Who Should I Start? Zay Flowers or Marvin Harrison Jr.

Saturday, December 21, 9:37 PM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers reeled in 5-of-8 targets for 100 yards in Week 16's 34-17 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He added three yards on his lone carry. The 24-year-old was quiet for most of the contest but salvaged his day late with a field-flipping 49-yard grab. It was the first time that Flowers had reached the century mark since way back in Week 9, and just the third time in that stretch he's recorded at least five receptions. Despite the boom-bust nature of his game, the second-year wideout is far and away quarterback Lamar Jackson's No. 1 target and a dynamic player when in space with the ball in his hands. The former first-round pick will get a favorable matchup in Week 17 against a Houston Texans defense that's allowed the ninth-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers through 15 weeks (36.0).

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is a flex play with great potential in Week 16. He and the Cardinals will travel to Carolina to face a defense that ranks 16th in fantasy points allowed to opposing receivers. Harrison Jr. has been boom or bust all season, and this week, he's presented with an opportunity to boom. He has been somewhat touchdown-dependent for fantasy production this season, and he will be facing a defense that has allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL. Despite not fully living up to the high expectations that come with being a top-five pick to this point, he has received over 90 targets this season and will be involved in Sunday's game plan. Harrison Jr. should be considered a flex play this week, with managers trusting him in their lineups.
