Zay Flowers (hamstring) not spotted at practice
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers aggravated a previously rehabbing hamstring injury during a game where he recorded 5 receptions for 150 yards and 1 touchdown before exiting; he is currently considered day-to-day and questionable for Week 2 against the Saints.
- Despite the injury, sources indicate Flowers likely would have returned to the field if it were a playoff game, highlighting his importance to the team and offensive scheme under OC Declan Doyle.
- Fellow Ravens receiver Ja’Kobi Lane will be sidelined for several weeks due to injury, increasing the likelihood that rookie Elijah Sarratt will be active in Week 2.
- Rashod Bateman led all Ravens receivers in routes run during the game and may be considered a Week 2 streaming option if Flowers cannot play, though he is viewed as a low-tier fantasy option.
- Veteran tight end Mark Andrews saw increased targets in the second half and could see a slight boost in fantasy value if Flowers misses time, but currently remains a mid-level TE2 option.
