Mark Andrews

PositiveRole0:17

Mark Andrews fell off last year and could fall off again as an older player. His potential continued decline would change the Flowers bet because Andrews' red zone target share directly affects Flowers' opportunity in that area. Flowers has struggled to score touchdowns historically, so if Andrews continues to decline and Flowers gains red zone targets, it could elevate Flowers to high-end WR status.

Zay Flowers

PositiveValue0:00

The source regrets not taking Flowers more aggressively when he was going in the fourth round and has since reduced allocation from 14% to 12%, indicating ADP has risen and the buy window is closing. The source views him as a good number-one receiver or super high-end number-two receiver with versatility (slot, out wide, intermediate routes, underneath, deep routes), though undersized and not superstar-level. New offensive coordinator and head coach could unlock red zone targets he lacked previously—a key area where Mark Andrews' potential continued decline could create additional opportunity—which would elevate Flowers to high-end WR status in fantasy. The source reads the recent confirmation of upside as validation that moving him up into the mid-third round was a good idea and that he's fairly priced there currently.

0:01he's someone that I've wished I took
0:04more of early when he was cheaper. I'm
0:06still I'm at 12% Flowers, but it's like
0:10I was at 14% and I've dropped so I'm
0:13just not taking him as much anymore. So
0:15I'm still drafting some of them, but I'm
0:17not getting like big big bags.
0:20And
0:21I regret not taking him more
0:23aggressively when he was going in the
0:25fourth round because what we've been
0:27getting on him is not surprising to me.
0:31Like we're they're like, "Hey, he can
0:33play in the slot. He can play out wide.
0:35He can run intermediate routes. You can
0:37get him the ball underneath. He can get
0:39open deep. Like he's an all-around type
0:41of receiver. He's a little undersized.
0:44Maybe he's not like a superstar level,
0:46but this is a good number one receiver
0:49and would be like a super super high-end
0:51number two receiver if you're fortunate
0:53enough to be in that situation. Um and
0:56it's a new offensive coordinator
0:59new head coach and they might have
1:01different ideas for the for the ways to
1:04use Zay Flowers than the the previous
1:05guys.
1:07Those ideas could even include red zone
1:10targets which he did not get in the
1:13under the previous and then of course
1:14likely being gone could could help.
1:17There Andrews fell off a bit last year.
1:20He could fall off again. He's an older
1:22player. Like this could this could
1:23change up the Flowers bet a little bit
1:26where he's been a guy that has struggled
1:28to score touchdowns.
1:30If he scores touchdowns, he will be a
1:33high-end wide receiver in fantasy. And I
1:36think the market is
1:38kind of baked that in correctly and this
1:41is
1:42the way I read this is basically just
1:43confirmation that moving him up into
1:46that mid-third
1:48was a good idea.
1:51And he's a and he's like pretty fairly
1:52priced there.
1:54I don't know. If he moves up on this,
1:56that's probably like double counting
1:59the upside that this new situation
2:00gives, but it's still nice to hear.
