From the article

Flowers quietly cracked 1,200 yards last year, but only finished with nine or more targets five times in 17 games and needed a big finish to erase the part where he had one touchdown through the first 14 weeks of the year. Some of his value is probably underrepresented because of four games with backup quarterbacks, and there's probably extra upside here in the form of some disastrous Baltimore runouts leaving them without other real targets to throw to. I still have a hard time elevating the WR1 on a team that wants to run the ball a lot and play defense as more than a mid-tier WR2 for fantasy purposes.

Flowers quietly cracked 1,200 yards last year but only finished with nine or more targets five times in 17 games and needed a big finish to erase having just one touchdown through the first 14 weeks. The analyst has a hard time elevating the WR1 on a run-heavy team to more than a mid-tier WR2 for fantasy purposes, though his ceiling could be a WR1 if the Bears' offensive coordinator Doyle proves competent.
