Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) remained sidelined for Thursday's practice. He's looking more likely than not to miss this weekend's game vs. the Browns, but we'll update his status again tomorrow. Jackson's absence would again leave QB Tyler Huntley under center. Huntley played fine in the Week 5 win over the Falcons, completing 75% of his passes with 2 TDs and 0 INTs. But he averaged just 6.3 yards per attempt, and the Ravens leaned run with a -2.5% pass rate over expected. We'll likely see another conservative, run-leaning attack if Huntley starts Sunday's game.

Flowers’ high-end target earning showed in the Ravens overtime win over the Falcons. He hauled in eight of his team-high 9 targets for 53 yards and added 13 rushing yards, finishing as a WR2 despite not accounting for a TD. That makes nine straight games of WR2 or better finishes for Flowers dating back to last season.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (foot) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week, but we’re not expecting the foot to be an issue in this one. QB Lamar Jackson’s absence drops Flowers into WR2 territory in the Week 5 rankings.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (foot) is expected to play vs. the Falcons tonight, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Flowers was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but we never sensed any real concern about his availability for this one. QB Lamar Jackson's absence is a bigger issue than the foot. Flowers checks in 16th in the Week 5 WR rankings.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (foot) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game vs. the Falcons. It’s a new injury for Flowers, who dealt with hamstring trouble earlier this season. We haven’t heard anything to suggest that he’s in danger of missing this game, but hopefully we get an update on Flowers’ status on Sunday morning.

Ravens QB Lamar Jackson (ankle) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Falcons. While his injury reportedly isn’t serious, Jackson didn’t seem particularly close to playing in this one. Consider him iffy for Week 6. Jackson’s absence leaves QB Tyler Huntley under center for Baltimore. He posted 186-1-0 and 107-1-0 passing lines in 2 starts last season, totaling just 42 total attempts. Expect a run-heavy attack from the Ravens this week.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Ravens QB Lamar Jackson has "only an outside chance to play" against the Falcons in Week 5 because of the ankle he sprained in Baltimore's Week 4 victory.

Ravens HC Jesse Minter admitted Monday that QB Lamar Jackson is uncertain for Sunday night's game vs. the Falcons after spraining an ankle in the Week 4 win over the Titans. "I don't think it's going to be crazy long-term," Minter added. It doesn't sound like Jackson is facing an extended absence, but fantasy owners should get a backup plan in place for Week 5. Jackson's absence would leave Tyler Huntley under center for Baltimore. He owns a career 67% completion rate but just 5.9 yards per attempt. Huntley played 2 full games last year and posted 186-1-0 and 107-1-0 passing lines. He'd clearly be a big downgrade for WR Zay Flowers and the rest of Baltimore's passing game.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers got his largest playing-time share so far this season in Sunday's win over the Titans. He stayed on the field for 73% of the snaps and ran a route on 91% of dropbacks. That marked a big rise from Flowers' mere 31.1% playing time through his first two appearances this year -- surrounding a missed week -- and 48.1% route rate. Flowers wound up with 8 catches for 118 yards and a TD among 10 targets, leading the team in each category. The numbers would have been even larger if QB Lamar Jackson hadn't left early with a left-ankle injury.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Titans. He was listed as questionable after going limited, full, limited in practice this week. But ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported this morning that Flowers won’t be on a “hard pitch count” today. Get him in starting lineups.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Titans today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Flowers went from a limited practice on Wednesday to full participation on Thursday but was limited again on Friday. He's listed as questionable. There's still some added risk here, but Flowers would be nearly impossible to leave out of Week 4 fantasy lineups. He's posted 6-150-1 and 5-84-0 lines in his 2 games this season, despite playing limited snaps in both.

Update: ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Flowers won’t be on a “hard pitch count” today. We’re not sure exactly what a soft pitch count looks like, but it at least sounds like Flowers should exceed last week’s 33% snap rate.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Titans. He went from a limited practice on Wednesday to full on Thursday to limited on Friday. It’s unclear if that was a pre-determined plan or if Flowers had a setback. We’ll look for more info on his status and get Baltimore’s inactives around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) was upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. Flowers was clearly on a pitch count last week, playing just 21 snaps (33%). He still delivered a 5-84-0 receiving line and is now at an absurd 9.4 yards per route on the season. It looks like Flowers is ready for a full-time role vs. the Titans this weekend, making him an elite fantasy play.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers led the team in targets (6), receptions (5), and receiving yards (84) in Sunday’s win over Dallas. He ran a route on only 63.6% of Baltimore’s pass plays after entering the game questionable with a hamstring injury.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Cowboys. He only got in a limited practice on Friday and was reportedly a game-time decision for this one. Multiple reports this morning said that Flowers would be limited if he played. He’s a risky fantasy play, but there’s certainly upside against a bad Dallas secondary.

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms colleague Jeremy Fowler's Saturday report that Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) will work out pregame before a decision is made on his status for today's tilt with the Cowboys. But Schefter adds, "the team doesn’t sound as if it is counting on him playing." That's been our vibe after Flowers only got in a limited practice on Friday this week. We won't get Baltimore's inactives until a little before 3 pm ET. But, barring a more positive report, Flowers should be on fantasy benches.

ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) will work out pre-game before a decision is made on his status for Sunday's tilt with the Cowboys. Fowler adds that Flowers "will likely be on a pitch count" if he does play. That would leave fantasy managers in a tough spot. We'd rather see Flowers sit out one more game, especially with shoddy field conditions in Brazil. But we'll keep you updated on Baltimore's plans.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cowboys in Brazil. He only got in a limited practice on Friday but did travel with the team. It’s worth noting that there are concerns with the field conditions at Maracana Stadium, which could impact Flowers’ status for this one. We’ll keep you posted on the situation, but fantasy owners should still not be counting on Flowers in Week 3 lineups.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reports that Flowers is traveling with the team to Brazil, so he's no ruled out yet for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. Fantasy owners still shouldn't be counting on Flowers in Week 3 lineups, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a surprise after he got in a limited practice last Friday and has him looking very iffy for this weekend's game against the Cowboys in Brazil. We'll see if Flowers is able to get back on the field tomorrow. But, for now, fantasy owners should not plan on him being available for Week 3 lineups.
