Zay Flowers Week 11 Outlook - Ravens at Steelers

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Nov 14th 2024, 1:05pm EST

Flowers was on a ridiculous heater that had to cool off at some time. Last week, he had a down game, but prior to Week 10, he had at least 111 receiving yards in four of his last five games. Flowers is still the WR19 in fantasy points per game, ranking 13th in deep targets among wide receivers. He has only two red zone targets in his last eight games. Flowers has a 24.9% target share, 2.40 YPRR, and a 29.8% first-read share. The Steelers have the highest single high rate in the NFL (71%). Flowers has destroyed single high with a 30.3% target share, 3.36 YPRR, and a 32% first-read share. Flowers will be tested this week as he might get shadow coverage from Joey Porter Jr.. Porter Jr. has shadowed on at least 65.2% of routes five times this season, holding the receiver in his primary coverage below 50 receiving yards four times. Baltimore moved Flowers to the slot for 53% of his routes against Denver so he could avoid Patrick Surtain. Don't rule out Baltimore taking the same approach this week. Pittsburgh has allowed the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers overall, but since Week 5, they have given up the 11th-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers.
