What happened: Zay Flowers also paces wide receivers in targets per route run (min. 25 routes). He ranks second in EPA per target through Week 3.
Why it matters: Baltimore drafted Flowers 22nd overall in 2023 out of Boston College. He posted 86 catches for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns across 17 games in 2025, and that early efficiency puts him in the top tier to open the 2026 regular season.
By the numbers: Yards per route run: 1st; Targets per route run: 1st; EPA/target: 2nd (min. 25 routes); PFF receiving grade: 92.4, 2nd behind 93.1; 2025: 86 receptions, 1,211 yards, 5 TD in 17 games.
What to watch: Watch his hamstring in pregame work ahead of Sunday's Brazil game against the Cowboys, with Baltimore not counting on him to play.
