BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR2
ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has had disappointing performances over the past two weeks but should be viewed as a WR2 heading into Week 5.
Flowers got off to a strong start as he saw double-digit targets in each of the first two games. In Week 1, Flowers brought in six passes for 37 yards. Then, in Week 2, Flowers caught seven passes for 91 yards and a score.

However, over the past two weeks, Flowers has caught just four passes with 30 total yards.
Despite the underwhelming outputs Flowers is still running the most routes on the team and is in position to make plays but the Ravens have instead leaned on Derrick Henry who has ran for over 150+ yards in each game during this stretch.
Facing the Cincinnati Bengals, the Ravens may need to lean on their passing attack more than they have in the past which could open the door for a nice bounce-back outing for Flowers.
Given how often Flowers is on the field and running routes, he remains a solid WR2 this weekend.
