Zay Flowers vs Malik Nabers

“Zay Flowers (WR – BAL) is set up for touchdown regression in the best way. Every other receiver who topped 1,200 receiving yards last year scored at least eight touchdowns except him.”

“Zay Flowers is a popular target of the fantasy community due to his ability to separate from defenders, along with Declan Doyle’s new offense. Camp reports have been extremely positive, with a lot of talk that Flowers will be the absolute focal point of this Ravens’ passing game.”

“There’s a world where Zay Flowers has the talent to be a top-5 fantasy WR if he can ever score TDs.”

“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.”

“If he can string together a healthy season, we could be looking at a low-end WR1 on a perennially potent offense.” – Ellis Johnson ( FantasyPros ) Malik Nabers (WR – NYG) “ Malik Nabers is my pick.”

“There is plenty of uncertainty around Nabers and whether or not he will be his usual explosive self to start the season, but getting a WR of this caliber in the third round is the type of pick that can really make a difference down the stretch of the season if he is back to 100%.”

“I’m going to piggyback on my running back health statement above and avoid Malik Nabers at receiver.”

“Only SEC WR besides Malik Nabers with 30+ missed tackles forced on receptions in a season over the past 5 years”

“This should lock him into the second option behind Malik Nabers”

“Add in the fact that Malik Nabers is recovering from a significant knee injury, and you can see why Dart is a pass.”

“Malik Nabers (WR – NYG): Down 4 spots to No. 44 A slow, steady bleed that’s now the longest-running faller trend over the last few weeks. Nabers has slipped roughly 14 spots since we first flagged him in late June for missing mandatory minicamp during a lengthy ACL and meniscus rehab.”

“Malik Nabers, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson all have similar LTV scores in the same range as Love’s.”

“This dip will only increase when Malik Nabers heads to the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of training camp. Latest reports suggest it could be Week 5 or 6 before Nabers is back to full health.”

“Nabers could miss the start of the year and might not be 100% until 2027, making him a massive risk to draft as a top-12 wide receiver.”

“The Giants know what they have in a healthy Nabers, and they know what they have in his absence. If available, he'll be a main focus and favorite target for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, and if he's not, then he won't.”

“Malik Nabers and Tucker Kraft finish outside WR50 and TE20, respectively. Nabers is still way too expensive at WR 17, but he's coming off reconstructive knee surgery, and even Nabers admitted to ESPN's Adam Schefter that week one sounds "a little ambitious."”
