Video: The Ultimate Wide Receiver Guide for 2026
I'm good on Zay Flowers as well. He's my wide receiver 16. Loved what I saw out of him last year... when they get inside the 10 and the 5 yard line, they just hand it to Derrick Henry or throw it to their tight ends... Can he score can he walk away with eight touchdowns and 90 catches and 1400 yards and and that end up being a top five fantasy wide receiver finish? Yeah, I think so... there's a little bit of systemic risk

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

WR16 with systemic risk; red zone role limits TD upside despite volume.

The source ranks Flowers at WR16 and loved his 2024 production, but notes systemic risk with a new coaching staff. Flowers' low touchdown upside stems from red zone role distribution: Derrick Henry and tight ends dominate inside the 5–10 yard line, leaving Flowers as the fourth option in those situations. The source questions whether Flowers can reach 1,400–1,500 receiving yards, which remains to be seen. However, with increased passing volume from Lamar Jackson, Flowers could post 8 TDs, 90 catches, 1,400 yards and finish as a top-five fantasy WR.
