Yahoo Fantasy Forecast on Zay Flowers

Flowers' shift to 82% slot usage in Week 3 reflects Ravens' design to maximize his opportunities.

Harmon notes this is unusual for Flowers' career profile but emphasizes the Ravens' offensive design is maximizing his opportunities through motion, heavy personnel, and play action (all at 10th-highest rates).
