QB Chaos Creates Major Concerns for Zay Flowers

Ravens WR Zay Flowers missed Sunday’s loss at Buffalo. Lamar Jackson and Tyler Huntley both left with injuries in the first half, leaving Flowers to run routes for third-string rookie Joe Fagnano.

The disastrous QB situation on Sunday gave the Flowers little chance to produce.

Jackson exited after his first fall, and Huntley followed in the final stretch. Baltimore’s offense predictably collapsed, managing just 91 passing yards on 49 offensive plays. The Ravens also converted a miserable 3 of 14 third and fourth downs.

Flowers deserves the blame for dropping a short in-breaking pass. But none of his other four targets were caught, leaving him little chance to overcome offensive struggles.

The Ravens would be wise to pursue a capable veteran QB right away. Jackson appears to be out for the year, and Huntley is looking at a multi-week absence due to turf toe.

If Fagnano remains the starter, Flowers will lose his WR1 appeal and become a more dangerous weekly fantasy option. Even if Baltimore adds an experienced veteran, Flowers will likely struggle to maintain the elite fantasy production he delivered before Week 8.
