News: 1 day agoFlowers brought in seven of 11 targets for 75 yards in the Ravens' 41-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.

Spin: Flowers once again filled the role of a true No. 1 receiver, leading the way in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Ravens. While he matched his Week 1 catch total, Flowers didn't come close to approximating his 143-yard tally and didn't get into the end zone. However, Baltimore naturally wasn't pressed to be anywhere near as aggressive through the air as in that season-opening game, and the Flowers-Lamar Jackson connection appears to be in prime form going into a Week 3 home showdown against the Lions on Monday night, Sept. 22.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Flowers is back for his third NFL season after posting very similar numbers in each of his first two campaigns. He was utilized downfield more in 2024 than he was as a rookie, which boosted his yardage total, but he saw a dip in catches and TDs. He's finished outside the top 20 receivers in receptions, TDs and fantasy points in both seasons and simply didn't have enough quality fantasy outings last season, as he scored 18-plus points five times (all prior to Week 10) and fewer than 12 points in 11 games. The 24-year-old is the No. 1 receiver in Baltimore's elite offense, but the scheme simply limits his fantasy ceiling. He's best valued as a good WR3.
