Zay Flowers Week 8 Outlook - Ravens at Browns

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 24th 2024, 1:05pm EDT

After a down Week 7, Flowers is the WR29 in fantasy points per game. Overall, he has racked up high volume in spurts, ranking 12th in receptions and 16th in receiving yards. He's the WR17 in expected fantasy points per game, but his one touchdown for the season has hurt his fantasy output. He only has three deep targets and four red zone looks (no red zone targets since Week 2), so the high-leverage usage has also been a problem. Overall, Flowers has soaked up a 24.1% target share and a 29.3% first-read share, producing 2.05 YPRR. Cleveland has the highest single high rate in the NFL (71.2%). Against single high, Flowers has seen his numbers soar with a 30.6% target share, 3.05 YPRR, and a 33.3% first-read share. Cleveland has become a matchup that shouldn't strike fear in your heart, ranking 15th in PPR points per target allowed to perimeter wide receivers.
