Outlook Zay Flowers

Newly Extended Primary Target Poised for Another High-End WR2 Season

Coming off a career-best 2025 campaign where he posted 91 receptions for 1,269 yards and secured a four-year contract extension, Zay Flowers enters 2026 firmly cemented as Baltimore's primary wide receiver. Operating from the slot and perimeter alongside Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman, Flowers remains the focal point of the Ravens' aerial attack for Lamar Jackson.

In 1.0 PPR drafts, Flowers' ADP has remained remarkably steady around the round three-four turn (ADP ~39). Our season projection forecasts 82 receptions, 1,200 receiving yards, and eight total touchdowns (246.0 fantasy points), confirming his market price represents reliable WR2 draft-day value rather than an overhyped reach.

A minor preseason quad contusion caused a brief scare, but latest updates confirm he is on track for Week 1. Fantasy managers can roster Flowers with complete confidence as an every-week starter with high-end weekly upside.

Outlook Tee Higgins

Prime WR2 Anchor with High-End Scoring Upside in Cincinnati's Potent Passing Attack

Tee Higgins enters the season firmly entrenched as a primary perimeter target in Cincinnati's dynamic aerial attack opposite Ja'Marr Chase. Coming off an 11-touchdown campaign across 16 games in 2025, Higgins has consistently demonstrated elite efficiency against man coverage and reliable red-zone chemistry with quarterback Joe Burrow.

Our projections forecast another productive campaign, pegging Higgins for 82 receptions, 1,015 receiving yards, and 10 touchdowns on 117 targets (224.0 PPR points). His heavy involvement in scoring territory ensures a dependable weekly fantasy baseline alongside considerable multi-touchdown upside.

After hovering in the late third round throughout July, his ADP has softened toward pick 51 entering September. This market discount makes Higgins a premier draft-day value, offering locked-in WR2 production with weekly WR1 upside at a mid-round price tag.
