Zay Flowers Active on MNF vs. Lions With Quiet Early Usage

Detroit faces Baltimore’s early receiving leader through two games with Isaiah Likely still unavailable.

Overview

  • The Ravens wideout was on the field from the opening series but had not been targeted early.
  • A long Derrick Henry touchdown followed by a three-and-out limited Baltimore’s initial snaps and Flowers’ opportunities.
  • Through two games, he leads the Ravens with 218 receiving yards and has 14 receptions, including seven in Week 2.
  • Offensive coordinator Todd Monken has leaned on Flowers as a possession option, using quick screens and sweep runs to create touches.
  • With Isaiah Likely out, Flowers and Mark Andrews are expected to handle key third-down looks, a matchup the Lions must scheme for.
