Should You Start or Sit Zay Flowers in Week 11?
The idea of banking on Zay Flowers is sound — he’s the clear WR1 in one of the best offenses in the league whose defense struggles to get consecutive stops. The process makes all the sense in the world, and that is why I am going to continue to rank him as a viable starter, but it’s been a wild ride.
The production is all over the place. That’s because his role is all over the place. This season, he’s posted an aDOT of under 5.5 yards in five games this season, but he’s also cleared 10.5 yards in four instances. We know that Flowers is a great YAC threat (up 38% from last season), but with the sporadic usage due to the dynamic that Derrick Henry brings to this offense, his fantasy value is anything but stable.
I don’t think there’s much you can do here. I’ve dropped him down in my rankings, but that doesn’t remove him from the third tier and a starter across the board. If I’m going down in my league, this is the type of player I’ll do it for, one where we see glimpses of the potential and are confident in his offensive environment.
