ESPN Fantasy Football on Zay Flowers
From the article
DJ Turner is a strong bet to shadow Flowers when he aligns on the perimeter, which he has done on 45% of his routes this season. Flowers will avoid Turner on roughly half of his routes, but note that the Bengals have allowed a 56% completion rate to receivers (fourth lowest) and none have cleared 15.0 points in a game. Flowers remains a lineup lock, but a down game wouldn't be a shock.
STACKED’s take
Flowers faces elite shadow corner DJ Turner; down game possible despite lineup lock status.
Flowers remains a lineup lock but faces a challenging shadow matchup against DJ Turner, one of the league's top shadow corners who has already traveled with Emeka Egbuka (11.3 fantasy points), Xavier Hutchinson (6.7), DK Metcalf (12.1), Parker Washington (2.0), and Chris Bell (2.6) this season. Turner will shadow Flowers on roughly 45% of his routes when he aligns on the perimeter. In two prior matchups last season, Flowers was held to 2-6-0 on seven targets in Week 13 but was better with 3-68-1 on five targets in Week 15. Additionally, the Bengals have allowed a 56% completion rate to receivers (fourth lowest) and none have cleared 15.0 points in a game. A down game wouldn't be a shock despite Flowers' lineup lock status.
