The Baltimore Ravens will host the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 13. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding WR Zay Flowers.

Should You Start or Sit Flowers in Week 13?
I’m not going to sell you on Flowers as a league winner, but it’s this type of player that allows the league winners to make a difference.
In an era of variance outside of the truly elite, you generally know what you’re getting from Baltimore’s WR1. During this five-game win streak, Flowers has scored 11.1-14.1 PPR points in every contest, and the output essentially ends up looking the same, even if we get there in a variety of ways.
You’re going to get 4-6 catches for 55-75 yards most weeks, and the quality of opponent really hasn’t mattered. Over that stretch, there have been games against the Browns/Vikings, but also the Jets/Dolphins/Bears.
I’d love to see some spike potential in a matchup like this, but he hasn’t seen an end zone target since Week 1. Mark Andrews and Derrick Henry account for all of the quality usage in close to the goal line, and that leaves us without much of a ceiling.
An elevated floor is appealing, but not exciting. Eat your vegetables and play Flowers: if the entree is good, the meal as a whole will be a success.
