Ranked WR17 in tier 3 for Week 1. Coming off a 200+ yard receiving season with tons of target upside in Ravens passing game; Ian Hartitz projects Flowers could join Lamont McConkey, Jaylen Waddle, and DeVonta Smith as legit borderline wide receiver ones this season. Ravens offense is built around Flowers as the primary receiving option with limited other threats, positioning him as the focal point of the passing game. Hartitz suggests Flowers could have a nice breakout game against the Colts, who are one of the five worst defenses against slot receivers in PPR points per game allowed last season.NegativeValueAug 28, 2026

Named as one of the top wide receiver options available in round three of the draft alongside Tee Higgins and Lamarr Makoni.PositiveValueNo date
Totally underrated WR2–early WR3 range target. Ravens haven't added significant receiver help beyond mid-round rookies Elijah Serat and Jacobe Lane. Flowers performed like a WR1 early last season and projects as a top-15 to top-20 receiver, well within his range despite Rashad Bateman's hype. Part of speaker's preferred mid-tier receiver accumulation strategy in auction/snake drafts.
