A WR that ranked third in yards per route with Jackson last season just simply needs more routes... if Doyle can replicate Johnson's offense and be the creative playcaller he's advertised to be, a WR with Flowers ability and style can blow up in Year 4.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalBreakout

Flowers' breakout potential hinges on Doyle's creative playcalling in a higher-volume Ravens offense.

Flowers had his third-year breakout in 2025, scoring the 11th-most fantasy points when Lamar Jackson was healthy, and a dominant season may come in 2026. New OC Declan Doyle (former Bears OC) replaces Todd Monken and can better utilize Flowers' versatility on play action and motion. In Jackson's injury-riddled 2025, Baltimore had the lowest dropbacks since 2020 (over 100 fewer than 2023, over 200 fewer than 2021). Flowers ranked third in yards per route with Jackson last season and second in play-action passing opportunities. Ben Johnson's 2025 Ravens offense ranked second in the league with 20% play-action pass rate. If Doyle replicates Johnson's creative playcalling, Flowers' ability and style can blow up in Year 4, though the risk of an inexperienced playcaller is notable.
