Consistent YPRR gains and career-best catchable rate suggest sustainable efficiency

Flowers appears to be an unfavorable regression candidate on the surface, but JJ Zachariason is increasingly bullish on him and actively trying to get more exposure to him in 2026. He has increased his yards per route run in each of the last three seasons (1.86, 2.47, 2.55) and came off a career-best catchable target rate in 2025, suggesting his efficiency gains are real and sustainable rather than regression-prone. Zachariason expects the catchable target rate to scale back but remain solid.
