Zay Flowers Fantasy Stats

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for Sunday's Week 3 game against the Dallas Cowboys. Flowers missed Week 2 and did not practice Wednesday or Thursday before getting in a limited session Friday. The bigger question now is how much Baltimore will actually use him. Ian Rapoport reported earlier Sunday that Flowers could be limited to somewhere around 20 to 30 snaps. He only played 20 snaps before leaving the season opener, but still caught five of six targets for 150 yards and a touchdown. That kind of production shows the upside is still there even on a smaller workload. The hamstring and expected snap count add plenty of risk, though, so fantasy managers starting Flowers are doing so without any guarantee that he sees his usual role.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) could be on a pretty tight snap count if he plays Sunday against Dallas. NFL Network reports Flowers may be limited to around 20 to 30 snaps, which would obviously be well below his normal workload. He missed last week's game against New Orleans and only got back on the practice field Friday in a limited fashion after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday. The interesting part here is what Flowers already did on a small number of snaps in Week 1. He caught five of six targets for 150 yards and a touchdown while playing just 20 offensive snaps before leaving with the hamstring issue. Rashod Bateman handled more work with Flowers out last week and turned nine targets into seven catches, 88 yards, and a score. Flowers would still carry plenty of upside if Baltimore clears him, but fantasy managers would also be taking on some obvious risk if the Ravens stick close to that reported 20-to-30-snap range.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is out on the field in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, putting his hamstring to the test to see if he can play in Week 3 on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Flowers is said to be looking good on the field as the Ravens mull their decision, but nothing is official as to whether he will be active. After doing his final sprint before walking off the field, Flowers gave a thumbs-up to the trainers, and the trainers cheered. It is looking good for Flowers' availability in Week 3, but fantasy managers will want to double-check Baltimore's inactives in a few hours just to make sure. The 26-year-old caught five of his six targets for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts before suffering a hamstring injury that kept him from playing in the Week 2 loss to the New Orleans Saints. If Flowers is officially active on Sunday, fantasy managers need to lock him into their starting lineups as quarterback Lamar Jackson's go-to option in the passing game.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is a game-time decision for Week 3 and will participate in a pregame workout to determine if he's able to play, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. Schefter noted that "the team doesn't sound as if it is counting on him playing." Flowers has been sidelined ever since injuring his hamstring during the middle of an explosive Week 1 performance in which he caught five passes for 150 yards and one touchdown. Rashod Bateman stepped in as Lamar Jackson's No. 1 receiver last week, and it sounds like there's a very real chance he might have an expanded role again in Week 3. If Flowers does manage to suit up, there's a chance his role could be limited, but he'd still be worth starting as a high-end WR2 with WR1 upside.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) will "likely be on a pitch count" if he gets cleared to play in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, per ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Flowers suffered a hamstring injury in Week 1 that sidelined him in Week 2, and he's officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday. Per Fowler, the star wideout is expected to test out his hamstring pregame before the Ravens make a final call on his status against the Cowboys. When healthy, Flowers profiles as a clear must-start wide receiver for fantasy managers, especially in a favorable matchup against Dallas. His production could suffer if he's unable to play his normal snap share, and fantasy managers may have to decide whether or not to start Flowers before knowing his status. Still, Flowers' high-end production upside could be worth the risk.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) looks to return to the lineup against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. He was a non-participant in Wednesday's and Thursday's practices, but managed to eke out a limited practice on Friday. He carries his questionable tag into the weekend and looks to be a game-time decision Sunday afternoon. The Cowboys' pass defense gave up a top-ten wide receiver finish to Washington Commanders wideout Stefon Diggs in Week 2, and their +0.28 passing EPA per play is the third-highest in the NFL. Moreover, the Cowboys' third-worst 2.6% sack rate and bottom-third quarterback pressure rate should give Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson more time to connect with Flowers downfield. The Week 3 Ravens-Cowboys matchup has the highest over/under of the week at 52.5, and Flowers' explosive playmaking ability would put him in a prime position to put up WR1 fantasy numbers. Admittedly, managers are likely concerned about the risk of reaggravating his hamstring injury, which is heightened given allegations of poor field conditions at Maracan Stadium, but if Flowers is active, he is a locked-in starter as a WR2.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable to play in his team's Week 3 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, per Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Flowers was able to log a limited practice on Friday after missing practice entirely on both Wednesday and Thursday. Still, the 26-year-old's availability against the Cowboys remains a major question mark. Flowers got off to an exciting start to the year, recording five catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in less than 30 minutes' worth of game action in Week 1 before suffering a hamstring injury that kept him out for Week 2. With Flowers sidelined last week, wide receiver Rashod Bateman and tight end Mark Andrews were the only Baltimore pass-catchers to record more than three targets.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) was seen working out during Friday's practice, according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Flowers suffered a hamstring injury in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts, but not before he had five catches for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown. However, the 26-year-old's hamstring injury was serious enough to keep him from playing in the Week 2 upset loss to the New Orleans Saints. After two missed practices this week, Flowers' return to the practice field on Friday will at least give him a chance to potentially suit up for a Week 3 tilt against the Dallas Cowboys in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Fantasy managers will want to check back for Flowers' official status for Week 3, but he will most likely be questionable and could be a game-time decision, which will make him even more volatile in fantasy football. Veteran Rashod Bateman took on a bigger role in the passing attack last week with Flowers sidelined and would become a more attractive flex play again on Sunday if Flowers is not given the green light. Flowers is a must-start when he is active as the WR1 in Baltimore.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) missed the team's Week 2 loss to the Saints, and his Week 3 availability is trending in the wrong direction after he missed his second straight practice on Thursday. Flowers was knocked out of the season-opener with a hamstring injury after recording a career-high 150 receiving yards in just one half of play. Despite running only 11 routes this season, he still sits as the fantasy WR18 through two weeks, and while it's looking unlikely that he'll be available for the team's Week 3 tilt with the Cowboys, to be played in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Flowers has proven to be a must-start player whenever he is again made available.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (hamstring) has a minor hamstring injury but did not practice on Wednesday, and "that does not bode well for his participation on Sunday, but we'll continue to track it," according to NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport. Rapoport hinted that Baltimore is taking more of a long-term approach to the injury. "They want to keep him around long term and want to make sure he is available throughout the season," Rapoport said. Flowers is a star receiver who looks like he is ready for a breakout season if he can stay healthy. He had a very impressive Week 1 against the Indianapolis Colts before he left with the hamstring injury. He had already recorded five catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half of that game. Look for big things once he regains full health.
