Zay Flowers

PositiveMatchup0:00

Zay Flowers faces an optimal setup vs Buffalo: Lamar Jackson and Flowers have played only 445 pass routes together all year (averaging 7.8 yards per route run), but Flowers has 608 receiving yards (fifth in NFL) on just 163 routes—108 more yards than any other 500-yard receiver despite running 37+ fewer routes. He's been targeted on 48.5% of his slot routes for 9 yards per route run with Lamar Jackson. The Bills allow 10 yards per target to slot receivers with an 8% touchdown rate. Flowers has three 100-yard games in the first half this year. The source frames this as 'lift-off' and 'the optimal setup for Zay Flowers to just go absolutely bonkers' given the matchup environment.

0:00Oh, yeah. This game This game has it
0:02all, man, right? Like this
0:04We have one team as the wagon, but as a
0:05game, like this is
0:07>> Yeah.
0:08>> This is all set up, like I mean, we'll
0:10talk about the like cuz you know, the
0:11Bills like the best part about the Bills
0:13this year from like our
0:15neck of the woods is like their defense
0:17is bad, too.
0:18>> stinks.
0:19>> And but I have been like just waiting.
0:21We talked about it last week like this
0:23Lamar and Zay Flowers have not played a
0:25full game together.
0:27And like the underlying metrics here are
0:28like so sensational. I mean, one, Lamar
0:31Jackson has been hyper-efficient again
0:33as a passer when he's played. I mean,
0:35he's 71% completion rate, 10 yards per
0:38pass, 14 yards per completion. He has
0:40over a 6% touchdown rate.
0:42But we've only seen Zay Flowers and him
0:45play a little sprinkling of snaps
0:46together. I mean, it's literally four 45
0:49pass routes all year, and the dude
0:51averages 7.8 yards per route run on
0:54those.
0:55He has three 100-yard games in the first
0:58half this year. He has
0:59He has three games with 100 receiving in
1:02the first half. I had this I had a
1:04couple notes in here with the worksheet
1:05that I just like he he has 608 receiving
1:07yards, that's fifth in the NFL. He's
1:09only around 163 routes. Every other guy
1:12that has over 500 routes, and he's a or
1:14500 yards,
1:15uh he has 100 more than that. So, it's
1:17like not even like I'm doing the old
1:18like fantasy douche thing like
1:20this guy pulled up this thing and he has
1:22like one more yard than the cut off,
1:23right?
1:24He's He's 108 more than that. Every
1:26Every other player in the NFL with 500
1:28yards has run over 200 pass routes this
1:30year.
1:31Um
1:33he is moving around more. He's been
1:35targeted on 48.5% of his slot routes for
1:389 yards per route run with Lamar
1:39Jackson. And that in the Bills, 10 yards
1:42per target to slot receivers, 8%
1:44touchdown rate. Like this is this is
1:47what we finally have lift-off, right?
1:49Like this is it. And in this game
1:50environment, like we were so excited
1:52last week cuz like we'll get Lamar back
1:54versus the Bengals who are also an
1:56interior funnel. And it's like now we
1:58get him against Josh Allen. It's like we
2:00have a we still have the optimal setup
2:02for Zay Flowers to just go absolutely
2:04bonkers.
