Updated on Nov. 1, 2026 in Football
Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers has 608 receiving yards on 40 receptions with three touchdowns through seven games. His eight-catch, 137-yard, one-touchdown performance against Cincinnati came in a 35-13 Ravens loss.
Why it matters
Flowers has become a central piece of Baltimore's passing game, and his production could shape how the Ravens attack Buffalo's secondary on Sunday. The Cincinnati game showed the offense struggled to sustain production after halftime.
Through seven games Flowers has produced 608 yards on 40 catches and three touchdowns, averaging 15.2 yards per reception. Buffalo allows 286 passing yards per game, and Dee Alford has appeared on the Bills' injury report.

Timeline

Against Cincinnati: Flowers caught eight passes for 137 yards and a touchdown in a 35-13 Ravens loss.
Sunday: Baltimore faces Buffalo in Week 8.
Season Trajectory
Flowers' 608 yards through seven games place him among Baltimore's top receiving producers this season. The Ravens' passing identity now runs through a receiver rather than the run-heavy model that defined the team's 2019 offense.
Flowers' 40 receptions and 15.2 yards per catch make him a strong option for fantasy managers heading into Sunday. Buffalo's allowance of 286 passing yards per game with Gardner-Johnson out gives Flowers a favorable matchup on paper.
The takeaway
Flowers has become the Ravens' most reliable target in the passing game, and his role will be tested against a Buffalo secondary missing a key safety. Fantasy and betting observers should track his usage in Sunday's matchup.
What happens next
Baltimore faces Buffalo on Sunday in Week 8, the next scheduled opportunity for Flowers to add to his totals.
