NFL: The Insiders on Zay Flowers

Flowers averages 6.1 yards per LB matchup; Bills LBs allow 8.6 yards/target.

Flowers is having an unbelievable season and has exploited linebackers as a major area of attack; he has 14 receptions for 224 yards on 17 targets versus linebackers, averaging 6.1 yards per matchup against linebackers (halfway to a first down). The Ravens clearly want to get Flowers involved over the middle of the field and matched up against linebackers through motion and route combinations. This is particularly relevant against the Bills, whose linebackers are giving up 8.6 yards per target (30th in the league), making Flowers a prime target for the Ravens offense.
