The source selects Zay Flowers in the fourth round, highlighting his elite tier status and the high target volume expected in his role.NegativeInjuryAug 27, 2026

The source expresses concern regarding Zay Flowers missing multiple consecutive practices without a disclosed reason, noting that while working on the side is better than being absent, the lack of information is worrying.PositiveBreakoutAug 20, 2026
Zay Flowers is a high-upside target who maintained a 28% target share last year; he is one of only two players outside the top 12 wide receivers with a 27%+ target share, and he is expected to see positive touchdown regression in a high-powered Ravens offense.NegativeProjectionAug 7, 2026
Zay Flowers is evaluated as part of the top 20 wide receiver rankings for the upcoming fantasy season.PositiveValueJul 7, 2026
The source is softening a negative stance on Zay Flowers and views him as a strong value in the fifth round. Flowers' target share has increased each of the past three seasons and reached 28% last year—an elite target share. Lamar Jackson had 9% of his attempts as end zone attempts (highest in NFL) and likes Flowers. While Flowers finished as WR7 last year, he is being drafted as a mid-WR2, potentially a WR3 in the fifth round. The source views the offensive coordinator change (Declan Doyle, Ben Johnson protégé) as positive and notes Flowers will clearly be the number one option in the passing game. Red zone concerns exist: only 11 total red zone targets with one touchdown, but the talent and target share trajectory are compelling.PositiveProjectionJun 4, 2026
Zay Flowers is projected to have a fluky touchdown season, potentially increasing his fantasy value.PositiveValueNo date
Flowers was taken at the turn (4.12) because the source anticipated Flowers would not return in later rounds; the source explicitly states 'I know that Zay flowers won't make it back to me. So I'm just going to take him.' This reflects confidence in Flowers' draft capital and scarcity at the position.NegativeBustNo date
Zay Flowers finished as the wide receiver seven last year, but his performance was inconsistent, and he is being drafted too high given his lack of touchdown potential and the presence of other offensive weapons.
