Is Zay Flowers playing tonight? Why Ravens WR is off to quiet start vs. Lions originally appeared on The Sporting News
Wide receiver Zay Flowers is a key contributor to the Baltimore Ravens' offense, yet he's off to a quiet start in the Week 3 game against the Detroit Lions.
Drafted in the first round in 2023, Flowers followed up a strong rookie campaign with his first 1,000-yard season in 2024. Through two games this season, Flowers leads the Ravens in receiving yards with 218 and looked primed to take the next step in his career.
So, what's behind his slow start in the Week 3 game against the Lions on Monday night? Here's a closer look.
Is Zay Flowers playing tonight?
Yes, Flowers is active and in the lineup, he just hasn't been targeted yet.
The Ravens only ran six plays on the opening drive thanks to a long touchdown run by Derrick Henry. They then went three-and-out on the second drive, which further limited Flowers' chances of getting going.
It's just a matter of time before Lamar Jackson finds him, though.
