Flowers was a fade last year due to Ravens' run-heavy scheme and Lamar's absence.

Zay FlowersWR

Zachariason was a fade on Zay Flowers last year because the Ravens were run-heavy with Lamar Jackson sidelined and ineffective upon return; Flowers finished as WR12 but benefited from a strong final game that boosted end-of-season numbers, masking a relatively flat year-to-year performance compared to elite receivers. The wide receiver position was extremely top-heavy last year with only 8-10 truly elite options, making Flowers' finish less impressive than the ranking suggests.

Source transcript excerpt
I wasn't as in on Zay last year. He was more of a fade for me. He didn't have that great of a year... because the Ravens, you know, lose Lamar. Lamar wasn't that even that great when he came back and they were a run heavy offense.
