Zay Flowers

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Baltimore Ravens
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Flowers was the third of four consecutive WRs drafted in the first round this April, going one pick ahead of Jordan Addison and right after Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Quentin Johnston. The Boston College product had a prolific college career in subpar-to-mediocre offenses, with a 78-1,077-12 receiving line his senior season giving him totals of 3,056 yards and 29 TDs in four years. Flowers then showed reasonably well at the 2023 combine with a 4.42 40, 127-inch broad jump and 35.5-inch vertical, at 5-9, 182. The downside, apart from his size, is that he turns 23 in September and never topped 9.0 YPT or a 60 percent catch rate in any of his seasons at BC. Flowers also appears to have sturdy target competition in Baltimore, where Rashod Bateman is coming back from a foot injury, Odell Beckham signed an $18 million contract and TE Mark Andrews remains a threat to lead the team in receiving. The Ravens did (finally) manage to re-sign Lamar Jackson, and their offense will almost certainly lean more toward the pass under new OC Todd Monken. Still, there's major potential for a slow rookie season, especially if Flowers is mostly restricted to the slot in an offense that has a quality fullback (Pat Ricard) and second TE (Isaiah Likely), thereby reducing the chances of heavy three-wide usage.

Makes downfield grab in win
WRBaltimore Ravens
September 19, 2023
Flowers caught four of five targets for 62 yards and added a six-yard carry in the Week 2 win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The rookie continues to impress early in his career. Flowers' big highlight Sunday came on an impressive 52-yard reception between Bengals defenders, showing a downfield element that was not explored as much in the season opener. Baltimore spread the ball around more in Week 2 as Mark Andrews returned to the fold, so Flowers' target volume was cut in half. Still, Flowers was efficient with his opportunities and is off to a strong start overall. Baltimore hosts Indianapolis in Week 3.
