Flowers is producing 0.67 fantasy points per route run and is targeted on 28.9% of his routes. He is also running routes on 85.8% of dropbacks. Last week, Flowers caught eight of his 11 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. This week, Flowers faces Dee Alford. According to the FantasyPoints Data Suite, Alford allows 0.32 fantasy points per route run and is targeted on 17.9% of routes run against him. With Lamar Jackson expected to return this week, the Baltimore Ravens should be able to move the ball more effectively. With this game carrying one of Week 8's highest projected totals, fantasy managers should feel confident starting Flowers. He is a must-start option this week with significant WR1 upside.
