The Ravens announced on X that star WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) will miss Week 2’s game vs. the New Orleans Saints. This is not a surprise but is unfortunate, as Flowers started off dominant in Declan Doyle’s new offense, finishing as WR7 while putting up 150 yards and a touchdown on 5 catches halfway through the first quarter prior to injuring his hamstring.
With Ja’Kobi Lane recently placed on IR due to an injury of his own, Rashod Bateman will be the top WR standing for the Ravens. This will also create an opportunity for fellow WR’s Devontez Walker, Elijah Sarratt, and LaJohntay Wester to make a name for themselves. Mark Andrews should also benefit and get increased targets. Fantasy football managers will need to keep an eye on Flowers’ practice reports next week to see if he can return in Week 3.

Garafolo speculates that this wrist injury could keep Ja’Kobi Lane out beyond the Week 1 contest. Very unfortunate for the rookie WR, who also had a TD catch called back earlier in his debut.
Given the injury to fellow WR Zay Flowers, who left the game with a hamstring injury, this could be a tough blow to the Ravens WR corps. 4th round rookie WR Elijah Sarratt was a healthy inactive in Week 1, but would likely be active next week, should either of these injuries keep Flowers or Lane out beyond this week. Head Coach Jesse Minter didn’t have any update in his post-game press conference, so fantasy football managers will need to pay attention in the coming days.
Ravens star WR Zay Flowers left the Ravens’ Week 1 game about halfway through the first quarter with a hamstring injury. He was dominating up until that point, putting up 5 catches for 150 yards and a touchdown before exiting.
Flowers was dealing with a hamstring injury leading into Week 1, so if this is a re-injury there is a possibility he misses up to a month. Fantasy football managers will hope for the best-case scenario here. as Flowers seems primed for a big year in the Ravens’ new offense.
Third-year deep threat Devontez Walker has earned positive early offseason reviews for his field-stretching capability, a vital asset considering his exceptional 4.36-forty speed. However, his limited volume of just seven career receptions means he must continue to fend off incoming rookies Ja’Kobi Lane and Elijah Sarratt to secure the No. 3 receiver role.
The true test for his roster standing arrives when training camp begins and he faces actual defensive coverage in pads. For now, Walker’s fantasy football dynasty stash appeal is at an all-time high.
This is a shot across the box of the USS Tez Walker. Moving to the slot offers Elijah Sarratt advantageous matchups against linebackers but risks reduced usage in two-receiver sets compared to boundary threat Ja’Kobi Lane. While he was primarily a perimeter player in college, Sarratt’s high efficiency in limited slot work suggests he can thrive on PPR-friendly targets.
Despite the May coachspeak, Sarratt’s training camp progress remains critical He must earn his snap share as a Day 3 pick, which could eventually evolve into a consistent fantasy producer. Trapped on the Ravens’ run-first offense, and permanently behind Zay Flowers in the target pecking order, Sarratt is a long-shot to ever break out at the NFL level.
The Baltimore Ravens select WR Elijah Sarratt with the 15th pick in the fourth round (#115) overall.
The Baltimore Ravens just secured an additional weapon in Elijah Sarratt at No. 115, a physical specimen who pairs a 31.2% College Dominator Rating with the strong hands to dominate across all three levels. Sarratt posted a 19.3 Breakout Age (92nd-percentile) and a healthy 2.84 Yards Per Route Run.
From a dynasty perspective, going to Baltimore on Day 3 is recipe to tumble down the rankings as he is the second WR taken by the Ravens in this draft behind Ja’Kobi Lane, but the real winner may be Zay Flowers.
