Flowers' WR7 finish was Ravens' only top-24 WR in 10 years.
Flowers finished as WR7 last season, representing the Ravens' only top-24 wide receiver finish above WR23 in the last 10 years. The source uses Flowers' strong finish as evidence of the Ravens' historically limited fantasy wide receiver production, noting 'Over the last 10 years, the Ravens have only had four seasons with a wide receiver inside the top 24. Of those seasons, they had just one finish above WR23. That was last season, when Zay Flowers was the WR7.' This suggests Flowers' WR7 finish was an outlier in the Ravens' receiving production history.

The source projects him as a strong WR2 with WR1 upside again this year, with potential upside from new offensive coordinator Declan Doyle despite historical touchdown limitations (never more than five receiving touchdowns in any season, only 11 red zone targets last year).
