Who Should I Start? Zay Flowers or Ladd McConkey

Saturday, December 6, 11:24 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers registered the worst game of his career in Week 13 and it was the first time he failed to reach 10 receiving yards since Week 15 in 2023 where he had one catch for seven yards against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Finishing as the WR106 looks even worse against a defense as bad as the Cincinnati Bengals though. Now, he'll take on the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 14 who are ranked 30th against opposing receivers. They've allowed 37.39 fantasy points per contest and have let receivers accrue a total of 2,061 yards and 14 touchdowns. Flowers and the Ravens' offense have hit some very low lows this year, but his talent and the struggling Steelers secondary has given him WR2 value.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (foot) was cleared from the injury report Friday and will play in Week 15's divisional matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. McConkey was limited every day in practice this week with a foot injury, but he will head into Sunday without an injury designation. The second-year wideout is coming off one of his least productive games of the season against the Philadelphia Eagles, recording just one catch for 12 yards on five targets. It marks his second game this season with just one catch, with the other coming back in Week 4. McConkey will look to rebound against the Chiefs, whom he faced back in Week 1 and tallied six catches for 74 yards on nine targets. The second-year wideout will have a higher fantasy ceiling if receiver Quentin Johnston (calf) is ruled out.
