Spin: Flowers led the Ravens in catches and targets from backup QB Tyler Huntley while finishing nine receiving yards short of Rashod Bateman's team-leading total as the Ravens escaped with a road win Sunday night despite the absence of starting QB Lamar Jackson (ankle). Jackson reportedly has a chance to return as soon as Week 6 in Cleveland, but Flowers showed he can still be reasonably productive with Huntley throwing him passes. Flowers also took a two-yard sack on a trick play and had a would-be 26-yard catch negated on Baltimore's final drive of regulation because the Ravens instead accepted a 29-yard pass interference penalty which he drew. The speedy wideout sat out Week 2 due to a hamstring injury and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday's OT win due to a foot injury, but he should be expected to continue suiting up barring a setback.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Flowers' emergence into a star continued in 2025, as the 2023 first-round pick posted career-best marks in target share (29%), targets (118), catches (86) and yardage (1,211). Despite still lacking a role near the goal line (he has never cleared seven end zone targets or six touchdowns in a single season), Flowers finished seventh among receivers in fantasy points (13th PPG), which marks his first finish better than 25th (31st PPG). A highly targeted, short-range RAC specialist, Flowers' ceiling is lower than other top receivers, but the 25-year-old remains positioned as Lamar Jackson's top target in Baltimore's new-look offense. Flowers makes for a solid fantasy WR2.
