Zay Flowers was already leading the Ravens in targets this season, and now could be in for a bigger role with with their second leading pass catcher, Mark Andrews, likely out for the season.
A big factor in the performance of any receiver is the game script, and the Ravens, boasting one of the best defenses in the league, have often had running scripts, resulting in the lowest passing percentage in the league (48.7%).
However, could the Ravens be potentially facing stronger opponents rest of season, and therefore have more passing scripts?
Their schedule is now Chargers, Rams, Jacksonville, San Francisco, and Miami. All teams fully capable of giving the Ravens trouble, and not letting them run over them into a running script.
Over the rest of the season, Zay is facing defenses that on average have ranked 22nd in fantasy points allowed for WRs. To put it short, he has a fantastic schedule.
A fantastic schedule, an increased role, and a few disappointing recent games, means that Zay Flowers is a screaming buy for those of you who can still trade.
I drafted him in non PPR. Please, just take him. Please. I won’t miss the 4pts on my bench every week.
