Zay Flowers News
Thursday, July 16, 9:05 AM
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is one of the league's top pass-catchers and is the top target for quarterback Lamar Jackson after two straight Pro Bowl seasons in 2024 and 2025. Clifton Brown of the team's official website writes that Flowers is a threat to break the franchise record for most receiving yards in a season, which was set by tight end Mark Andrews in 2021 with 1,361 yards. The 25-year-old former 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of Boston College has had back-to-back 1,000-yard receiving seasons with nine total touchdowns in 34 regular-season games for the Ravens. There isn't much depth behind Flowers in Baltimore's passing attack, which gives Flowers a pretty safe volume floor as a low-end WR1/high-end WR2 target in fantasy football drafts, even with the Ravens implementing a new offense under head coach Jesse Minter. General manager Eric DeCosta said on 105.7 The Fan on Thursday that the team "definitely" wants to sign Flowers to a contract extension before the start of the 2026 regular season in early September. With a bounce-back season likely coming for QB Lamar Jackson if he can stay healthy, Flowers is a fine target in the early rounds of fantasy drafts, especially in PPR formats.

Tetairoa McMillan News
Tuesday, July 21, 11:59 AM
The eighth overall selection in the 2025 NFL Draft, Carolina Panthers wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan recorded 70 catches for 1,014 yards and seven touchdowns on 122 targets across 17 games as a rookie. By measure of per-game PPR scoring, McMillan finished the year as a low-end WR2. Entering 2026, the 23-year-old remains the clear number one option in the Panthers' passing game. However, he could see more target competition this season. Carolina should get a full season out of wide receiver Jalen Coker, who missed six games due to injury in 2025. The team also used a third-round pick in the 2026 Draft on wideout Chris Brazzell II. Perhaps most importantly, the Panthers have been a run-heavy team since head coach Dave Canales took over in 2024. Over the past two seasons, Carolina quarterback Bryce Young is averaging just 28.7 pass attempts per game. While McMillan has clear upside, he may be slightly overvalued at his current redraft ADP of WR15.
