Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers is expected to play in Sunday’s matchup, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Flowers entered the weekend listed as questionable with a hamstring injury and was limited in practice throughout the week.

What happened

Flowers is dealing with a hamstring issue that limited him during practice. Despite the questionable designation, a source told Rapoport that Flowers is expected to be on the field.

The 26-year-old receiver has been a key part of the Ravens’ passing attack early this season. Through two games played, he has recorded 10 receptions on 12 targets for 234 yards and a touchdown.

Context

Flowers has been operating as the team’s primary slot receiver, holding the top spot on the depth chart at that position. His recent performances have been strong, including a 5-catch, 84-yard showing in Week 3 and a 150-yard game with a touchdown in Week 1.

Notably, Flowers has seen a relatively modest snap share in the early season, playing 29% of snaps in Week 1 and 33% in Week 3. The Ravens have been managing his workload, possibly related to health management.

What’s next

The Ravens are set to play today, and Flowers’ official active status will be confirmed when the team releases its inactive list roughly 90 minutes before kickoff. Fantasy managers should monitor final updates but can tentatively expect Flowers to suit up.

🏈 Fantasy impact

With the news that Zay Flowers is expected to play, fantasy managers can likely start him in their lineups, especially since he has produced at a high level when active. However, there is some risk that his hamstring issue or the Ravens’ snap management limits his usage. If you have a safer, high-volume alternative, you may consider it, but Flowers’ big-play upside keeps him in lineups for most teams. His presence also boosts quarterback Lamar Jackson and maintains the target distribution that has benefited the Ravens’ passing game. Anyone who picked up a potential replacement can hold them until official inactives confirm Flowers’ status, but all signs point to him playing.
