Week 8 high-profile WR/CB matchups (shoutout @​FantasyPtsData ): Not expecting a shadow matchup based on this season's cornerback deployment: -DK Metcalf vs. Denzel Ward -Parker Washington vs. Sauce Gardner (if active) -Michael Wilson vs. Joey Porter Jr. (but this is Porter's first matchup with a CLEAR No. 1 outside WR) -Stefon Diggs vs. Quinyon Mitchell (but Mitchell did move around more last week + has shadowed Terry in past seasons) -Either Colts WR vs. Travis Hunter -Either Chiefs WR vs....

Flowers shreds the Bills' defense in Week 8 with a 25% target share across all six games this season, an elite mark. The Ravens know Flowers is their best offensive option, whether Lamar Jackson or Tyler Huntley is playing. Coming off his third 20+ PPR performance last week, Flowers will add his fourth this week against the Bills' dreadful defense, which allows a staggering 43.3 PPR points per game to wide receivers (32nd in the NFL). Flowers will torch them for 100+ yards and a touchdown.

I honestly think this is one of the coolest charts I've made so far! Route Win Rate vs. TPRR in the Red Zone (per @​FantasyPtsData) I've added each player's Touchdowns, Catchable Targets, and Total Targets in the Red Zone as well We can use this to identify some positive regression candidates: 1. Michael Wilson 11 red zone and 8 end zone targets this season without a single TD on those end zone targets 2. Rashod Bateman Bateman has one of the best route-win rates in the red zone, but has not...

Flowers is upgraded for Week 8 against the Bills, who allow the largest fantasy boost to WRs (+8.7). Despite Lamar Jackson's ankle injury, Flowers has been productive (17.0 fantasy points per game, 40-608-3 receiving, 53 targets, 11.5 yards per target) and ranks No. 10 in WOPR (68%). The Ravens are priced as if Jackson will play, which would benefit Flowers. He flashed against the Bills last year (24.6 fantasy points, 7-143-1 receiving, 9 targets). The Bills are without SS C.J. Gardner-Johnson (suspension).

Flowers finished with team-highs in routes (38, season-high), targets (11, season-high), receptions (8), yards (137, his fourth-most ever), and his third TD of the season. He racked up a career-high 103 YAC on Sunday, the second-highest mark any WR has had this year, with +63 YAC over expected (career-high and most any player posted in 2026 per Next Gen Stats). He led the target tree at 32.4% (11 targets for the second straight week) and played 57 of 67 snaps (85%). With only 67 snaps together this season, Flowers and Lamar Jackson have combined for 16 catches, 353 yards (5.3 yards per play), and he has done so much damage in limited action that he feels like he is just scratching the surface. He is the second in yards per route run this season.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba posted a 43% target share in Week 7's win over the Chiefs. It's his 8th regular season game with a >40% target share since the start of last season. No other WR has more than 3 in that span (Zay Flowers, Ja'Marr Chase). In order for any other WR to accumulate 8 games with a >40% target share (Davante Adams), you need to start counting from Week 9 the 2021 season. It took JSN 24 games to amass 8 games with a >40% target share. It took Davante Adams 54 games (2021 W9–2024 W15...

Identified as this year's JSN archetype with elite per-route production despite injury and QB health concerns. Zay Flowers is averaging 20.4 PPG through 7 games with 3 TDs, nearly matching JSN's 21.2 PPG from last year despite Lamar Jackson missing time. The source was told Flowers can't score touchdowns, but he has already scored 3 through 7 games. Flowers has played 80%+ snaps in the last 3 games with 9+ targets in each, including 11 targets in each of the last 2 games. Per-route metrics are elite: WR2 in yards per route, WR4 in targets per route, WR3 in fantasy points per route, WR7 in expected fantasy points per route. He is projected to be on the fringe of a top 6 WR rest of season the moment Lamar Jackson returns healthy, which is the biggest if in the world right now.
