ZayFlowers

News: 21 hours agoRavens head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that Flowers (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, Sam Cohn of The Baltimore Sun reports.

Spin: Minter's comments essentially match what Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported earlier Monday, as Flowers' left hamstring injury isn't considered serious and is unlikely to result in the wideout missing much time, if any. Before departing Sunday's 41-23 win over the Colts with just under six minutes remaining in the second quarter, Flowers had a banner day, recording five receptions for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown. If Flowers is able to make enough progress in his recovery from the hamstring injury as Week 2 prep rolls along and is cleared to play next Sunday versus the Saints, he should be locked in as quarterback Lamar Jackson's top target.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Flowers' emergence into a star continued in 2025, as the 2023 first-round pick posted career-best marks in target share (29%), targets (118), catches (86) and yardage (1,211). Despite still lacking a role near the goal line (he has never cleared seven end zone targets or six touchdowns in a single season), Flowers finished seventh among receivers in fantasy points (13th PPG), which marks his first finish better than 25th (31st PPG). A highly targeted, short-range RAC specialist, Flowers' ceiling is lower than other top receivers, but the 25-year-old remains positioned as Lamar Jackson's top target in Baltimore's new-look offense. Flowers makes for a solid fantasy WR2.
