Zay Flowers Set to Shine in New Offensive Scheme

Zay Flowers, wide receiver for the Baltimore Ravens, is poised for a breakout season. Despite the change in offensive coordinator, with Declan Doyle taking over from Todd Monken, Flowers remains one of the most promising talents in the NFL. His past season stats speak volumes—86 receptions, 1,200 yards, and 5 touchdowns—underscoring his potential.

Lamar Jackson, the Ravens' star quarterback, has consistently connected with Flowers, especially when healthy. Last season, Flowers averaged over 15 points per game in full PPR formats during the games Lamar played. This scoring was despite the team's overall struggles, particularly in the red zone where they ranked 27th. However, Flowers' performance in the closing games of the 2025 season hinted at his untapped potential, with 5 touchdowns in just the last 4 games.

In fantasy terms, Flowers is highly valued for his consistency and ability to outperform expectations. Even if he repeats last year’s performance with only 5 touchdowns, his yardage and reception totals would still position him among the top receivers. Furthermore, his target share last year was the fifth highest in the NFL, making him a central figure in the Ravens' offensive strategy.

Moreover, with a less experienced receiving group consisting of Mark Andrews, whose performance has been declining, and Rashad Bateman, who has struggled with injuries, Flowers has the opportunity to become the main focus of the Ravens' passing attack. Analogous to Antonio Brown's fourth NFL season—a player to whom Flowers has been compared—this could be the year he becomes a dominant force in fantasy football, propelled by both talent and opportunity.
