Zay Flowers ADP 37.6 (WR15) in Hero RB pass-catcher targets
Zay Flowers is listed as a pass-catcher target in the Hero RB draft strategy framework, with an ADP of 37.6 (WR15). The source recommends drafting three wide receivers from the provided list between the second and fifth rounds as part of the strategy.
Flowers' top-12 ceiling supported by volume jump and red-zone opportunity.
Flowers has a real top-12 ceiling for the first time in his career. His team averaged the second-fewest pass attempts per game of any team in the last decade last year, and historically, teams that pass that infrequently tend to see a meaningful jump in volume the following season. The bigger opportunity is touchdowns: Flowers has never had more than seven end zone targets in a season, but a new offensive coordinator could finally get him more involved near the goal line, especially given how poor this offense was in the red zone last year. Site projections have him around 81 catches, nearly 1,200 yards, and 6.5 touchdowns, while one sportsbook's season-long prop line sits lower, around 995 yards and 5.5 touchdowns, numbers that still put him in the same range as several more expensive receivers.
