STACKED’s take

Flowers' elite per-route metrics suggest monster upside despite injury.

Flowers' per-route run efficiency is elite despite limited sample size and injury. Her top comp via market score analysis is 2025 Jackson Smith-Njigba. Through limited action, Flowers ranks 11th in receiving yards while running only 25 routes (114th in routes run) with a 30% snap share. She has averaged over 9 yards per route run and posted a league-high 48% targets per route run rate. JJ Zachariason acknowledges the tiny sample against beatable defenses but believes Flowers could have a monster season if she can maintain elite efficiency.
