunities near the end zone if the Browns struggle to sustain drives. For now, Fannin is a fringe top-12 fantasy tight end heading into Week 2 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
