Fantasy Football: 5 must-start wide receivers for Week 12
By Brandon Ray
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.
