STM Take

Flowers climbed from STTM #24 tier 3 as a rookie to #19 tier 3 to #7 tier 1 in 2025, his first tier-1 finish. The Lamar-availability story (STTM #21 tier 6 in 2025 with 13 games played) caps the upside, but the Pro Bowl validation alongside a 1,000-plus yard season at 5'9" 183 confirms the role is locked. Two straight Pro Bowls means the league acknowledges him as a top-10 WR.

Flowers was born in Fort Lauderdale as the 11th of 14 children; he lost his mother at age five and his brother during high school. He played four years at Boston College and broke the school records for career receptions, receiving yards, and receiving touchdowns. Baltimore took him 22nd overall in the 2023 NFL Draft. He has made two Pro Bowls (2024, 2025) and accumulated 237 catches for 3,128 yards and 14 TDs across three seasons.

Strengths

  • Two consecutive Pro Bowl nods (2024, 2025) at age 25, with a 1,000-plus yard 2025 season.
  • 237 catches through three seasons at a 5'9" 183-pound frame; the slot-plus-deep-threat versatility is rare.

Concerns

  • Lamar's 2025 13-game season capped the deep-ball volume; another QB-availability year would hit Flowers first.
  • Recent game log includes a 0.6 PPR week (Wk 13); the size means he gets shut out when coverage doubles.

What to watch: Whether Lamar plays a full season in 2026; Flowers's tier-1 case lives on Baltimore's downfield passing volume.

Fantasy Outlook

Zay Flowers scored 26 PPR points, 26 per game this season. Compare him against any WR and track weekly rankings in our fantasy tools.
