Ryan Flournoy vs. ARI — Sneaky Flex Upside in a High-Scoring Matchup

Operating as Dallas' primary slot receiver, Flournoy has quickly built momentum after hauling in 11 of 13 targets for 110 yards and a touchdown over his last two games. His offensive role could expand even further if George Pickens, who was limited in practice with shoulder and hamstring injuries, is at all hindered.

Fantasy managers have taken notice of his ascent, pushing his roster percentage up to 42%. We project Flournoy for 3.4 receptions and 42 receiving yards (9.4 fantasy points) against Arizona. In a matchup with shootout potential, he offers viable flex appeal and streaming upside in deeper PPR leagues.
