From the episode
Everything kind of aligns for Zay flowers to break out in a big way... the only thing that he's missing is routes... you get those routes up, you get a new OC that targets him in the end zone. Everything else that is in the peripheral profile screams wide receiver one.
STACKED’s take
Flowers' year-four breakout supported by new OC, route volume upside, and red zone target share trajectory.
Flowers is positioned for a breakout in year four/five of his career with Declan Doyle (Ben Johnson's former OC) joining the Ravens and Lamar Jackson as his QB. The source notes Flowers ran 600 routes in his rookie season but hasn't cracked 500 since; with a median expectation of increased routes and a new OC who targets him in the end zone, his peripheral profile screams WR1. His 17% red zone target share over three seasons exceeds Antonio Brown's 12% and Tyler Lockett's 8% at the same career stage, and both those players saw spikes to 24-36% and 28% respectively in years four-six. The source emphasizes Flowers doesn't need size to score touchdowns—finesse and skill matter—and notes he's improved his field-turning ability significantly.
