Zay Flowers (hamstring) is doubtful for Week 2
Key Points:
- Ravens WR Zay Flowers missed two practices due to a hamstring injury but returned on Friday, making him a questionable game-day decision for Week 2 against the Saints.
- WR Ja’Kobi Lane is out for at least four weeks following wrist surgery and has been placed on short-term injured reserve, impacting the Ravens' receiving corps depth.
- Rashod Bateman, despite leading the team in routes run last week, has a history of inconsistent production and is not recommended as a reliable fantasy option.
- TE Mark Andrews is expected to handle a significant workload in the passing game, especially if Flowers sits out, while rookie WRs Elijah Sarratt and Devontez Walker may see increased roles.
- The Ravens may consider adding a free agent wide receiver to bolster the position due to injuries to Lane and Flowers, with Flowers' status remaining day-to-day pending further evaluation.
