Zay Flowers's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) is active for Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns. He had been listed as questionable. The young pass-catcher missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday before logging a limited session on Friday, so his availability for Week 8 was far from guaranteed. In the end, though, he'll be able to suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. Flowers has been somewhat inconsistent as a low-floor, high-ceiling receiver this year. While fantasy managers can't be fully confident in his ability to post starter-caliber numbers, he should still be deployed as a top-24 receiver in most leagues. So far this year, he ranks as the overall WR19 in PPR leagues.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) is anticipated to play in Sunday's AFC North showdown with the Cleveland Browns. The wideout earned a questionable tag after missing practice on Wednesday and Thursday. He logged a limited session on Friday, although that didn't add any clarity regarding his availability for Week 8. However, Barring a setback, Lamar Jackson will have his top pass-catcher on the field. Of course, Flowers is a must-start in all fantasy setups. Unfortunately, Flowers' presence could mean fewer targets for Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews, and Isaiah Likely, who would have all been in line for more attention.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's tilt against the Cleveland Browns according to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Flowers was sidelined during practice earlier in the week, but returned in a limited capacity on Friday which is a promising sign for his availability. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout the weekend. The 24-year-old has eclipsed 18.0 PPR points on three occasions this season and averaged 66.8 yards per game through Weeks 1 through 6. If Flowers is able to play, he should be viewed as a solid WR2. If not, Rashod Bateman should operate as the primary wideout, and be viewed as a WR3 with upside.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) returned to practice on Friday according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. This is a great sign for the 24-year-old as he did not participate in any practice sessions earlier in the week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status as he may carry an injury designation into the weekend, depending on his participation level during Friday's practice. If Flowers were to sit out on Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, Rashod Bateman should be expected to operate as the top wideout. He would become a viable WR3 option facing a Cleveland secondary who has allowed the 24th-most PPR points to opposing wideouts this season.

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (ankle) missed a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday after tweaking his ankle in Monday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Flowers injured his ankle in the first half on Monday and quickly came back into the game, but he was barely involved after that, finishing with just one catch on one target for 11 yards while carrying the ball one time for a pickup of 19 yards in the 41-31 victory. The 24-year-old pass-catcher's status for Week 8 against the division-rival Cleveland Browns is now firmly up in the air, and if he doesn't return to practice on Friday, he'll likely be ruled out. Flowers has sandwiched two one-catch performances around back-to-back 100-yard games and has been boom/bust for fantasy managers. If he's unavailable against Cleveland, both Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor will have higher fantasy ceilings.
