Flowers avoided knee surgery this offseason after missing the team’s playoff run with an LCL sprain he suffered in week 18 against the Browns. The soon-to-be 25-year-old is eligible for a contract extension next offseason. If he stays on the field, he could be in for a career year with increased usage and the added motivation to get paid.

Monken pointed to Flowers’ “elite route-running skills” and RAC ability when asked about the team’s plan to use him going forward. As far as offseason coach-speak goes, this headline from the Ravens’ offensive coordinator holds traction. The team used a sixth-round pick on a receiver, but did nothing else to make fantasy players think Flowers won’t be even more of a presence in the offense in his third year.

Flowers was top 20 in target share in 2024, at 25.7%, and posted a 2.34 yards per route run, good for 17th overall. He has yet to catch 80 balls in a season, however, and only had more than seven targets in a game twice last season after week 8. With Lamar Jackson’s evolution as a pocket passer, Flowers is an intriguing choice in the middle rounds of re-draft leagues and a solid dynasty asset with high upside. He’s the perfect WR2 for most teams.
