Zay Flowers is rising in dynasty value, with analysts preferring him over Garrett Wilson and Nico Collins. There is optimism he could see over 160 targets this year with more design and red-zone usage, potentially positioning him as a top-tier asset by next year.PositiveValueJul 22, 2026
Flowers is being ranked inside the top four rounds in startups as WR20, well ahead of consensus, and is ranked one spot ahead of Lad McConkie in dynasty rankings despite McConkie's higher profile. The source argues Flowers' peripherals are not even remotely close to McConkie's—Flowers has already put on paper what McConkie is hoping to achieve. With identical seasonal cost and only one year age difference, the source finds it difficult to justify a meaningful gap between them, especially given Flowers' proven efficiency and the Ravens' potential for increased passing volume.PositiveBreakoutJul 22, 2026
Flowers is positioned for a breakout in year four/five of his career with Declan Doyle (Ben Johnson's former OC) joining the Ravens and Lamar Jackson as his QB. The source notes Flowers ran 600 routes in his rookie season but hasn't cracked 500 since; with a median expectation of increased routes and a new OC who targets him in the end zone, his peripheral profile screams WR1. His 17% red zone target share over three seasons exceeds Antonio Brown's 12% and Tyler Lockett's 8% at the same career stage, and both those players saw spikes to 24-36% and 28% respectively in years four-six. The source emphasizes Flowers doesn't need size to score touchdowns—finesse and skill matter—and notes he's improved his field-turning ability significantly.PositiveBreakoutJul 22, 2026
The source calls Zay Flowers a 'screaming buy' and argues his breakout flew under the radar in 2024. He had 86 catches for over 1,200 yards on a Ravens team with the lowest or second-lowest pass attempts per game since 2018, posting insane consolidation and per-route efficiency. In his second season (2023), he had 26% target share and 2.35 yards per route run; in 2024, despite Lamar Jackson playing injured stretches and being replaced by Tyler Huntley and Cooper Rush, he posted 2.61 yards per route run and nearly 28% target share. He had the third-highest percentage of his team's receiving yards in the NFL last year. Film charting shows reception perception above 90th percentile against zone coverage and above 70th percentile against man coverage. Even without touchdowns, he averaged 14.5 PPG (including week 18), borderline top-12 among wide receivers. Now valued as WR22-24, he enters year four-five of his career (peak production window) with Lamar Jackson, a new offensive coordinator (Declan Doyle, who worked under Ben Johnson), and uninspiring wide receiver competition (Jacoby Lane, Elijah Surratt).
