Oh, let me tell ya ’bout Zay Flowers, this fella’s really catchin’ folks’ attention in the fantasy football world! Now, he’s no stranger to the big plays, I’ll say that. Bein’ the main wide receiver for the Ravens, he’s out there workin’ hard, grabbin’ them targets left and right. Why, they say he’s already got himself about a 25.8% target share, which is real high, mind ya. That means they’re throwin’ the ball his way a lot more than most other players.
But here’s the thing – Zay’s a bit of a hit-or-miss in terms of those touchdowns. Since Week 2, the poor fella hasn’t seen the ball much in the red zone, meanin’ the area near the end zone where touchdowns happen. So, if you’re hopin’ he’ll score big each week, ya might be a bit disappointed sometimes. His weekly chances to land a touchdown are kinda low, I’ll be honest with ya. But he makes up for it by gettin’ plenty of other yards. He’s ranked 20th in deep targets among wide receivers, so you know he’s out there tryin’ to make big plays happen.
Now, let’s talk about how he plays. Zay’s movin’ all over the field, but mostly stickin’ to the outside at 60% of his snaps. He plays in the slot too, which makes up around 40% of his snaps. He’s versatile, as they say. Can line up outside and inside, dependin’ on what the Ravens need. That’s real useful ’cause it keeps defenses guessin’ and gives him a better chance to break free.
Oh, and folks are lookin’ forward to seein’ him shine in 2024 too. In his rookie season, he was WR29 overall, which is right decent. He set records for the Ravens as a rookie, so he’s got that big-play potential folks are always talkin’ about. With Lamar Jackson throwin’ him the ball, and the way them two are buildin’ chemistry, things are lookin’ bright. Some folks say he could even end up a top-20 wide receiver if things go right!
Let me tell ya, his ADP (that’s where folks pick him in the drafts) is around 56.64, meanin’ he usually goes in the 5th to 8th rounds in drafts. That’s a sweet spot for him if you’re thinkin’ long-term, ‘specially with how much he’s likely to keep growin’. If he stays healthy and keeps improvin’, he’s got a right good chance to be a strong pick for folks who need someone consistent.
And if ya ask about Week 8, when the Ravens went up against the Browns, he was in there playin’. Even after a bit of a low week before, Zay got back on his feet. With him bein’ part of them pregame warm-ups, everyone was hopeful he’d be makin’ them moves on the field.
Now, if you’re thinkin’ of him as a fantasy pick, let me just say he’s got that “solid” upside. He’s not the type that’ll give you a touchdown every week, but he sure is reliable for yards and catches. And that’s what counts in the long run, ain’t it? If ya need a wide receiver who’s young, full of potential, and part of a good team, Zay Flowers is lookin’ mighty fine as an option this season. Keep an eye on him, ’cause he’s just startin’ to bloom, I tell ya!
In sum, Zay might not score the most touchdowns, but he’s gettin’ the kind of WR1 usage (that’s top-dog receiver, for those wonderin’) you’d want. He’s fast, he’s reliable, and he’s only gonna get better with time.
