From the episode

It goes from 18.0 to 8.2... The explosive play rate overall on the offense, it went from 54.5% in week one to 17.2% in week two... There's not. They have LeJonte Wester who can sort of give you that same skill set. But that's what I'm saying. There's nobody to get those targets.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Ravens offense collapses without him; no viable replacement in depth chart.

Ravens offense is dramatically different with and without him; on-off splits show yards per attempt drops from 18.0 to 8.2, success rate falls from 63.6% to 55.2%, and explosive play rate plummets from 54.5% to 17.2% when he's out. The source emphasizes the Ravens lack a true replacement with his skill set—LeJonte Wester is the closest option but cannot replicate Flowers' impact. Without him, the offense pivots to Mark Andrews and Rashad Bateman, but this fundamentally changes the scheme and reduces explosiveness. The source notes this is worth monitoring throughout the season as a potential vulnerability.
