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

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that wide receiver Zay Flowers (knee) ended up not needing surgery for his knee this offseason. Flowers sprained his right knee in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns and wasn't able to play in either of the team's postseason games as a results. The 24-year-old former 22nd overall pick in 2023 out of Boston College should now be fully ready for the start of the 2025 season this fall, but we'll keep a close eye on his progress once training camp gets underway in late July. Flowers earned Pro Bowl recognition in 2024 in his second year in the league after catching 74 passes for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns on 116 targets over 17 games (15 starts). He has been the team's WR1 since being drafted in the first round and has plenty of elusiveness and speed, but he's more of a low-end WR2/high-end WR3 in fantasy in a run-first offense.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. said that he added muscle this offseason as a result of eating the right foods. "I definitely put on some pounds," Harrison said on Monday at the team's facility. "I think I added some muscle to my body a little bit. Still just trying to see how my body feels throughout OTAs. Kind of get that specific weight to settle in for training camp and go from there." The 22-year-old had high expectations in his rookie year in 2024 with Arizona after being the fourth overall pick, but he didn't live up to them after catching 62 passes for 885 yards and eight touchdowns. He thinks that "contested-catch situations, run after the catch" will be areas that he can improve in 2025 now that he's stronger and bigger. Tight end Trey McBride took a lot of targets away from Harrison, but he shouldn't have much competition for targets otherwise as he looks to improve in Year 2.
