Yahoo Fantasy Football on Zay Flowers
From the article
The opportunity is in how Baltimore can force Indianapolis to defend him. Gardner and Ward played only one full game together last season.
STACKED’s take
Flowers' 46% hit rate and 13% boom rate hinge on Baltimore's ability to create favorable matchups vs. Colts' secondary.
Flowers is WR13 on both Yahoo and ECR with a 13% boom rate and 46% hit rate against Indianapolis. While Sauce Gardner and Charvarius Ward are talented, they played only one full game together last season; Justin Walley is preparing for his first NFL regular-season snap after a torn ACL, and Cam Taylor-Britt is suspended for Week 1. Baltimore can exploit this by moving Flowers around, using motion, stacking his release, and getting him inside to avoid Gardner lining up across from him all afternoon. Flowers had a 27% target-per-route-run rate and averaged 2.85 yards per route run against single-high coverage last season. Indianapolis gave up 4,462 passing yards and 57 completions of at least 20 yards. Flowers is coming off career highs with 86 catches and 1,211 yards.
