Fantasy Football Player Notes

Zay Flowers is the WR21 in fantasy points per game, with ten deep targets and only five red zone targets. Flowers has all five of his red zone targets in the last five games as the team is using him more often inside the 20-yard line. This week, he faces a Browns' secondary that has utilized single high at the second-highest rate (65%). Against single high, Flowers has eaten with a 30.5% target share, 2.98 yards per route run, and a 35.6% first-read share. Flowers should have a strong game this week. Since Week 6, Cleveland has allowed the 14th-most PPR points per target to perimeter wide receivers.

So the Ravens are back, and so is Henry? The King is kind of back, but hasn't shown his elite upside since Week 1. Failing to crack 20 fantasy points since the electric game against the Bills to open the season, this has been the first year in a long time that Henry has felt more like an RB2 than an elite RB1. Thankfully, he is seeing great volume and has four straight weeks finishing as a top 24 back, despite only scoring two touchdowns over that span. This week, the ravens take on a rock-solid Browns defense, that held Henry to 23 yards on 11 carries in Week 2. On the season, the Browns are allowing the fourth fewest fantasy points to the RB position and the third fewest rushing touchdowns. Depending on your league size, Henry is likely forced into your lineups and should be viewed as a low-end RB2 this week. However, if you're feeling brave and have another option, this may be the time to bench the superstar back.

Mark Andrews has finished as a TE1 in each of the last two games, but touchdowns fueled it. Since Week 9, Andrews has been the TE5 and TE9 in weekly scoring with three red zone targets and three scores. Since Week 8, he hasn't seen more than five targets in a game or finished with more than 34 receiving yards. It has been a tough season for Andrews. We can't depend on him to score weekly to float his fantasy value. Overall, he is the TE19 in fantasy points per game, with a 16% target share, 27.1 receiving yards per game, 1.41 yards per route run, and a 21.1% first-read share. The Browns have held tight ends to the seventh-fewest receiving yards per game and the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game. Sit Andrews this week.
