Ravens, WR Zay Flowers agree to extension

Zay Flowers was noticeably absent from the Baltimore Ravens’ practice Tuesday, but the uncertainty surrounding the two-time Pro Bowl wide receiver did not last long. Flowers and the Ravens agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension that includes $108 million guaranteed, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported through Flowers’ agency, WIN Sports Group. The contract averages $35 million per season and represents Baltimore’s largest financial commitment to a wide receiver in franchise history.

Fantasy Impact: 

Flowers was scheduled to play the 2026 season under the final year of his rookie contract. The Ravens had also exercised his fifth-year option for 2027, but general manager Eric DeCosta repeatedly expressed confidence that the two sides would complete a long-term agreement before the regular season, the story said. The No. 22 overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft has developed into the most productive homegrown wide receiver in franchise history. Flowers has recorded 237 receptions for 3,128 yards and 14 touchdowns through his first three seasons, earning Pro Bowl selections in 2024 and 2025. His 1,211 receiving yards last season established a Ravens single-season record for a wide receiver, the story went on to say. From a fantasy standpoint, we feel touchdowns will be a big factor to his fantasy success this season, since TE Mark Andrews is a red zone target and RB Derrick Henry often gets his chances as well.
