Zay Flowers' role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in Baltimore's passing game remains unchallenged despite offseason receiving corps changes. Last season she averaged a career-high 14.3 PPR fantasy points per game, and was even more efficient when Lamar Jackson played, averaging 15 fantasy points per game on only 6.9 targets per contest. At ADP 45.5 (WR19), coming off his first career WR1 finish, Flowers should set career highs in every category this season under new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle.PositiveValueJul 17, 2026
The source prefers Zay Flowers over Tetairoa McMillan despite Flowers' later ADP, indicating better value and upside relative to draft capital.PositiveProjectionJul 13, 2026
Flowers is available at ADP 37 and has established himself as the clear alpha WR in Baltimore. Despite Lamar Jackson missing time and playing through injuries, Flowers increased production for the third consecutive season, posting career highs in targets (118), receptions (86), and yards (1,211)—the second-highest yardage total in the AFC and sixth-most overall. He has two Pro Bowl appearances. The one area lacking is touchdown scoring with only 14 through three seasons, partly a Lamar Jackson issue: Jackson ranked 35th of 36 QBs with 25+ red-zone pass attempts in completion rate. Contributing factors included a 62% pressure rate (9% higher than any other QB), 12.5% sack rate from woeful guard play, and 15.9% drop rate by Ravens pass-catchers (2.6% more than any other QB's receivers). If the Ravens improve interior offensive line play and rookie WRs help keep drives moving, Flowers can ascend to top-12 WR status.PositiveProjectionJul 10, 2026
Jim Moorman planted his flag on Zay Flowers to lead the NFL in receptions in 2026. Flowers finished as the WR4 overall in route participation in 2025 with a 29% target share; he ranked 12th or better at the position in yards per route run, yards per target, and yards per team pass attempt. With DeAndre Hopkins and Isaiah Likely gone, passing volume should consolidate further in Flowers' favor. Valued as WR18 in ECR, Flowers should smash his ADP if he posts a league-average touchdown rate.PositiveProjectionJul 6, 2026
Dark horse pick for receptions leader; posted 29.1% target share (WR11) and 99.1% route participation rate (WR4) in 2025, meaning he's on field for every snap and commanding massive offensive share. Baltimore picked up fifth-year option and working toward long-term extension, giving Flowers incentive for monster season. DeAndre Hopkins, Isaiah Likely, and Charlie Kolar departures leave nearly 60 receptions up for grabs; Mark Andrews heading into age-31 season. Lamar Jackson's unquestioned No. 1 WR should get peppered with targets regardless of new draft picks (Ja'Kobi Lane, Elijah Sarratt).
