Zay Flowers vs Jameson Williams

“Isaiah Likely is gone, and I don’t think Ja’Kobi Lane or Elijah Sarratt provide the level of incentive to keep me off of drafting the guy who has been the other boundary target next to Zay Flowers for years now.”

“The Fantasy Hitman grabbed his beloved Zay Flowers to be his WR2.”

“The Ballers really like Zay Flowers , who will serve as the primary pre-snap chess piece operating from the Z-receiver spot. This alignment keeps him off the line of scrimmage to dodge press coverage while creating misdirection.”

“The Declan Doyle addition makes me more bullish on Flowers, who was the entire Ravens’ passing game last season.”

“Yet, Zay Flowers’ role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game remains unchallenged.”

“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) My rank – WR19, 45th overall ADP – WR22, 60th overall The Zay Flowers propaganda is making its way around the Redraft streets, but it doesn’t appear the dynasty community is quite as bullish. Well, I’m buying the hype on Flowers.”

“Flowers is just as electric as she was billed coming out of college. He's been Lamar Jackson's No. 1 receiver since the day he was drafted, and at times he's been Jackson's only noteworthy receiver.”

“With DeAndre Hopkins and Isaiah Likely gone, the passing volume may be further consolidated in Flowers' favor. Valued as the WR18 in ECR, Flowers should be in line to smash his ADP if he can simply post a league-average touchdown rate.”

“Flowers finished as the WR4 overall in route participation in 2025, rocking an impressive 29% target share. In terms of efficiency, Flowers finished 12th or better at the position in yards per route run (YPRR), yards per target and yards per team pass attempt last year.”

“Yet, Flowers' role as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the passing game remains unchallenged. Last year, the former Boston College star averaged 14.3 PPR fantasy points per game, a career high. However, he was even better when Lamar Jackson played, averaging 15 fantasy points per game on only 6.9 targets per contest.”

“If you rostered Zay Flowers last season, you know that his WR7 finish in 2025 deserves an asterisk. Hopefully, no one was playing fantasy football in Week 18 (if so, put a rule change up to vote), but that's when Flowers padded his stats with 2 TDs and 138 yards receiving. Half of the time he was "MEH" (between 8 and 12.5 fpts). Zay Flowers finished as a Top-24 WR in just 35% of his games in 2025.”

“Zay Flowers has been a poor man's version of Amon-Ra St. Brown, turning in consistently strong reception and yardage totals. He hasn't scored many touchdowns, but it's possible Flowers gets more red-zone looks under the new Ravens offensive coordinator, Declan Doyle.”

“Jameson Williams is always electrifying to watch, and he’s coming off a season where he caught 65 passes for 1,117 yards and seven touchdowns.”

“Jameson Williams is one of the most volatile wideouts in fantasy. Think back to the beginning of last season, when he gave you dud after dud, making you consider benching him, only to watch him go off in the one time you didn’t start him.”

“Jameson Williams (WR – DET) Anyone who plays in best ball fantasy football leagues loves the thought of drafting Williams. The former Alabama star is one of the most dangerous players in the NFL when at his best and can score a touchdown on nearly any play.”

“Jameson Williams (DET) – ADP 61.9 | WR25 Last season, Williams quietly finished as the WR12, showing what a down year it was at the wide receiver position.”

“What about the WRs? It seems like Jameson Williams is a point of conversation every year, and this year is no different. 2025 was kind of weird for him.”

“Detroit WR Jameson Williams received an honorable mention on this list: “He can fly and is slippery. His speed opens up intermediate cuts.”

“Furthermore, Williams was hard to trust every week, scoring 6.6 or fewer fantasy points in 41.2% of the games, including zero twice. Fantasy players should avoid drafting the former Alabama star at his current fifth-round and WR24 ADP and target a pass catcher with less volatility.”

“Detroit is excited about WR Jameson Williams' trajectory after showing "effort and engagement" during OTAs and developing as a route runner.”

“With a new offensive play caller and a healthy LaPorta expected to reclaim a significant role, Erickson believes Williams could return to being a volatile weekly option. The concern is the inconsistency that comes with relying on big plays and fluctuating target volume.”

“Williams caught fire late last season after Detroit changed play callers and injuries shifted additional targets his way. Specifically, Erickson pointed to the absence of Sam LaPorta as one of the biggest reasons Williams' role expanded. Those conditions have changed.”

“Williams had the best season of his career and has now strung together two consecutive 1,000-yard seasons. Williams is the WR25 in ADP, a rank he has solidly beaten over the last two seasons, as he finished WR19 in 2024.”

“The Lions also hired Drew Petzing as the offensive coordinator after he spent the last three seasons in Arizona. This could create another hurdle for consistency, especially when the offense already features Jahmyr Gibbs, Amon-Ra St. Brown and LaPorta. Unfortunately, it's likely Williams.”
