Zay Flowers has run a route on 92.8% of his offense’s passing plays this year, placing him in the 91st percentile when it comes to wideouts.
The leading projections forecast Zay Flowers to accrue 7.6 targets in this contest, on balance, putting him in the 82nd percentile among wide receivers.
With a stellar 57.0 adjusted yards per game through the air (77th percentile) this year, Zay Flowers stands as one of the leading wide receivers in the game in the league.
