Weekly Writeup
Flowers' beastly 29.8% target share is the second-highest among all rookie WRs in the NFL, behind only Rams WR Puka Nacua. It's likely that Flowers will see a considerable amount of work again in Week 4 vs. the Browns, especially with teammates Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham Jr. ruled out.

Bottom Line

Flowers is a tremendously talented rookie that projects to be a quality slot receiver in this Ravens offense moving forward.

The first-round NFL draft pick has plenty of long-term upside, but his path to fantasy relevance in 2023 is obscured by a glut of target competition on the Ravens’ depth chart. We consider him a stronger dynasty asset than redraft target, though steady camp buzz may bubble into putting Flowers firmly on the redraft radar.

What We Learned Last Year
  • Flowers was selected by the Ravens with the 22nd overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
  • As a senior at Boston College, Flowers posted career-best numbers across the board:
    • 124 targets
    • 78 catches
    • 1,077 receiving yards
    • 12 receiving TDs
  • He accounted for a 29.8% share of Boston College’s receptions, 36.3% of the team’s receiving yards, and a massive 57.1% of the receiving scores in 2022.
  • Flowers was named first-team All-ACC and received a nod as a Biletnikoff Award (top college WR) semifinalist.
  • He ended his college career as the school’s leader in career receptions (200), receiving yards (3,056), and receiving TDs (29).
  • Flowers measured in at 5’9, 182 pounds at the NFL Combine and registered a speedy 4.42 40-yard time.
What to Expect in 2023
  • Draft Sharks analyst Jared Smola noted in Flowers’ prospect profile that the rookie’s size will likely pigeonhole him into the slot in the NFL.
  • That said, his explosive route running and dangerous elusivity with the ball in his hands after the catch will bode well for Flowers.
  • Flowers’ dynasty value is reasonably high, but his immediate 2023 outlook is cluttered by being on a depth chart with WRs Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham Jr., and TE Mark Andrews.
  • It’s conceivable that Flowers could emerge from an ambiguous WR corps under new OC Todd Monken. Thus far in camp, numerous beat reporters and national writers like NBC Sports' Peter King have spoken glowingly of the rookie. The absence of Rashod Bateman (who came off the PUP list on August 8) helped Flowers get a bit of a spotlight.
  • The drumbeat for Flowers has grown to a point where a couple of solid preseason performances could cement him as a quality late-round pick in 2023 redraft leagues.

Odell Beckham Jr., WR BAL

3:33pm EDT 9/29/23

Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman out for Week 4

Ravens WRs Odell Beckham (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) have been ruled out for Sunday's game vs. the Browns. That leaves Nelson Agholor as Baltimore's No. 2 WR and Devin Duvernay as the No. 3. Expect a run-heavy attack from the Ravens, with WR Zay Flowers and TE Mark Andrews dominating targets.

View all Odell Beckham Jr. Shark Bites »

Ravens WR Zay Flowers recorded team-highs in targets (10), catches (8), and receiving yards (48) in Sunday’s OT loss vs. the Colts. TE Mark Andrews saw some action as well, hauling in 4 of 5 targets for 45 yards in the Week 3 contest. The Ravens’ aerial attack hasn’t come out in full force yet this season, though both Flowers and Andrews have had solid fantasy relevance. The duo will look to continue their successes next week vs. the Browns.

WR Nelson Agholor led the Ravens with 63 receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Bengals. His 5 catches tied TE Mark Andrews for the team lead and included a 17-yard TD. Agholor benefited from WR Odell Beckham Jr. leaving early with an ankle injury. WR Zay Flowers fell just 1 yard short of Agholor, with a 4-62 receiving line on 5 targets. WR Rashod Bateman drew just three looks, catching all three for 18 yards. We'll see about Beckham's status for a Week 3 home date with the Colts. Even if he's out, though, we wouldn't make Agholor a priority pickup on waivers this week.

Ravens WR Odell Beckham has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game vs. the Bengals with an ankle injury. We'll update his status when we know more. Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, and Nelson Agholor will operate as Baltimore's top three WRs the rest of the way.

View all Odell Beckham Jr. Shark Bites »

Ravens WR Zay Flowers drew 10 targets among QB Lamar Jackson's 22 pass attempts in Sunday's easy victory over the Texans. Flowers caught nine of them for 78 yards (8.7 yards per catch). Rashod Bateman and Odell Beckham Jr. garnered 3 targets apiece, tying RB J.K. Dobbins for second on the team (and Dobbins went down in the third quarter). We'll see whether target distribution continues to look similar. Flowers at least looks like the clear top choice among Baltimore wideouts for Week 2 against Cincinnati, though.

Dynasty Write-up
A productive four-year player at Boston College, Flowers earned Round 1 draft capital in April. While undersized, he’s a dynamic playmaker who profiles as an impact slot for Baltimore. The Ravens locking up QB Lamar Jackson long-term was a huge win here.
