Ravens WR Zay Flowers got his largest playing-time share so far this season in Sunday's win over the Titans. He stayed on the field for 73% of the snaps and ran a route on 91% of dropbacks. That marked a big rise from Flowers' mere 31.1% playing time through his first two appearances this year -- surrounding a missed week -- and 48.1% route rate. Flowers wound up with 8 catches for 118 yards and a TD among 10 targets, leading the team in each category. The numbers would have been even larger if QB Lamar Jackson hadn't left early with a left-ankle injury.
2026 Fantasy Football Impact: QB Status Matters for Outlook
Flowers has seen excellent usage and deliver the production when on the field this year, but Jackson's injury will be important to watch.
Flowers finished the first half with a 6-119-1 receiving line on 7 targets. He caught two more balls the rest of the way, for a loss of 1 yard.
Tyler Huntley started twice for last year's Ravens, finishing those games with just 186 and 107 passing yards. Flowers finished those games with these receiving lines:
- 5-64 on 5 targets
- 4-30-1 on 5 targets
Flowers averaged 6.9 targets for the season.
We'll see about Jackson's status for Week 5 and beyond. Flowers will likely remain a fantasy starter in most cases even if his QB sits, though.
