Zay Flowers at Cleveland: High-Volume Role Anchors Outlook
Flowers was cleared from the injury report after logging limited practices and carries no designation heading into Cleveland. With Lamar Jackson sidelined by an ankle injury, Baltimore turns to Tyler Huntley, likely condensing the passing attack around Flowers. Over his last two contests, Flowers has dominated the team's looks, securing 16 receptions on 19 targets for 171 yards.
Rostered in 100% of leagues and started in 97%, he remains an integral starter despite a low 39.5-point projected game total. Our models project Flowers for 5.7 receptions, 75 receiving yards, and 15.3 fantasy points. While the backup quarterback situation might temper his explosive touchdown upside, his steady target floor keeps him firmly in lineups as a strong WR2.

Khalil Shakir at Las Vegas — Elevated Slot Role in a Projected Shootout
Shakir continues to create explosive plays out of the slot, highlighted by his 52-yard overtime catch against the Rams where he reached top ball-carrier speed this year. With starting wideout D.J. Moore ruled out for Week 6, Shakir steps into an expanded target funnel from Josh Allen.
He has caught 10 of 11 targets over his last two games, and his start rate has climbed to 27%. In a fast-paced dome matchup with a 53.5 over/under, our projections slate him for roughly 4 receptions and 54 yards (10.5 fantasy points), making him a solid flex option with plenty of after-the-catch upside.
