4.) Zay Flowers vs. Los Angeles Chargers

The Boston College rookie wideout for the Ravens has had downhill production in two of the last three games. In Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks, Zay Flowers had just one catch for 11 yards. Then the following week against the Cleveland Browns, he was targeted 6 times and caught 5 passes for 73 yards (12 fantasy points).

Last week against the Cincinnati Bengals, he recorded just 4 catches for 43 yards. This might be his stretch of the season where there is a lack of production based on lack of targets. However, Flowers' fantasy stock may have went up with tight end Mark Andrews suffering a potential season ending injury against the Bengals.

The Chargers’ defense has given up a ton of big plays this season and now they will have to find a way to slow down a Baltimore offense that has been steamrolling teams this season. Look for Lamar Jackson to look towards Flowers more than he has if the passing game gets going.
