Flowers remains the Ravens' top wide receiver option after Zay Flowers, with Rashad Bateman and newly drafted receivers like Elijah Surratt and Jacoby Lane not expected to be prominent target earners.PositiveUsageJul 7, 2026
Zay Flowers is selected as a wide receiver with high confidence in his volume and snap share, fitting the Zero RB strategy's need for receivers who will be on the field consistently.PositiveBreakoutJul 3, 2026
High ceiling sleeper with ECR 34 and WR13 ranking from Tom Strachan; three straight seasons of production growth with 1200 receiving yards last year despite Lamar Jackson missing time. Touchdown regression upside driven by systemic Ravens red zone issues rather than receiver talent: Ravens ranked 35th in red zone completion rate with 62% pressure rate (9% higher than league average), 12.5% sack rate, and 16% drop rate in red zone (3% higher than league average). Flowers is reliable when targeted in red zone but hasn't received enough opportunities; new offensive scheme expected to improve red zone efficiency. Andrew Erickson notes he scored 14 touchdowns across his first three seasons and is clearly the Ravens' number one choice.PositiveBreakoutJul 2, 2026
Former first-round pick on upward trajectory with 1200+ receiving yards, 86 catches, and 6 TDs in 2025; ranked WR7 overall and WR3 in final five games. Fourth in yards per route run behind Puka Nakua and JSN despite going rounds later in drafts. When Lamar Jackson was healthy, he was a top-10 WR in receiving yards per game. New OC Declan Doyle expected to run faster-paced offense; Ravens ranked 27th in red zone scoring, creating TD upside. Fifth in target share last year with potential to lead NFL this year given minimal competition (Mark Andrews declining, Shotwell Bateman at 28% target share as rookie). Compared to Antonio Brown's trajectory; fits McDaniel-style intermediate passing game. Described as flag-plant player with absolute floor at mid-WR range and potential for elite production.PositiveUsageJun 9, 2026

Zay Flowers has significant upside if he starts getting red zone usage, making him a player to watch this season.
