Should You Start or Sit Zay Flowers in Week 6?
The 1-4 Ravens have plenty of issues at the moment, but their WR1 has cleared 12 PPR points in four of five after managing to land a chunk play in this Cooper-led offense last weekend against the Texans (56-yard catch that he found a way to not score on).
Zay Flowers is seeing a career-high 36.1% of his targets come deep down field this season, and while that brings about upside, the risk grows if Baltimore is playing from behind and opponents are shading against the splash gains.
I’m enjoying the ride while it lasts, but be aware that this is a rather flimsy house of cards. Flowers has just six red zone touches since the beginning of last season and has seen his target rate tank with each passing season.
-
2023: Targeted on 19.7% of red zone routes
-
2024: Targeted on 12.3% of red zone routes
-
2025: Targeted on 8.3% of red zone routes
I have him ranked as a low-end WR2/high-end flex in PPR formats because I’m not expecting anyone to subtract from his target count. That said, the targets these days aren’t as valuable as he hoped, and given that this team ranks 31st in average time of possession, there’s more room for regression than growth in terms of opportunity count.
