Zay Flowers was added to Thursday’s injury report as a limited participant with a toe injury, according to RotoWire. He has 26 receptions for 405 yards and two touchdowns in four games this season.

What happened

Flowers was listed as limited at practice on Thursday due to the toe issue. The Ravens also added outside linebacker Mike Green (hamstring) as limited, while receiver Rashod Bateman (shoulder), guard John Simpson (groin), and defensive tackle Broderick Washington (ankle) were downgraded from limited to did not practice.

Context

Flowers has 81.8 PPR points through Week 5, with 31 targets, 26 receptions, 405 receiving yards, and two receiving touchdowns. He is coming off a Week 5 performance of 14.6 PPR points with eight receptions for 53 yards on nine targets. The week before, he had 25.8 PPR points with eight catches for 118 yards and a touchdown.

On the depth chart, Flowers is listed as the Ravens’ SWR1. The next receivers behind him are Rashod Bateman (LWR2), Devontez Walker (RWR3), Chris Moore, and Elijah Sarratt. Bateman has 45.3 PPR points this season and is also dealing with a shoulder injury, while Walker has 17.5 PPR points.

Timeline

On October 8, it was reported that Flowers was limited in practice ahead of Week 5 due to a foot injury. Earlier, on October 4, it was reported that Flowers was expected to play in Week 4 despite a hamstring injury and a questionable tag.

What’s next

The Ravens play the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, October 18 in Week 6. Flowers has a Sleeper projection of 17.2 PPR points for that game.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Flowers’ ceiling is high when healthy, but a mid-week addition to the injury report with a toe issue is a concern. He was limited on Thursday, and managers should monitor Friday’s practice report. If Flowers is active, he remains a WR2 with upside given his 31 targets through four games. If he sits, Rashod Bateman would be the next man up on the depth chart, but Bateman is also dealing with a shoulder injury and was downgraded to DNP on Thursday. Devontez Walker and Chris Moore would be the next options. Consider adding Bateman only in deep leagues if he practices fully by Friday; otherwise, avoid this receiving corps if both Flowers and Bateman are out.
