Scouting report

BAL WR Zay Flowers - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Zay Flowers was limited to just 19 yards last week, the lowest of his young career, in a one-sided victory over the Cardinals. He was still targeted seven times, however, and caught five balls, salvaging his fantasy totals in PPR formats. Flowers has been easily the most used wide receiver in the Baltimore offense this year, and there’s a concerted effort to get the ball in the young playmaker’s hands.

This week, Flowers faces a Seattle defense that ranks 26th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. In a great matchup and in a game that should be a bit more competitive, expect another slew of targets to head in Flowers’ direction. We have him ranked as a fringe-WR2 option and he’s worth starting in most leagues.

BAL WR Zay Flowers - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Arizona Cardinals

Zay Flowers caught four of his six targets for 75 yards last week against the Lions. It was a lopsided victory for the Ravens, and it was good to see Flowers rack up six targets, despite just 28 pass attempts for the ultra-efficient Lamar Jackson.

This week, Flowers has a great matchup against an Arizona defense that ranks 27th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Flowers has been reasonably steady, given the inconsistent production of the Baltimore passing game this year, and we have him ranked as a low-end WR2 option in a great matchup. Start him.

BAL WR Zay Flowers - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Detroit Lions

Zay Flowers scored his first touchdown of his young career last week against the Titans in London. He caught six of his eight targets for 50 yards and now has 48 targets in six games. That’s 14 more than Mark Andrews, who is second on the team - albeit in one fewer game. The Ravens are finding ways to get the ball to Flowers in space, and his PPR value is blossoming more every week.

This week, Flowers faces a Detroit defense that ranks 23rd in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Expect a busy day for the Baltimore passing game, which should lead to additional targets for the youngster. We have him ranked as a quality WR2 option in all leagues, with a little bump in full PPR.

BAL WR Zay Flowers - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Tennessee Titans (London)

Zay Flowers caught five balls for 73 yards last week against the Steelers. Flowers hasn’t had a huge game and hasn’t found the end zone yet, but he has several indicators that should lead to fantasy production as the season continues. First, he has three games with double-digit targets already. Second, he leads Baltimore wide receivers in snaps, and it’s not even close. Even last week, when everyone was healthy, Flowers was on the field for 99% of the team’s offensive snaps, compared to just 59% for Nelson Agholor - the second-place receiver. Finally, Flowers is leading the team with eight targets per game - more than even Mark Andrews. Fantasy production should come.

This week, Flowers has a nice matchup against a Titans defense that ranks 24th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Expect another busy day with a full slate of targets for the rookie, and fantasy managers can safely continue trotting him out as a fringe-WR2 or solid flex option in all leagues.

BAL WR Zay Flowers - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Pittsburgh Steelers

Zay Flowers is clearly the lead receiver in Baltimore with a snap count exceeding 90% in each of the past two games. Flowers has 29 targets in four games and while he hasn’t had an explosive fantasy outing yet, the looks he’s getting should turn into fantasy points sooner or later. He finishes last week’s lopsided victory over the Browns with three catches and 56 yards.

This week, Flowers has a great matchup against a Pittsburgh defense that ranks 31st in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Expect another heavy dose of targets for the talented rookie and a quality WR2 fantasy day. Start him.

BAL WR Zay Flowers - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Cleveland Browns

Zay Flowers only had 50 yards from scrimmage last week against the Colts, but he was targeted 10 times and had eight receptions to go with one rushing attempt. Flowers has logged at least one rush attempt in each game this year and he’s been targeted 25 times. He’s clearly the primary wide receiver in this offense.

This week, Flowers has a tough matchup against the Browns. Cleveland ranks number one in the league in aFPA to opposing wide receivers and they have a relentless pass rush that won’t allow routes to take too long to open up. In that regard, Flowers should benefit, as the Ravens use quick action to create opportunities for Flowers to catch the ball in space. Still, WR3/Flex area is the best you can hope for in what should be a low-scoring affair.

BAL WR Zay Flowers - Week 3 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 3 vs. Indianapolis Colts

Zay Flowers caught four of the five balls through his way last week against the Bengals and ended up with 62 yards. He also had a six-yard carry, his third rushing attempt in two games. Flowers won’t likely see many games with the 10 targets he saw in Week 1 now that Mark Andrews is back on the active gameday roster, but he clearly has a role in this offense. The Ravens seem to like what he brings to the team and are manufacturing touches for the rookie.

This week, Flowers should find some space against a Colts secondary that gave up receiving touchdowns to Nico Collins and Tank Dell a week ago and was torched by Calvin Ridley in Week 1. We have Flowers ranked as a fringe-WR2 option and he has upside as a WR3 or flex option in all leagues.
