Whether opponents use zone or man coverage versus Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers, they still can’t account for his impeccable quickness.
Nine catches for 142 receiving yards means Flowers finished week six with a whopping 14.7 yards per catch average versus the Washington Commanders.
With Ravens running back Derrick Henry and quarterback Lamar Jackson demanding attention in the trenches, Flowers, and teammates Mark Andrews and Rashod Bateman have been able to run loose in voids at the intermediate and deep level of the pass defense.

As long as offensive coordinator Todd Monken continues to run a balanced attack, Flowers and others will get their share of targets in the passing game.
Yesterday, Monken totaled 28 first downs, winning the time of possession 36.08 to 23:52. Flowers has been an essential possession receiver, moving the chains when needed, and it’s only a matter of time before he breaks another big play for a touchdown.
