Zay Flowers Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Jets vs Ravens game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 16, 2025
Leading receiver on five targets
Flowers had three receptions on five targets for 78 yards while taking one carry for five yards in Sunday's 23-16 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Flowers finished Sunday's contest as the Ravens' leading receiver on a low-volume passing day. The 24-year-old was held out of the end zone for the ninth-straight game since a standout performance back in Week 1 (7-143-1). The good news for the wideout's managers is that he has maintained a high fantasy floor with averages of 5.3 receptions and 62.2 receiving yards over those nine scoreless outings. Flowers should continue providing numbers worthy of starting -- especially in PPR formats -- against the Jets next Sunday.
Nov 9, 2025
Remains consistent
Flowers recorded four receptions on six targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 27-19 win over the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Flowers continued in his typical role, dominating targets and production among the Baltimore pass catchers. He logged long receptions of 27 and 22 yards, his third consecutive game with at least one catch of at least 20 yards. While Flowers is Lamar Jackson's most reliable target, he has not reached 80 receiving yards or found the end zone since Week 1.
Oct 31, 2025
Leads passing attack again Thursday
Flowers secured all five targets for 64 yards in the Ravens' 28-6 win over the Dolphins on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Flowers led the Ravens across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets after also setting the pace in all three categories during Sunday's win over the Bears. Flowers was back to working with Lamar Jackson on Thursday after the latter's three game absence due to a hamstring injury, and the third-year receiver now has at least five receptions in five consecutive contests. Flowers next takes aim at the Vikings secondary in a Week 10 road matchup on Sunday, Nov. 9.
Oct 26, 2025
Leading receiver in win over Bears
Flowers caught seven of nine targets for 63 yards in Sunday's 30-16 win over Chicago. He added eight rushing yards on his only carry.
ANALYSIS
The third-year wideout led the Ravens in receptions, targets and receiving yards as Tyler Huntley put together a very efficient performance against an injury-ravaged Bears secondary. Flowers tied his season high with the seven grabs, a mark he's reached four times in seven games while amassing a 41-486-1 line on 55 targets. Lamar Jackson (hamstring) could be back under center next week, but no matter who he's catching passes from, Flowers figures to be heavily involved in the game plan in Week 9 against the Dolphins.
Oct 12, 2025
Held to 46 yards
Flowers recorded six receptions on 10 targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 17-3 loss to the Rams. He also lost a fumble.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was targeted heavily by the combination of Cooper Rush and Tyler Huntley, with no other pass catcher earning more than six targets. He had long gains of 18 and 10 yards, though the latter was undone when he fumbled on the same play. Flowers has been mediocre from a fantasy perspective in the absence of Lamar Jackson (hamstring) due to his consistent volume in the offense. However, he should be in line for more explosive performances with Jackson expected back in Week 8, following Baltimore's bye.
Oct 12, 2025
Active versus Rams
Flowers (shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Rams.
ANALYSIS
After being deemed limited in all three of the Ravens' practices this week, Flowers drew a 'questionable' designation for Week 6. With his active status versus Los Angeles confirmed, for the second week in a row Flowers will be catching passes from QB Cooper Rush, with Lamar Jackson (hamstring) still sidelined. While the wideout is available Sunday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network suggests that Flowers isn't likely to be 100 percent and is a candidate to play less than his typical allotment of snaps in a wideout corps that also includes Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins and Tylan Wallace. In last Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans, Flowers was Baltimore's top pass catcher, recording five receptions on as many targets for 72 yards, while logging an 84 percent snap share.
Oct 11, 2025
Likely to play Sunday
Flowers, who is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Rams due to a shoulder injury, is expected to suit up, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers logged a trio of limited practices this week while managing a shoulder issue. He was deemed questionable to play on Baltimore's final injury report Friday, but it appears he'll ultimately be able to suit up. However, for the second straight week he'll be working with QB Cooper Rush, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has already been ruled out for Week 6.
Oct 10, 2025
Questionable after limited practice
Flowers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Rams, Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was limited in all three of Baltimore's practices prior to being tagged with a questionable designation for Week 6. Even if Flowers plays, he would be catching passes from backup quarterback Cooper Rush, as Lamar Jackson (hamstring) has been ruled out for a second consecutive game.
Oct 9, 2025
Still limited Thursday
Flowers (shoulder) remained limited at practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was also limited Wednesday, but so far there's been nothing to suggest that his availability for Sunday's game against the Rams is in danger. In any case, Friday's final injury report will reveal whether the wideout carries an injury designation into the weekend or is fully cleared to face Los Angeles.
Oct 8, 2025
Limited with shoulder injury
Flowers (shoulder) was limited in Wednesday's practice, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
It's a new injury for the Ravens' top wide receiver and his first time on the injury report this season. Starting the week limited isn't too much of a concern at the moment, unless Flowers was injured in Wednesday's practice. If Flowers is unable to play Sunday against the Rams, Baltimore would roll out a wideout group of Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker.
Oct 5, 2025
Makes one long catch
Flowers recorded five receptions on five targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 44-10 loss to the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was unsurprisingly Cooper Rush's favorite target, and he came away with a decent fantasy stat line despite the blowout loss. He did most of his damage on a deep pass down the field that went for 56 yards, with Flowers being tackled at the four-yard line to narrowly miss out on his second score of the season. Though it was an unsustainable way to get the production, Flowers has now topped 70 receiving yards in four of five games this season and will hope to get Lamar Jackson (hamstring) back for a Week 6 matchup against the Rams.
Sep 28, 2025
Seven catches in blowout loss
Flowers recorded seven receptions on eight targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Flowers made some big plays early, tallying catches of 21 and 17 yards on Baltimore's first two possessions. The entire offense went cold for much of the game from there, though he was able to pad his stats in garbage time with Cooper Rush targeting him five times on a drive early in the final quarter, which Flowers turned into four catches for 21 yards. While the Ravens are typically known for their run game, the passing attack has been the key to their offensive success so far this season, and Flowers has at least 70 receiving yards in three of four contests as a result.
Sep 22, 2025
Limited to two grabs in loss
Flowers brought in two of three targets for 13 yards in the Ravens' 38-30 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
After coming into the night with an impressive 14-218-1 line that he'd generated over the first two games of the season, Flowers crashed down to earth in the interconference clash. The 2023 first-round pick's downturn was precipitated by a significant drop in targets, as he drew just three looks from Lamar Jackson after seeing a combined 20 over the first pair of contests. Flowers is likely to be much more involved in another potential wire-to-wire battle versus the Chiefs on the road in Week 4.
Sep 14, 2025
Leads pass catchers again in win
Flowers brought in seven of 11 targets for 75 yards in the Ravens' 41-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers once again filled the role of a true No. 1 receiver, leading the way in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the Ravens. While he matched his Week 1 catch total, Flowers didn't come close to approximating his 143-yard tally and didn't get into the end zone. However, Baltimore naturally wasn't pressed to be anywhere near as aggressive through the air as in that game, however, and the Flowers-Lamar Jackson connection appears to be in prime form going into a Week 3 home showdown against the Lions on Monday night, Sept. 22.
Sep 8, 2025
Monster performance on SNF
Flowers had seven receptions on nine targets for 143 yards and a touchdown while adding eight rushing yards on two attempts in Sunday's 41-40 loss to the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Flowers overcame an undisclosed injury during the practice week in order to suit up for Baltimore's season opener. Fantasy managers were elated to not only see the speedy receiver in the starting lineup, but also back producing true WR1 numbers after suffering a knee sprain in Week 18 last year. The 143 receiving yards set a new high-water mark for the third-year wideout while his nine targets finished five ahead of the second-highest player (Rashod Bateman). Flowers is shaping up to be an elite fantasy option heading into next Sunday's tilt against the Browns.
Aug 2, 2025
Back at practice
Flowers (undisclosed) returned to practice Saturday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers missed the last two days of practice while working through an unspecified injury, but it doesn't appear to be a serious issue as he was seen back on the field for Saturday's training camp practice. Flowers enjoyed a productive sophomore campaign and finished the 2024 regular season with 74 catches (on 116 targets) for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games, but he missed both of the Ravens' playoff games due to a right knee sprain that he suffered in Week 18. The 2023 first-rounder will lead the Ravens wide receiver corps in that also includes Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, Devontez Walker and Tylan Wallace.
Jul 30, 2025
Has minor undisclosed injury
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Flowers (undisclosed) did not practice due to a "camp thing" and is only expected to miss a few days, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers doesn't appear to be dealing with any sort of serious injury, and it's not as though he or the rest of Baltimore's starters will likely be in any consideration to suit up for next Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts. The 2023 first-round pick missed both the Ravens' playoff games last season due to a right knee sprain suffered Week 18, but he was back on the field as early as OTAs in May. Until Flowers is back at practice, increased first-team reps behind Rashod Bateman and DeAndre Hopkins should be available for Devontez Walker and Tylan Wallace.
May 28, 2025
Practicing at OTAs
Flowers (knee) is participating in on-field drills at OTAs on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers missed both of Baltimore's playoff games due to a right knee sprain sustained during the team's regular-season finale against Cleveland, but he didn't require surgery to address the issue and now appears back to full health. He'll work to take another step forward as the leader of the Ravens' wide receiver corps entering Year 3, after having tallied a 74-1,059-4 receiving line (116 targets) across 17 regular-season appearances in 2024. Baltimore remains a run-heavy offense featuring QB Lamar Jackson and RB Derrick Henry, leaving a smaller share of targets to be distributed between the 2023 first-round pick, Rashod Bateman and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely, but Flowers' ability to create separation downfield and 4.42 speed makes it possible for him to produce efficiently even without heavy volume.
May 4, 2025
Didn't need knee surgery
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Saturday that Flowers didn't need surgery to fix the knee injury that ended his 2024 season, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers wasn't able to participate in either of Baltimore's two playoff games last season due to a right knee sprain he suffered Week 18 against Cleveland. There was some concern that the talented wideout would need to undergo surgery, but that didn't end up being the case. As such, Flowers seems to be on track to be ready for that start of the 2025 season, when he'll look to further build upon his impressive 2024 campaign during which he caught 74 targets for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns over 17 regular-season contests.
Jan 21, 2025
Breaks 1,000-yard mark in Year 2
Flowers finished the season with 74 catches for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns. He suffered a knee injury in Week 18 against the Browns that sidelined him for the Ravens' postseason run.
ANALYSIS
The second-year man took a step forward after a promising rookie season. He had three fewer catches than he did as a rookie but totaled 200 more receiving yards in spite of that. Flowers' 19 catches of 20 or more yards tied for fourth among receivers this season and his 6.3 YAC average ranked in the 85th percentile at his position. His five 100-yard games also tied for first in the NFL. Flowers is now established as the No.1 option in Baltimore's passing game and has shown that he can still be an upper-echelon fantasy producer even in an offense that had the second-fewest pass attempts in the NFL.
Jan 19, 2025
Inactive versus Bills
Flowers (knee) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Since injuring his right knee during Week 18 action Flowers hasn't practiced, with the wideout having approached Sunday's postseason contest officially listed as doubtful. In his second consecutive absence, Nelson Agholor and Tylan Wallace are in a position to see added opportunities behind top healthy wideout Rashod Bateman, while TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely should continue to maintain relevance in Baltimore's passing game, along with RB Justice Hill.
Jan 17, 2025
Officially listed as doubtful
Flowers (knee) did not practice Friday and is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's divisional-round matchup at Buffalo.
ANALYSIS
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Friday that Flowers will "have a chance" to play in the AFC divisional round, per Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore, but given that the second-year pro hasn't handled any practice reps since injuring his right knee Week 18, his odds of being available may be slim. Official word on Flowers' status will arrive no later than 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If Flowers can't go, Rashod Bateman will again be called upon to lead Baltimore's wide receiver corps, with Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Steven Sims stepping into larger roles behind him.
Jan 17, 2025
Not spotted at Friday's practice
Flowers (knee) is not participating in the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers did appear to be finishing up a separate workout prior to the start of Friday's session, per Giana Han of TheBaltimoreBanner.com, and he was still spotted wearing a right knee brace. Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports that Flowers is trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's divisional-round road game against Buffalo, so his status will need to be closely monitored. If the Ravens leave the door open for Flowers to play, his status could come down to the wire as Sunday's 6:30 p.m. ET kickoff approaches.
Jan 16, 2025
No practice Thursday
Flowers (knee) didn't practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers injured his right knee in the Ravens' regular-season finale against the Browns on Jan. 4 and hasn't been able to handle any on-field work in the interim. He thus has one more chance to practice this week before the team potentially makes a ruling on his status for Sunday's divisional-round game at Buffalo. If Flowers remains sidelined this weekend, the likes of Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Steven Sims will be candidates for snaps and targets behind Rashod Bateman.
Jan 15, 2025
Not practicing
Flowers (knee) isn't practicing Wednesday, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
ANALYSIS
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said "we'll see" when reporters asked him Monday about Flowers' availability for Sunday's game at Buffalo. Flowers missed the wild-card round and now has two more chances to practice before Baltimore's divisional-round matchup.
Jan 13, 2025
Uncertain for divisional round
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that the team is in "we'll see mode" with Flowers (knee) ahead of Sunday's game at Buffalo, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Banner reports.
ANALYSIS
"[Flowers] is working very hard to get back, and we'll see toward the end of the week if he's practicing," Harbaugh said. "He can play without practicing, for sure, if he feels healthy enough and if it's safe for him." Flowers was injured Week 18 and didn't practice last week, ultimately getting ruled out Thursday for Saturday's eventual 28-14 win over the Steelers. His absence allowed WR Tylan Wallace to take 53 percent of snaps on offense, with Rashod Bateman at 49 percent, Steven Sims at 18 percent and Anthony Miller at 12 percent. Bateman was the clear leader in route share at 86 percent, followed by Wallace (50 percent), Agholor (36 percent) and Miller (23 percent). The Ravens likely will need more from their WRs this Sunday against the Bills, and there's a big decline in quality/productivity after Flowers and Bateman.
Jan 9, 2025
Won't play Saturday
Head coach John Harbaugh noted Thursday that Flowers (knee) won't play in Saturday night's wild-card round game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Flowers, who sprained his right knee in this past Saturday's win over the Browns, didn't practice this week and will target a potential return to action in the divisional round, should Baltimore defeat Pittsburgh. In Flowers' absence, Rashod Bateman is in line to work as the team's top wideout this weekend, with Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker also slated to mix in.
Jan 9, 2025
Still not practicing
Flowers (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers didn't practice Tuesday or Wednesday either, with his continued absence Thursday clouding his status for Saturday night's playoff opener against the Steelers. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will reveal whether or not Flowers has a chance to be available for the contest.
Jan 8, 2025
Sits out Wednesday's practice
Flowers (knee) is not participating in the portion of Wednesday's practice open to the media, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers is reportedly trending in the wrong direction for Saturday's wild-card game against the Steelers due to a right knee sprain sustained during Baltimore's regular-season finale, a 35-10 win over the Browns. It's worth noting, though, that head coach John Harbaugh labeled Flowers day-to-day on Monday. Thursday's practice figures to be pivotal for Flowers, as it will be difficult to picture him being cleared to suit up Saturday without getting in at least limited on-field reps prior to the release of the Ravens' final injury report.
Jan 8, 2025
Unlikely to play in wild-card round
Flowers (knee) is viewed as a "longshot" to be available to play in Saturday's wild-card game against the Steelers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers sprained his right knee in this past Saturday's 35-10 win over the Browns, and though head coach John Harbaugh classified him as day-to-day Monday, the wideout's chances of suiting up in the playoff opener don't appear promising. He was a non-participant in the Ravens' first practice session of the week Tuesday, and he'll almost certainly need to get back on the field as at least a limited participant by Thursday to have a legitimate chance of being ready to go for Saturday. Though Flowers appears unlikely to play against Pittsburgh, Rapoport relays that the 24-year-old will have a better chance to return for the divisional round if the Ravens can get past the Steelers.
Jan 7, 2025
Not practicing Tuesday
Flowers (knee) wasn't seen taking part in practice Tuesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers' absence from the field Tuesday as the Ravens opened prep for Saturday's wild-card game against the Steelers wasn't particularly surprising, after the wideout was forced out of this past Saturday's 35-10 win over the Browns with a right knee injury. Though head coach John Harbaugh wouldn't confirm Monday that Flowers was dealing with a sprain, Harbaugh said that the second-year receiver avoided a season-ending injury and is considered day-to-day. Flowers will have two more opportunities to practice this week before the Ravens potentially hand him a designation heading into Saturday's contest.
Jan 6, 2025
Considered day-to-day
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday that Flowers (knee) has avoided a season-ending injury and is considered day-to-day.
ANALYSIS
Flowers underwent an MRI on Sunday after having been forced out of Baltimore's 35-10 win over the Browns on Saturday due to what was initially diagnosed as a right knee sprain. Harbaugh declined to confirm whether the second-year pro is indeed dealing with a sprain, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, and he didn't offer an update on Flowers' chances of being available for Saturday's playoff matchup against the Steelers. If Flowers were unable to suit up for the Ravens' wild-card matchup, the likes of Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace, and Devontez Walker would have to handle an expanded role in the passing game behind Rashod Bateman and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
Jan 4, 2025
Believed to have knee sprain
Flowers is believed to have suffered a sprained knee in Saturday's win over the Browns, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers will undergo an MRI on Sunday to confirm the injury and determine the extent of it, but Rapoport adds that there's a real chance Flowers misses the Ravens' wild-card playoff opener next weekend. If Flowers is indeed unable to play next week, the Ravens will likely lean even more on Derrick Henry if possible. As for pass catchers, Baltimore's aerial offense may operate through Mark Andrews, Isaiah Likely and Rashod Bateman.
Jan 4, 2025
Will have MRI on Sunday
Following Saturday's win over the Browns, coach John Harbaugh said Flowers (knee) will undergo an MRI on Sunday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers took a hit to the knee versus Cleveland and was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest after catching one of his two targets for 12 yards. Harbaugh said there's a "chance" Flowers will be ready for the start of the playoffs next weekend, Zrebiec added. If Flowers is unable to play in the wild-card round, Rashod Bateman, Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker would be in line to soak up Baltimore's receiver snaps.
Jan 4, 2025
Ruled out of Saturday's game
Flowers (knee) won't return to Saturday's game versus the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was seen grabbing at his right knee following a 12-yard catch in the second quarter and was tended to on the field for some time before walking slowly to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room. He was ruled out after halftime, and with Nelson Agholor a healthy scratch Saturday, the Ravens' receiving corps currently is composed of Rashod Bateman, Tylan Wallace, Devontez Walker and Steven Sims.
Jan 4, 2025
Injures knee in Week 18
Flowers suffered a knee injury during Saturday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Flowers remained on the turf after a 12-yard catch in the second quarter, holding his right knee while in visible pain. He was attended to for multiple minutes before making his way slowly to the sideline tent and eventually the locker room, at which point the Ravens deemed him questionable to return. If he's unable to re-enter the contest, Flowers will end Week 18 with the aforementioned reception and one carry for nine yards.
Dec 25, 2024
Two catches in Week 17 win
Flowers secured two of five targets for 31 yards in the Ravens' 31-2 win over the Texans on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers tied Mark Andrews and Derrick Henry for the team lead in receptions while checking in second in receiving yards. The talented wideout also set the pace in targets on an afternoon where Lamar Jackson attempted just 15 passes. Flowers saw a streak of games with over 50 receiving yards snapped at four, but he'll take a career-best 1,047 receiving yards into a Week 18 home matchup against the Browns on Jan. 5.
Dec 25, 2024
Active versus Houston
Flowers (shoulder) is listed as active for Wednesday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was deemed a non-participant on the Ravens' Sunday and Monday practice reports before logging a limited listing Tuesday and approaching Wednesday's contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus Houston confirmed, Flowers is in line to remain a key target for QB Lamar Jackson in Week 17, barring any in-game setbacks. To date, the 2023 first-rounder has recorded a team-high 71 catches (on 109 targets) for 1,016 yards to go along with four TDs through 15 appearances this season.
Dec 25, 2024
Expected to play against Houston
Flowers (shoulder) is expected to play Wednesday against the Texans, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports.
ANALYSIS
After being listed as a non-participant on Sunday and Monday's injury reports, Flowers logged a limited listing Tuesday and was deemed questionable to face Houston. Per Rapoport, the wideout is trending toward playing Wednesday, with confirmation of Flowers' Week 17 status set to arrive when Baltimore's inactives are posted ahead of the team's 4:30 ET kickoff.
Dec 24, 2024
Gets questionable tag for Christmas
Flowers (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Wednesday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
After being listed as a non-participant on the Ravens' first two Week 17 practice reports, Flowers upgraded to limited activity Tuesday but will still carry a designation into the Christmas Day contest. Fortunately, the Ravens and Texans are playing in the second game of the Week 17 slate, giving fantasy managers who are planning on deploying Flowers in lineups plenty of alternatives in the event he can't suit up for the first time all season. Official word on Flowers' status will arrive when Baltimore posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Wednesday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff.
Dec 23, 2024
Sits out practice Monday
Flowers (shoulder) is not participating in practice Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was also listed as a non-participant on Sunday's estimated practice report, after he caught five of eight targets for 100 yards in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers. Coach John Harbaugh has offered optimism that the second-year pro will be able to suit up Wednesday on the road against Houston, but it looks as though Flowers may have to participate in at least a limited capacity Tuesday in order to be cleared for Week 17 action.
Dec 22, 2024
Estimated as non-practice participant
Flowers (shoulder) was listed as a non-participant on Sunday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens played Saturday, with the team holding a late-afternoon walk-through one day later. In the team's win over the Steelers, Flowers caught five of eight targets for 100 yards, while logging an 87 percent snap share. Given his listing on Sunday's practice estimate, however, the wideout's status is now worth monitoring as Wednesday's contest against the Texans approaches.
Dec 21, 2024
Hits century mark in win
Flowers caught five of eight targets for 100 yards in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wideout delivered his fifth 100-yard game of the season, but his first since Week 9. Flowers reached the 1,000-yard plateau on the season for the first time with the performance, and with two games left on the Ravens' schedule he sports a 71-1,106-4 line on 109 targets. Flowers will take aim at the Texans' secondary in Week 17.
Dec 15, 2024
Team-high catch total in win
Flowers secured six of seven targets for 53 yards in the Ravens' 35-14 win over the Giants on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers finished with team-high catch and target totals in the lopsided win, but he was only third in receiving yards behind Rashod Bateman and Justice Hill. The second-year wideout has eclipsed 50 receiving yards in three straight games for the first time this season heading into a Week 16 home matchup against the Steelers on Saturday afternoon.
Dec 1, 2024
Leads team with 74 yards
Flowers finished with three receptions (seven targets) for 74 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Flowers finished as the Ravens' leading receiver Sunday, but both of Lamar Jackson's passing scores went to tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely. The 23-year-old Flowers set a new personal best for receiving yards in a season (863) in three fewer games compared to his strong rookie campaign in 2023. The budding sophomore has become a solid option across all fantasy leagues while serving as Baltimore's No. 1 wideout this year. The Ravens will enter a bye week before resuming play against the Giants on Dec. 15.
Nov 25, 2024
Paces pass catchers in win
Flowers secured five of eight targets for 62 yards in the Ravens' 30-23 win over the Chargers on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
Flowers tied for the team lead in receptions while setting the pace in both receiving yards and targets. The speedy second-year wideout recorded catches of 22 and 25 yards among his five grabs, and Monday marked only the second time he cleared 60 receiving yards in his eight sub-100-yard efforts. Flowers should have another key role during a Week 13 home interconference showdown against the Eagles on Sunday afternoon.
Nov 17, 2024
Hauls in TD in Sunday's loss
Flowers caught two of six targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 18-16 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
The second-year wideout was headed for an awful performance until he hooked up with Lamar Jackson for a 16-yard score with just over one minute left in the fourth quarter. The Ravens were unable to add a two-point conversion however, as their comeback effort fell short. Flowers is still prone to occasional quiet games, but over the last seven games he's posted an impressive 35-569-3 line on 52 targets. He'll look to make an impact again in Week 12 against the Chargers.
Nov 8, 2024
Limited to four catches Thursday
Flowers secured four of six targets for 34 yards in the Ravens' 35-34 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Flowers finished with the second-most receptions and third-most targets for the Ravens on the night, but he was much quieter than in his previous two games when he'd recorded a combined 242 receiving yards and a pair of touchdowns. Flowers' catch total was also his second lowest of the last six contests, but he could well bounce back in what should be a highly competitive Week 11 divisional road showdown against the Steelers on Sunday, Nov. 17.
Nov 3, 2024
Torches Denver in Sunday's win
Flowers caught five of six targets for 127 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 41-10 rout of the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Both scores came in the second quarter as Flowers was on the other end of seven-yard and 53-yard strikes from Lamar Jackson. The Ravens' acquisition of Diontae Johnson doesn't seem likely to threaten Flowers spot as Jackson's top downfield option -- the second-year wideout has erupted for four 100-yard performances in the last five games, although the TDs were his first since Week 2. Flowers could be poised for big numbers again in Week 10 against a Bengals secondary he posted a 7-111-0 line against on 12 targets in their first meeting.
Oct 27, 2024
Strong showing against Browns
Flowers recorded seven receptions on 12 targets for 115 yards in Sunday's 29-24 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Flowers' availability was in question after he suffered an ankle injury in Week 7 and only managed one limited practice during the week. However, he turned in his third 100-yard performance in his last four games, highlighted by lengthy receptions of 29, 25, 23 and 21 yards. Flowers has had an impressive sophomore season, with the only drawback being that he has just one touchdown across eight contests.
Oct 27, 2024
Active versus Cleveland
Flowers (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
After not practicing Wednesday or Thursday due to an ankle issue that he sustained early in this past Monday night's win over the Buccaneers, Flowers returned to a limited session Friday, during which the wideout was moving around well, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN. In the absence of any limitations or in-game setbacks, Flowers -- who approached Sunday's contest listed as questionable -- should have an opportunity to maintain his key role in the Ravens' passing game, a context that has led to him recording a 34/412/1 receiving line on 49 targets through seven games to date. Prior to his one-catch effort against Tampa Bay (while recording a 71 percent snap share), the 2023 first-rounder had combined for 16 catches on 21 targets for 243 yards in his two previous outings.
Oct 26, 2024
Set to suit up Sunday
Flowers (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's Week 8 clash against the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers is officially questionable for Sunday and had been considered a game-time decision, but it appears that he'll be able to take the field against Cleveland. The second-year receiver has been Baltimore's top pass catcher this season, tallying 49 catches for 412 yards and a touchdown over seven games. Flowers had only one catch for 11 yards and one rush for 19 yards last Sunday against Tampa Bay while playing through the ankle injury, so it's possible that the issue could impact his production to some extent against the Browns.
Oct 26, 2024
Considered game-time decision
Flowers (ankle) will be a game-time decision to suit up in Sunday's Week 8 contest against Cleveland, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers hurt his ankle last Monday against Tampa Bay and logged a DNP/DNP/LP progression during practice this week. With that level of participation, it's no surprise that his status for Sunday's contest likely won't be clarified until 90 minutes prior to kickoff. If Flowers can't suit up Sunday, Rashod Bateman will likely take over as Baltimore's No. 1 receiver.
Oct 25, 2024
Questionable after limited practice
Flowers (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns after logging a limited practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers played through a first-half ankle injury Monday against the Buccaneers, but he failed to practice Wednesday or Thursday before Friday's limited session. Flowers' status may not be confirmed until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff in Cleveland. Rashod Bateman could be the primary beneficiary if Flowers winds up sidelined or limited.
Oct 25, 2024
Back at practice
Flowers (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but the wideout's return to the field Friday is a good sign regarding his availability for Sunday's game against the Browns. The Ravens' upcoming injury report will clarify whether Flowers heads into the weekend with an injury designation or fully cleared for Week 8 action.
Oct 24, 2024
Sidelined for another practice
Flowers (ankle) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
He'll go down as a non-participant for the second practice in a row, clouding his status for Sunday's game in Cleveland. The Ravens will wait and see what, if anything, Flowers can do during Friday's practice before determining whether he'll be cleared to play against the Browns, carry a designation into the weekend or be ruled out for the contest. A potential Flowers absence Sunday would likely free up more targets for receivers Rashod Bateman and Nelson Agholor and tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely.
Oct 23, 2024
Listed as non-participant
The Ravens listed Flowers (ankle) as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens opened Week 8 with a walk-through session after beating Tampa Bay on Monday. Flowers returned to the 41-31 win after injuring his ankle early on, ultimately handling 70 percent snap share and team-high 88 percent route share, but he finished with just one target and one carry for 30 total yards. The only pass he saw post-injury was a flubbed backward throw that officially counted a lost fumble for QB Lamar Jackson.
Oct 22, 2024
Few touches after injury scare
Flowers caught his only target for 11 yards and rushed once for 19 yards in Monday's 41-31 win over the Buccaneers.
ANALYSIS
Flowers appeared to hurt his ankle on his 19-yard run in the second quarter. He stayed in the game and couldn't corral a backward pass in the fourth quarter on a play that went down as a Lamar Jackson fumble. Flowers' lack of involvement was especially disappointing considering Jackson threw five touchdown passes, but it's likely that the ankle injury had something to do with Flowers' quiet night. With that context in mind, Flowers' Week 8 status will bear monitoring as he has one fewer day than usual to recover before facing the Browns.
Oct 13, 2024
Huge first half in win
Flowers caught all nine of his targets for 132 yards in Sunday's 30-23 win over the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
Curiously, all of his catches came in the first half, but it was still enough for a career-best performance from the second-year wideout. Flowers has topped 100 receiving yards in back-to-back games, and through six weeks he has a strong 33-401-1 line on 48 targets. The league's better secondaries have been able to neutralize Flowers -- most of his production has come in contests against Washington, Cincinnati and Las Vegas -- but that shouldn't be an issue for him in Week 7 against Tampa Bay.
Oct 6, 2024
Tops 100 yards in OT win
Flowers caught seven of 12 targets for 111 yards in Sunday's 41-38 overtime win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
It's the first time in 2024, and the third time in his career, that the second-year wideout has delivered triple-digit receiving yardage. It was also an impressive bounce-back performance from Flowers, who'd managed just a 4-30-0 line on six targets over the prior two games combined. He'll look to build on this performance in Week 6 against the Commanders.
Sep 30, 2024
Just one catch on SNF
Flowers brought in one of two targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 35-10 win over the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Flowers turned in another dud following last week's 3-20-0 receiving line against the Cowboys. The 2023 first-round pick racked up 13 receptions for 128 yards and a touchdown in his first two games, so there is hope for the sophomore to break out of his mini slump. Flowers could be in line for more work in a road matchup against the Bengals' high-powered offense Sunday.
Sep 22, 2024
Held quiet by Cowboys
Flowers recorded three catches on four targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 28-25 win over the Cowboys. He added one rush for three yards.
ANALYSIS
Flowers had seen strong target volume in the first two weeks of the season, though game script dictated otherwise Sunday. The Ravens attempted only 15 passes as opposed to 45 rushes, leaving all of the team's pass catchers with limited volume. Positively, Flowers still tied for the team lead in targets and a Week 4 matchup against Buffalo is likely to dictate that Baltimore takes to the air more often.
Sep 15, 2024
Paces pass catchers in loss
Flowers brought in seven of 11 targets for 91 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 26-23 loss to the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers' line looked like that of a No. 1 receiver in a victory, as the second-year wideout continued to look the part while recording team highs in receptions, receiving yards and targets. However, the Ravens went on to blow a 10-point lead in the second half, one that had been established with Flowers' eight-yard touchdown grab early in the fourth quarter. Despite the disappointing outcome, Flowers' fantasy stock is strong heading into a Week 3 road showdown against the Cowboys next Sunday.
Sep 6, 2024
Stays busy in Week 1 loss
Flowers secured six of 10 targets for 37 yards and rushed twice for 14 yards in the Ravens' 27-20 loss to the Chiefs on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was the runner-up in both receptions and targets on the night for the Ravens, although the overwhelming majority of his catches were very close to the line of scrimmage. The second-year wideout did look explosive with the ball in his hands and ready to resume or even expand the robust role he enjoyed as a rookie in 2023, when he logged 85 touches across 16 regular-season games and another 11 in two playoff contests. Flowers will aim to up his efficiency at the expense of the Raiders in a Week 2 home battle on Sunday, Sept. 15.
Aug 14, 2024
Not likely to play Saturday
Coach John Harbaugh suggested Wednesday that the Ravens are on track to continue to have key starters (a group that includes Flowers) not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Falcons, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was among the team's starters not to see action in this past Friday's exhibition opener against the Eagles, and it looks like he won't see any snaps this weekend either. As the coming season approaches, Flowers is slated to start alongside fellow WR Rashod Bateman, a role that should allow the 2023 first-rounder to see steady targets from QB Lamar Jackson throughout his second campaign as a pro. As a rookie, Flowers compiled a 77-858-5 receiving line across 16 regular-season games, numbers that he'll have a good chance to eclipse provided he can stay healthy in 2024.
Jan 28, 2024
Mars impressive effort with fumble
Flowers secured five of eight targets for 115 yards and a touchdown and rushed twice for four yards in the Ravens' 17-10 AFC Championship Game loss to the Chiefs on Sunday. He also lost a fumble.
ANALYSIS
Flowers' turnover was of such importance that it nearly overshadowed his otherwise spectacular performance in his second career postseason game. The rookie first-round pick recorded a picturesque 30-yard scoring grab in the first quarter to answer the Chiefs' first touchdown and then added a 54-yard reception to kick off a late third-quarter drive. However, Flowers was flagged for taunting at the end of that play, and the 15 yards that cost Baltimore may have changed the dynamic of their play calling. Instead of focusing on the run, the Ravens took to the air, and Flowers eventually fumbled just before crossing the goal line at the end of an eight-yard grab, a critical turnover given the game's final score. The disappointing end to the season doesn't take away from the optimism Flowers generated with his first-year performance, as he posted a 77-858-5 line across 16 regular-season games while adding eight carries for 56 yards and another score.
Jan 20, 2024
Limited volume in playoff win
Flowers recorded four catches on five targets for 41 yards in Saturday's 34-10 win over the Texans.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens ran the ball 42 times in the win, which in turn limited volume for all of their pass catchers. Flowers led the team in targets but still had a modest stat line as a result, with his longest gain of the day going for 17 yards on a catch early in the second quarter. Presumably, the Ravens will be in a tighter matchup in the AFC Championship Game against either the Bills or Chiefs, which should give Flowers the chance at a more robust stat line.
Jan 17, 2024
Good to go for Saturday
Flowers (calf) was a full practice participant Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The upgraded status after limited participation Tuesday confirms the general feeling that Flowers was never in danger of missing Saturday's game against Houston. He probably would've been able to play Week 18 and in the wild-card round if he'd been needed, and he now figures to fill his usual role as the No. 1 receiver this weekend against the Texans. QB Lamar Jackson may even have his full complement of receiving weapons, as TE Mark Andrews (ankle) also managed a full practice Wednesday.
Jan 16, 2024
Listed as limited
Flowers (calf) was a limited practice participant Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
It's his first official practice participation since Week 17, but that might not have been the case if the Ravens had played a meaningful game Week 18 or been part of the wild-card round this past weekend. Flowers should be ready for Saturday's game against Houston, and it's worth noting that he played through the same calf injury Week 17 and caught three passes for 106 yards and a TD in a 56-19 win over the Dolphins (though he did play fewer snaps than usual even before the game became a blowout).
Jan 16, 2024
Back at practice
Flowers (calf) returned to practice Tuesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers didn't play Week 18 and didn't practice last week, but there doesn't seem to be much concern about his availability for Saturday's game against Houston. He might've even played in the regular-season finale if the Ravens hadn't already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC, and his return to practice Tuesday confirms he's on track to play in the playoffs.
Jan 10, 2024
Not practicing Wednesday
Flowers (calf) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was inactive for the Ravens' regular-season finale this past Saturday against the Steelers, but with the team having secured a first-round playoff bye, the wideout has added time to recover from his calf issue ahead of the divisional round. Look for added clarity regarding Flowers' postseason status to arrive next week, when Baltimore will be required to post injury reports.
Jan 6, 2024
Sitting out Saturday
Flowers (calf) is listed as inactive Saturday against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Flowers played through a calf injury during the Ravens' Week 17 win against the Dolphins en route to three catches (on three targets) for 106 yards and one touchdown on a 66 percent share of snaps. Having said that, he wasn't able to practice during Week 18 prep due to the same issue, and with the team having locked up the No. 1 seed in the AFC, he'll be afforded two weeks off to get healthy for a divisional-round matchup on Saturday, Jan. 20 or Sunday, Jan. 21.
Jan 4, 2024
Doubtful for Saturday
Flowers (calf) is listed as doubtful for Saturday's regular-season finale against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Flowers didn't practice this week, and with Baltimore having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, the wideout is trending toward being made inactive Saturday. Assuming that's the case, the likes of Nelson Agholor, Tylan Wallace, Laquon Treadwell and Malik Cunningham figure to see added Week 18 snaps, with veteran WR Odell Beckham (rest) also having been ruled out by the Ravens.
Jan 4, 2024
Sits out another practice
Flowers (calf) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens won't release their final injury report of the regular season until later Thursday, but after failing to practice in any fashion this week, Flowers appears to be trending toward sitting out Saturday's game against the Steelers. With Baltimore having already clinched the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, the team can afford to take a cautious approach with banged-up players like Flowers, who will presumably be closer to 100 percent by the time the Ravens play their first postseason game in the divisional round. Even if Baltimore chooses to make Flowers active against the Steelers, the rookie wideout may play only limited snaps, if any.
Jan 3, 2024
Still not practicing Wednesday
Flowers (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
After the Ravens estimated him as a non-participant on Tuesday's practice report due to a calf issue, Flowers remained on the sideline one day later as the team reconvened for actual on-field work ahead of Saturday's regular-season finale against the Steelers. Baltimore is locked into the No. 1 seed in the AFC side of the playoffs, so if the team has any qualms about Flowers' health, it may err on the side of caution and hold him out this weekend with an eye toward having him healthy for the divisional round.
Jan 2, 2024
DNP on practice estimate
Flowers (calf) was listed as a non-participant on Tuesday's estimated injury report.
ANALYSIS
Flowers kicked off Week 17 prep in the exact same situation, followed it up with a true DNP and then logged a limited session before the Ravens considered him questionable for this past Sunday's game against the Dolphins. After he was deemed active, he didn't look worse for wear en route to three catches (on three targets) for 106 yards and one touchdown. There's been no indication that Flowers is in danger of sitting out Saturday versus the Steelers, but his status nonetheless will be monitored to ensure that ends up being the case.
Dec 31, 2023
Eclipses century mark in win
Flowers brought in all three targets for 106 yards and a touchdown in the Ravens' 56-19 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers got behind the Dolphins' short-handed secondary for a 75-yard touchdown late in the first half that extended the Ravens' 14-13 lead at the time. The rookie wideout's yardage total was a new career high, and if Flowers does indeed sit with some other Ravens starters in Week 18 now that Baltimore has clinched the AFC's No. 1 seed, he'll finish his first regular season with an impressive 77-858-5 line across 16 games.
Dec 31, 2023
In clear for Sunday's game
Flowers (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
The rookie wideout carried a questionable designation into Sunday after the calf injury kept him from practicing Wednesday and Thursday before he returned to the field Friday as a limited participant. Despite the light practice activity this week, Flowers won't be forced to miss the first game of his career, though the Ravens' decision to keep a sixth receiver (Laquon Treadwell) active for Week 17 could hint that the former might have his snaps managed. Flowers drew a season-high 13 targets in the Ravens' Week 16 win over the 49ers, hauling in nine passes for 72 yards and a touchdown.
Dec 30, 2023
Slated to suit up Sunday
Flowers (calf) is in line to play Sunday against the Dolphins, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers has been bothered by a variety of injuries this season, but he also hasn't missed a game through Week 16. This week, he didn't practice until Friday, when he was limited, due to a calf injury and then entered the weekend as questionable. Flowers' status will be confirmed, one way or another, about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
Dec 29, 2023
Questionable after limited practice
Flowers (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Flowers got back on the practice field Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, but he managed only a limited session, so the rookie could be in danger of missing a game for the first time in his NFL career. Final word on Flowers' availability may not come until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff between the 11-4 Dolphins and 12-3 Ravens.
Dec 29, 2023
Back at practice Friday
Flowers (calf) returned to practice Friday, Brian Wacker of the Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, so it's encouraging that he's practicing Friday, though his participation level has yet to be clarified. The rookie wideout has yet to miss a game in his NFL career, but he may carry an injury designation into Sunday's home game against the Dolphins when the Ravens post their Week 17 injury report later Friday.
Dec 28, 2023
Misses another practice
Flowers (calf) isn't practicing Thursday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens haven't indicated that Flowers is in danger of sitting out Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but the rookie receiver's lack of activity in both of the team's first two Week 17 practices isn't the most encouraging sign for his health. Flowers would assuage some of the concern about his status for Sunday if he's able to get back on the field Friday in any capacity. He's coming off one of his stronger outings of the season in the Ravens' 33-19 win over the 49ers on Monday, when he hauled in nine of 13 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown.
Dec 27, 2023
Listed as DNP with calf injury
Flowers (calf) is listed as a non-participanton Wednesday's practice estimate.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was listed with a foot injury last week before catching nine of 13 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-19 win at San Francisco. The Ravens didn't actually practice Wednesday, and any level of participation Thursday should have Flowers on the right track to suit up this Sunday in Miami.
Dec 26, 2023
Commands 13 targets
Flowers recorded nine catches on 13 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-19 win over the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Flowers stood out in one of Baltimore's most important games of the season and commanded a career-high 13 targets. While that turned into a relatively modest 72 yards, he tripled in all of the team's other pass-catchers in opportunities. Flowers also tallied his third score in his last four games after catching a nine-yard touchdown early in the third quarter. While his yardage totals may be inconsistent due to Baltimore's run-heavy offensive scheme, Flowers has reemerged as a key part of the team's receiving corps by commanding at least eight targets in three of his last four contests.
Dec 25, 2023
Suiting up Monday
Flowers (foot) is active for Monday's contest in San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
After opening Week 16 prep last Thursday as limited due to a foot injury, Flowers followed it up with back-to-back full sessions but still was listed as questionable for Monday's outing. With his status now clarified, he'll be taking on a 49ers defense that has surrendered the fifth-most catches (202) to opposing wide receivers in 14 games this season.
Dec 23, 2023
Questionable for Monday
Flowers (foot) is listed as questionable for Monday's game in San Francisco.
ANALYSIS
On Wednesday, coach John Harbaugh revealed that Flowers was tending to a foot injury, but the Ravens weren't worried about his availability for Week 16, according to Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. Flowers proceeded to be limited at Thursday's practice before bumping up to all activity Friday and Saturday. Still, his status won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Monday's 8:15 p.m. ET kickoff.
Dec 22, 2023
Moves past foot injury
Flowers (foot) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Coming out of Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars, Flowers is nursing a foot injury that resulted in him being a limited participant in Thursday's practice, but his ability to take every rep of Friday's session clears the way for him to play Monday versus San Francisco. The injury may have played a part in Flowers' disappointing output in the Week 15 win, as he finished with just one catch for seven yards on two targets, despite playing 86 percent of the Ravens' snaps on offense.
Dec 21, 2023
Manages limited practice
Flowers (foot) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers didn't practice Wednesday, but coach John Harbaugh said the rookie will be ready for Monday's game at San Francisco. Limited status on Baltimore's first official practice report of Week 15 confirms Flowers is on track to play, and he'll likely continue to lead the team's wide receivers in snaps and routes -- as has been the case nearly every week this season.
Dec 20, 2023
Coach not concerned with injury
Coach John Harbaugh said there's no concern over the availability of Flowers (foot), who didn't practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers doesn't appear to be in danger of missing Monday's game against the 49ers, and he could officially put any concerns to bed by returning to full practice participation in any of Baltimore's three remaining practices this week. Most of the team took advantage of an extra day of practice Wednesday, but Flowers didn't participate.
Dec 20, 2023
Bothered by foot Wednesday
Flowers (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens won't publish their first injury report until Thursday since they play Monday in Week 16, but Flowers appears to be dealing with a foot injury as the team prepares for a high-profile clash with the 49ers. With an extra day to heal, there isn't much cause for concern yet, but another absence from the rookie receiver Thursday would raise some eyebrows.
Dec 17, 2023
Nearly invisible in Week 15 win
Flowers caught one of two targets for seven yards in Sunday's 23-7 win over the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Flowers barely saw any involvement as the Ravens went with a run-heavy approach, while tight end Isaiah Likely accounted for 70 of Lamar Jackson's 171 passing yards, as well as Jackson's lone passing touchdown. This was a disappointing step back for the rookie wide receiver, who had 18 targets over the previous two games and came into Sunday's win on a two-game touchdown streak. Flowers will look to bounce back in a high-profile Monday Night Football clash with the 49ers in Week 16.
Dec 11, 2023
Scores crucial touchdown Sunday
Flowers caught six of 10 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's overtime win over the Rams. He added a two-point conversion.
ANALYSIS
The rookie was on his way to a somewhat disappointing outing before reeling in the go-ahead 21-yard touchdown from Lamar Jackson with 1:16 remaining. He then punctuated that possession by catching the two-point conversion to give the Ravens a three-point lead. Flowers has now drawn 18 targets in two games since Mark Andrews went down with an ankle injury that will likely end his season. Only Odell Beckham has double-digit targets among Baltimore receivers since Andrews' injury and Flowers now holds a sturdy 24 percent target share on the season. The Ravens head to Jacksonville for Sunday Night Football in Week 15.
Nov 26, 2023
First career touchdown
Flowers recorded five receptions on eight targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chargers. He added one rush for 37 yards and an additional score.
ANALYSIS
Flowers led the Ravens in targets and receptions and tallied the first touchdowns of his career. The first came on a three-yard reception early in the second quarter, while he later sealed the victory on a 37-yard rush around the left end to put the Ravens up by 10 points late in the fourth quarter. Targets are dispersed in the Baltimore offense so he isn't likely to put up big performances consistently, but Flowers now has more than 50 yards from scrimmage in three consecutive games.
Nov 26, 2023
Suits up Sunday
Flowers (hip) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Flowers, who approached the contest officially listed as questionable, missed practice Thursday, but was a full participant Friday and declared himself "ready to go" afterward, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN. With his active status for Sunday night's contest confirmed, the Ravens' leading receiver is slated to remain a key target for QB Lamar Jackson in a pass-catching corps that will be without star tight end Mark Andrews, who was placed on IR on Saturday due to an ankle injury. Through 11 games this season, Flowers has compiled a 53/588/1 receiving line on 72 targets, with the 2023 first-rounder's standing within Baltimore's offense providing him with weekly fantasy utility.
Nov 26, 2023
Expected to play Sunday night
Flowers (hip) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers practiced in full Friday but is officially listed as questionable for Sunday Night Football. It looks as though the rookie first-round pick will suit up on the road at Los Angeles, though fantasy managers may not have official word on his status until roughly 90 minutes ahead of Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff. Fellow wideout Odell Beckham (shoulder) is also expected to suit up despite being listed as questionable.
Nov 24, 2023
Questionable despite full practice
Flowers (hip) was a full practice participant Friday but is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Flowers already downplayed his absence from practice Thursday and told reporters his availability for Sunday has never been in doubt, per Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com. A full practice to close out the week confirms the rookie is on track to play, though the Ravens will leave the door open for a last-second change of heart or setback. Fellow wideout Odell Beckham (shoulder) also is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game despite upgrading to full practice participation Friday.
Nov 24, 2023
Says he's fine for Sunday
Flowers (hip) told reporters Friday that he's feeling good and will play in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers said his availability was never in doubt, noting that he "had to take a little break" due to the minor hip injury. It sounds like he'll practice again Friday and either avoid a game designation of be listed as questionable.
Nov 24, 2023
Present for practice Friday
Flowers (hip) was spotted on the field at practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers didn't practice Thursday, so his presence on the field Friday is a positive step ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The Ravens' final Week 12 injury report will be released later Friday and will clarify whether Flowers heads into the weekend with an injury designation.
Nov 23, 2023
Listed as non-participant Thursday
Flowers (hip) was listed as a non-participant in practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was limited Wednesday, so his downgrade to 'DNP' a day later is notable. Meanwhile, fellow WR Odell Beckham (shoulder) was limited Thursday, while Rashod Bateman (foot) worked fully. Friday's injury report will add valuable context regarding the chances of the trio all playing Sunday night against the Chargers, but unless Flowers practices fully to close the week, he figures to head into the weekend with an injury designation.
Nov 22, 2023
Limited with hip injury
Flowers was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to a hip injury.
ANALYSIS
This is his first time not being a full participant all season, and with no indication of a serious injury. Flowers played 98 percent of Baltimore's snaps on offense in a 34-20 win over the Bengals last Thursday, finishing with four touches for 50 yards after a dubious holding call cost him a 69-yard TD on a screen pass. The rookie already leads Baltimore targets (72) and looks like a clear No. 1 in the passing game after TE Mark Andrews suffered a season-ending leg injury last week. Flowers should be busy Sunday night against the Chargers if he's able to move past the hip injury.

Compiles 50 total yards in win
Flowers brought in three of four targets for 43 yards and rushed once for seven yards in the Ravens' 34-20 win over the Bengals on Thursday night.
ANALYSIS
Flowers finished a distant second in receiving yards to Odell Beckham (shoulder) and was the runner-up to his teammate in receptions and targets as well. The rookie speedster gained the majority of his production on a 33-yard grab, but he's now been under 50 receiving yards in three of the past four games. However, Flowers could be one of the Ravens pass catchers to benefit during the rest of the campaign from the apparent season-ending ankle injury suffered by Mark Andrews in the first quarter of Thursday's contest.

Five grabs in loss
Flowers secured five of six targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 33-31 loss to the Browns.
ANALYSIS
After seeing just one target in Week 9, Flowers bounced back with a solid performance Sunday, albeit in a loss to the Browns. The rookie receiver led the Ravens in targets, catches and receiving yards, but failed to find the end zone in the contest. Through 10 games, Flowers has scored just one touchdown despite leading Baltimore with 68 targets. With favorable matchups down the stretch, the 23-year-old could have the opportunity to improve in this area while continuing to soak up targets from Lamar Jackson. Flowers will look to maintain his role as Jackson's preferred option at wideout when the Ravens host the Bengals in Week 11.

Sees just one target Sunday
Flowers caught his lone target for an 11-yard gain Sunday against the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
This marks back-to-back weeks in which the talented rookie has been held under 20 receiving yards. Sunday's low-production outing was the product of Baltimore building a substantial lead and running out the clock, though, seeing as Lamar Jackson only dropped back 26 times and threw for 187 yards with no touchdowns. It is worth noting that Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman outproduced Flowers, however. Flowers draws a tough matchup against a strong Cleveland defense in Week 10.

Career-low yardage in win
Flowers caught five of seven targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Flowers led the team in targets and catches but didn't make much of the volume. The 2023 first-round draft pick posted the lowest yardage total of his young career, as Flowers had at least 48 receiving yards in each of his first seven games. Flowers will look to bounce back in Week 9 against the Seahawks.
Oct 22, 2023
Tops 70 yards again
Flowers recorded four receptions on six targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 38-6 win over Detroit.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore's target distribution was relatively flat, leaving Flowers as one of three players with either six or seven targets. Of that group, Flowers was the most efficient, thanks in large part to a 48-yard catch and run on the Ravens' first offensive possession of the game. He has now topped 70 receiving yards in three of his first seven games in the NFL.
Oct 15, 2023
Hauls in first career TD
Flowers caught six of eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown and added one rushing yard on his only carry in Sunday's 24-16 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
The rookie wideout hauled in his first career NFL touchdown on a 10-yard toss from Lamar Jackson in the second quarter. Flowers has been the Ravens' most reliable WR in the early going, posting a 35-367-1 line on 48 targets through six games, and if the improvements in the team's passing game efficiency under new offensive coordinator Todd Monken pay off, Sunday's score figures to be the first of many for the Boston College product in 2023. Flowers will look to return to the end zone in Week 7 against a Lions defense that's already given up six receiving TDs to wide receivers -- only the Eagles and Commanders have allowed more through their first five games.
Oct 8, 2023
Career-best 11 targets
Flowers recorded five receptions on 11 targets for 73 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Even with the return of both Odell Beckham (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring), Flowers led the team in targets. He now has double-digit looks in three of the first five games in his career, a promising trend for his future production. Flowers' performance was slightly less positive, as he slipped on what would have been a long gain down the field and also dropped an additional pass -- leaving a lot of production on the field. Nevertheless, he managed to top 70 receiving yards for the second time on the campaign.
Oct 1, 2023
Makes 43-yard grab
Flowers caught three of four targets for 56 yards and rushed once for minus-6 yards in Sunday's 28-3 win over Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
With Odell Beckham (ankle) and Rashod Bateman (hamstring) unavailable, Mark Andrews was Lamar Jackson's favorite target, catching all five of his targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns. Flowers finished second on the team in targets, and most of his production came on a 43-yard catch in the final minute of the first half, which set up Baltimore's third touchdown. The 2023 first-round pick out of Boston College has caught 24 of 29 targets for 244 yards through four games, but Flowers is still searching for his first NFL touchdown heading into his Week 5 introduction to the Ravens-Steelers rivalry.
Sep 24, 2023
Takes on top role
Flowers recorded eight receptions on 10 targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 22-19 overtime loss to the Colts.
ANALYSIS
Flowers was the primary beneficiary of Odell Beckham's (ankle) absence, and doubled the target number of any other pass catcher in Baltimore's offense. He was limited to modest output due to his role, as he was targeted in only short areas of the field and turned in a long gain of only eight yards. However, that shouldn't be a big concern moving forward as Flowers entered the game with three receptions of more than 20 yards and one of more than 40. In addition, Rashod Bateman (hamstring) suffered an injury toward the end of the game, which could result in even more opportunity for Flowers heading into a Week 4 matchup against a stingy Cleveland defense.
Sep 19, 2023
Makes downfield grab in win
Flowers caught four of five targets for 62 yards and added a six-yard carry in the Week 2 win over the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The rookie continues to impress early in his career. Flowers' big highlight Sunday came on an impressive 52-yard reception between Bengals defenders, showing a downfield element that was not explored as much in the season opener. Baltimore spread the ball around more in Week 2 as Mark Andrews returned to the fold, so Flowers' target volume was cut in half. Still, Flowers was efficient with his opportunities and is off to a strong start overall. Baltimore hosts Indianapolis in Week 3.

Racks up catches in pro debut
Flowers brought in nine of 10 targets for 78 yards and rushed twice for nine yards in the Ravens' 25-9 win over the Texans on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Flowers' pro debut was even more impressive than the numbers indicate when factoring in Lamar Jackson completed just 17 passes for 169 yards overall. The rookie's longest catch went for a relatively modest 21 yards, but after averaging 15.3 yards per reception in his four college seasons, the short-area role he filled Sunday isn't likely to be the norm. Flowers will look to build on his status as Baltimore's leading receiver across the board when he faces the Bengals on the road in Week 2.

Dominates opening drive
Flowers played one drive and caught both of his targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Monday's preseason game at Washington.
ANALYSIS
Playing with Baltimore's backups against a Washington defense that used only three or four projected starters, Flowers caught a pair of short passes and avoided a tackle on both plays en route to gains of 11 and 26 (TD). He did his damage while lined up across from fellow rookie first-round pick Emmanuel Forbes, who otherwise played well in the first half. Flowers is locked in as one of Baltimore's top three WRs to start the regular season, and he could even be the first or second option if Odell Beckham and/or Rashod Bateman struggles to regain his form after a prolonged absence. It's unclear if Flowers will play in the preseason finale against Tampa Bay on Saturday, but he should get a lot of snaps Week 1 when the Ravens host the Texans (Sept. 10).
Aug 12, 2023
One touch in preseason debut
Flowers didn't officially draw a target and rushed once for one yard in the Ravens' 20-19 preseason win over the Eagles on Saturday night.
ANALYSIS
Flowers' quiet stat line is a bit deceiving, as the rookie first-round pick drew illegal use of hands and defensive holding penalties over a three-play sequence that straddled the end of the first quarter and the beginning of the second. Flowers was also guilty of a penalty in his own right, getting whistled for a false start on the Ravens' first offensive play. A mixed bag of a debut now behind him, Flowers will aim to get on the stat sheet as a receiver for the first time when Baltimore tangles with the Commanders on Monday night, Aug. 21 in its second preseason game.
Aug 12, 2023
In line to play Saturday
Flowers is slated to play in Saturday's preseason game against the Eagles, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers, the rookie first-round pick, has flashed during his first training camp and is vying for a starting spot in a wideout corps that includes Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman (foot). Lamar Jackson and most of Baltimore's other starters won't be playing in Saturday's exhibition, so Flowers should be one of the top targets during his first NFL game action, though he'll probably be limited to only a few series.
Aug 2, 2023
Making case for starting job
Flowers has made a strong case for a starting job during training camp while fellow wide receiver Rashod Bateman (foot) has remained absent, ESPN's Jamison Hensley reports.
ANALYSIS
Bateman has been on the active/PUP list for over a week now, and while that doesn't necessarily mean he'll be ready for the start of the regular season, it at least lends to concern that he won't be at this best early on. That wouldn't be at all atypical for a wideout coming back from a season-ending Lisfranc injury, though the Ravens were optimistic about their 2021 first-round pick earlier this offseason. With some of that optimism perhaps waning, the team's 2023 first-rounder (Flowers) has stepped up alongside Odell Beckham to form a solid duo for Lamar Jackson in practice. The Ravens have two other wideouts with considerable NFL starting experience, Nelson Agholor and Devin Duvernay, but in terms of likely fantasy contributors with potential for considerable target volume it's probably a three-way race between Flowers, Beckham and Bateman. So far, Beckham and Flowers are winning that race, both showing strong in training camp while Bateman lingers on the PUP list.

Returns from illness
Flowers (illness) returned to practice Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers reportedly got off to a strong start at training camp last week before missing a few practices due to a stomach bug. He's back after a few days and will continue competing for a role in a WR room that includes Odell Beckham, Rashod Bateman (foot), Nelson Agholor and Devin Duvernay.
Jul 29, 2023
Practicing soon
Flowers, who has missed the past two practices due to a stomach bug, is expected to return early next week, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens have had a number of players not participating in the early portions of training camp due to various reasons, but it seems as if the 2023 first-round pick simply was dealing with an illness that shouldn't sideline him too much longer. Flowers will aid a dramatically different receiving group from last season that sees the arrival of veterans Odell Beckham and Nelson Agholor along with the potential return of Rashod Bateman (foot) and stud incumbent Mark Andrews.
Jul 28, 2023
Making strong early impression
Flowers has made a strong first impression on and off the field, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers has displayed terrific shiftiness, earning the nickname "The joystick" from quarterback Lamar Jackson, with whom the rookie first-round pick is already building chemistry. Flowers has also done all the right things when it comes to preparation, both in meetings with the coaching staff and in the weight room. The receiver out of Boston College is set to play a prominent role out of the gate in a new-look Ravens offense that's looking to employ a more pass-heavy attack led by tight end Mark Andrews and the wide receiver trio of Flowers, Odell Beckham and Rashod Bateman (foot).
Jun 14, 2023
Practices Tuesday
Flowers (undisclosed) participated in Tuesday's minicamp practice, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers had missed some time during the team's OTAs due to what coach John Harbaugh said was a "minor tweak." However, according to Brown, the 2023 first-rounder ran routes crisply and showed no sign of discomfort while working in Tuesday's session. Looking ahead, the rookie out of Boston College has an opportunity to become a key cog in a Baltimore pass-catching corps that will also feature fellow wideouts Rashod Bateman (foot) and Odell Beckham, along with star tight end Mark Andrews.
Jun 6, 2023
Suffers minor tweak Tuesday
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Flowers (undisclosed) suffered a minor tweak Tuesday but is expected to participate in mandatory minicamp next week, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Flowers appears to have been shut down during Tuesday's practice, and the Ravens are opting to be cautious with their rookie first-round pick. Baltimore has high hopes for the Boston College product, who should play a major role in what is expected to be an improved passing attack that'll feature Rashod Bateman, Odell Beckham and Mark Andrews.

Baltimore swoops in
The Ravens selected Flowers in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 22nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore's spotty track record with drafting receivers in the first round aside, Flowers fills an immediate need for the Ravens with Rashod Bateman's injury track record and Odell Beckham being on just a one-year deal. The Boston College product was the third receiver taken in this class and he has impressive production in his prospect profile. Flowers (5-foot-9, 182 pounds, 4.42 40) caught 29 touchdowns over four seasons while carrying what was an otherwise anemic passing attack. It will be a challenge for Flowers to ascend in the target pecking order with Bateman, Beckham and Mark Andrews in the fold, but he could have the inside track at a slot role in a new-look offense designed by Todd Monken.
