Zay Flowers Week 5 Outlook - Texans at Ravens

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 2nd 2025, 1:05pm EDT

Zay Flowers is the WR16 in fantasy points per game. He has seen the 13th-most deep targets among wide receivers, but hasn't seen a red zone target yet. Flowers has a 27.5% target share, a 31.6% air-yard share, 2.50 yards per route run (76.3 receiving yards per game), and a 31.5% first-read share. Houston has utilized single-high with 52.7% of their defensive snaps. Against single high, Flowers has seen his target share increase to 32.8% with 2.82 yards per route run and a 34.1% first-read share. Cooper Rush should lean on Flowers this week. Derek Stingley could shadow Flowers, which would impact his outlook. Stingley has followed Mike Evans, Davante Adams, and Calvin Ridley on 50-75% of their routes this season. Stingley didn't allow a touchdown in coverage to any of them, and none of them surpassed 60 receiving yards in his coverage. Flowers should see plenty of volume this week, which hopefully allows him to outkick the tough matchup. Houston has allowed the sixth-fewest PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.
