Flowers is listed questionable.
Outlook
The one cap is the end zone. Just 11 red zone targets and 5 end zone looks held him to five scores, and he's never topped that mark. That keeps the ceiling tethered to Baltimore's run-leaning script and Lamar Jackson's touchdown rate. Behind him on the depth chart: Lajohntay Wester. Full outlook

Our Take After Week 4
Through 2 games he's WR21 at 20.7 PPR points per game, against 14.3 over 17 games last season (WR7). He's running ahead of last season's pace.
Last season he ranked 5th of 142 in target volume (29.0% target share), 8th of 142 in downfield role (35.2% air-yards share) and 5th of 142 in efficiency (2.75 yards per route run). His points come from his target volume. Lamar Jackson is his quarterback.
The job is secure: he's the listed starter and one of the best at his position. The main risk is health, and Lajohntay Wester is next on the depth chart if he misses time.
The next favorable matchup is the Falcons in Week 5 (3rd against WRs).
Read our preseason outlook (June 2026)
Published June 16, 2026. Kept for reference; the take above replaces it.
Flowers graded out as our WR6 in 2025, and the workload backs it up: a 29% target share, a 0.681 WOPR, and 118 looks across all 17 games. He converted that into 86 grabs for 1,211 yards on a 72.9% catch rate, while his 2.75 yards per route run and 0.401 EPA per play put him among the most efficient receivers in football. His 57.6% success rate confirms this wasn't volume noise.
The one cap is the end zone. Just 11 red zone targets and 5 end zone looks held him to five scores, and he's never topped that mark. That keeps the ceiling tethered to Baltimore's run-leaning script and Lamar Jackson's touchdown rate. But the route volume, the air-yards share north of 35%, and a third straight rising target tree make him a steady early-round WR2 with genuine WR1 weeks baked in.
What Drives His Outlook
His 2025 rank among the 142 receivers who played at least six games. Each bar is one receiver, best on the left; his is highlighted.

Zay Flowers Fantasy Outlook FAQ
What is Zay Flowers's fantasy outlook for the rest of the 2026 season?

Every logged injury, most recent first. Games missed are regular-season games.
- 2024
Knee Sprain 2 games
Suffered a knee sprain in the regular-season finale against the Cleveland Browns, which forced him to miss both of the Ravens' playoff games.
- 2023
Calf Played through
Appeared on the injury report with a calf issue late in the season but did not miss any games.
- 2023
Hip Played through
Was listed on the injury report with a hip injury in late December but played through it.
If Flowers Misses Time
Next man up: Lajohntay Wester
Lajohntay Wester is next on the Ravens depth chart at wide receiver. The targets would likely spread across the offense rather than pass to one player, so he's a waiver add only if Flowers misses time.
Who else it affects
His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and Lamar Jackson would lose one of his main options.
