Zay Flowers News
Wednesday, June 24, 8:41 AM
Across 17 games in 2025, Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers recorded 86 receptions for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns on 118 targets. The 25-year-old was by far and away the number one wide receiver option in his team's passing game, as veteran wideout DeAndre Hopkins finished second among Ravens wideouts in targets with 39. In 2026, Flowers may no longer have such a dominant hold on the team's target share. Baltimore wide receiver Rashod Bateman should be healthier after missing four games in 2025, and the team also used mid-round picks in the 2026 draft on wide receivers Ja'Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt. While Flowers is an explosive threat with the ball in his hands, he's scored only 14 touchdowns across 50 career NFL games. If his target volume dips even marginally, it could be a major issue for his fantasy production. As the 16th wide receiver off the board by average draft position, Flowers may currently be overvalued in redraft formats.

Ladd McConkey News
Tuesday, June 16, 3:16 PM
Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hamstring) said he strained his left hamstring during Phase 2 of the team's offseason program, but he doesn't view it as a significant concern and expects to be ready for the start of training camp in late July, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that McConkey is "working through something," but that he will take part in individual drills during this week's mandatory minicamp. The 24-year-old burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2024 after the Bolts took him with the 34th overall pick in the second round in 2024 out of the University of Georgia, catching 82 of his 112 targets for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games. McConkey took a slight step back as a sophomore, though, finishing with a 66-789-6 line on 106 targets across 16 regular-season games. In his first year in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme, McConkey could be headed for another big year, making him a strong WR2 target in fantasy drafts, especially in PPR formats.
