Only because the real focal point sat this week due to injury

Hype train is chugging....
After hearing the consistent drumbeat all summer, and not being a believer in Bateman (and understanding that OBJ's best days are behind him), he was a priority draft target of mine and I own him in all leagues. That being said, I'm not yet ready to crown him as the next AB. Excited, intrigued, and cautiously optimistic? You bet. However, he is one terrific game into his rookie season. Nothing is proven yet. In fact, it's always possible that his value is higher right now than it will be at any point in the season....just sayin'

That's one of the better comp's I've heard here, until the catch point, then Flowers becomes something else altogether. Very fun player to watch, he's electric.Love this guy. So much fun to watch

That Cleveland Pass D is legit. We'll see what he's truly made of this week.
Yea but how many BEFORE the catch
A few thoughts here:
1.) I think Week 1 was a mirage based on Mark Andrews being out.
2.) Raven's offense limits his upside. He is way better than Tank Dell, but Dell plays on a shot team that loves to pass.
In a vacuum, Flowers is the superior talent but since we're playing magic football Tank Dell is a "better player'. Wild.

I've been starting him on one team, but now that C. Watson is back, he's likely back to the bench unless he/the Ravens passing game heats up.

Is this as simple as dont believe in Harbaugh? Or did this guy put himself in the dog house

Benchable until he does something noteworthy again. Today was atrocious.

Gameflow? Baltimore won the Detroit and Seattle games in the first half. There will be better days.

I really thought Monken was gonna make Lamar into a QB. He just isn't and I can't be convinced of it any longer. He is NOT a good throwing QB and at this point, likely never will be.
That said, Zay is STILL the real deal, and will have monster games and some duds, because that's just what being a Raven seems to be at WR.
But my goodness, is this kid a baller.

He makes at least 2 guys whiff every time he touches the ball. Don't get why they can't get him the ball more than 3-5 times a game.

Cos they haven't really needed to! Been winning comfortably most weeks.
Suspect he's going to get more work going forward now though.

Was there a link to this? Deeply annoyed that it got called back, but so glad I drafted him in both leagues…..

That was a 14 point TD off the board, and a five point bonus in my league, absolutely killer
He's a guy who if you look at numbers he's a drop
But if you watch him play, you just can't let go of him, I can't believe they dont get him the ball more.
Maybe with Andrews out now he's going to get some of that intermediate stuff despite being radically different physical profiles.
Dude is just quicksilver

Flowers (hip) was spotted on the field at practice Friday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Flowers didn't practice Thursday, so his presence on the field Friday is a positive step ahead of Sunday's game against the Chargers. The Ravens' final Week 12 injury report will be released later Friday and will clarify whether Flowers heads into the weekend with an injury designation.

Kid helped me win in 2 leagues this week ....love his potential going forward

1-7-0 line from Flowers tonight after 2 big weeks. No Andrews. Instead of going to Flowers, Jackson just insists on chucking it to any TE on the roster.
Going to be trying to trade him in my dynasty this offseason cause he's forever going to be too inconsistent with Lamar at the helm.

I think you'll wind up regretting that. I did not love Zay coming out of the draft, but as far as actual play on the field, I think he's been one of the most impressive rookies overall. If you insist on moving him, I hope you at least get a good return. I think he'll be the 2nd look behind only Andrews by next season. And Andrews has only played one full season in his career without missing time with injury; not knocking his worth, but rather just saying he will likely continue missing a few games every year and ceding those touches to someone else. Bateman is a JAG, Wallace is a special teamer, and the rest are on deaths door step/cut candidates.

I traded for Flowers mid-season, and I was kind of surprised the owner let him go. He could rack up Antonio Brown type numbers in the right situation, though I agree that Lamar Jackson throwing to him is not the right situation. He still put together an impressive rookie season under the circumstances.
