Jackson (IR) and Huntley (turf toe) out; Flowers held to zero catches with rookie QB.
Flowers' league-winning upside has been severely compromised by quarterback injuries. Lamar Jackson returned from a three-game absence but injured his thumb on the first play of the game and did not return. Backup Tyler Huntley left with turf toe and also didn't return, leaving Baltimore with undrafted rookie Joe Fagnano under center. Flowers ended the day with zero catches against a team allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. Jackson has been placed on injured reserve and could miss the rest of the season; Huntley could miss the next few weeks. The Ravens play the Jaguars on Thursday and will likely trade for a veteran quarterback, but the source notes Flowers' league-winning upside appears to be gone and should be lowered in rest-of-season rankings.

Flowers' ceiling crushed by Lamar Jackson injury; floor remains high but upside gone.
Flowers' ceiling has been significantly diminished following Lamar Jackson's near-instant ruleout and injured reserve placement; while her floor remains high assuming Tyler Huntley isn't out long-term, the high-ceiling fantasy production Flowers was generating after Week 1 is now gone. The Ravens will operate as a run-first team and are no longer fantasy difference-makers barring extreme touchdown variance.

Flowers' ceiling crushed by Lamar Jackson injury; Ravens shift to run-first offense.
Flowers' fantasy ceiling has been dramatically reduced following Lamar Jackson's near-instant ruleout and injured reserve placement. While her floor remains high assuming Tyler Huntley isn't out long-term, the ceilings that existed after Week 1's dominant performance against the Colts are gone. The Ravens are now a run-first team and will generate only decent volume in good matchups, essentially ending their season as fantasy difference-makers barring extreme touchdown variance.

Flowers was essentially crossed off the fantasy board when Jackson and then Tyler Huntley got hurt for the Ravens in Week 8. She drew five targets at Buffalo but they all fell incomplete, leaving her with zero points and severely diminished fantasy value without a reliable quarterback.
