Zay Flowers Week 3 Outlook - Ravens at Cowboys

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Sep 19th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

Flowers is the WR16 in fantasy points per game, leading Baltimore with a 26.7% target share, a 29.8% air-yard share, and a 33.3% first-read share. He has produced 1.56 YPRR while ranking 77th in separation and 78th in route win rate (among 92 qualifying receivers). Flowers saw his aDOT increase from Week 1 to last week, jumping from 6.1 to 10.7. Flowers is tied for the team lead with two end-zone targets. His startling inefficiency per route is worrisome, but it's only been two games, so I'm preaching patience. Dallas has utilized Cover 3 or Cover 4 on 52.7% of their defensive snaps this season. Last year, Flowers led the team with a 22.9% target share against these coverages while posting 2.08 YPRR. Flowers will run about 68% of his routes against Trevon Diggs (70% catch rate and 46.7 passer rating) and Caelen Carson (63.6% catch rate and 115.7 passer rating).
