2025 Fantasy Outlook

Opportunity & Volume

• Maintains ~25–26% target share (~116 targets in 2024) with elite route and snap participation

• Ravens added DeAndre Hopkins, but OC Todd Monken emphasized increasing usage:“We’ve just got to get (Flowers) the ball more...”Takeaway: Volume likely steady or slightly increased, especially with scheme intent to feature him more.

Efficiency & Explosiveness

• Ranked top‑5 WR in explosive-play metrics

• YPR (14.3) and YAC (6.3) metrics show strong big-play ability

Red-Zone & TD Efficiency

• 4 touchdowns on 116 targets = low TD rate (~3.4%)

• In red-zone (inside 20), only had a total of 8 targets in the Red Zone

• Takeaway: TD upside limited - needs red-zone volume to boost scoring.

Headliner Take

Zay Flowers enters the 2025 fantasy football season as a key piece in the Ravens’ passing attack after a productive 2024 campaign where he recorded 74 receptions for 1,059 yards and 4 touchdowns on 116 targets. Flowers accounted for roughly 25% of Baltimore’s target share while showcasing strong efficiency with 14.3 yards per catch and 6.3 yards after the catch per reception. His big-play ability was evident, ranking among the league’s most explosive wideouts, though his touchdown production remained low in a run-first offense. With consistent usage, top-tier route participation, and no significant injury concerns heading into 2025, Flowers profiles as a low end WR2 option with big-play upside, though touchdown volatility could limit his week-to-week consistency and cause headaches throughout the season.
