Zay Flowers

Bateman caught 45-of-67 targets for 756 yards and nine touchdowns en route to the PPR WR40 finish. His latter three receiving statistics are all regular season career-highs. Bateman remains a somewhat volatile producer week-to-week but intriguingly closes 2024 with his second-best yards per route run average (1.72). Fantasy managers should expect him to build on this strong showing next year. Bateman's field-stretching role is made easier by wide receiver Zay Flowers and tight end Isaiah Likely's continued development, giving Bateman decent odds of breaking into the WR3 ranks in 2025.

Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers went through a pregame test of his injured knee, but team decision-makers didn't see enough for him to play today.

Flowers did not practice this week

Ravens WR Zay Flowers (knee) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Bills. He remained sidelined in practice all week and would be uncertain for the AFC Championship if the Ravens win this one. Flowers' absence leaves WR Rashod Bateman and TEs Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely as Baltimore's best target bets.

Flowers went through a short pregame workout before the Ravens made his status official but his inability to practice all week made him a long shot to play. Rashod Bateman gets another shot at playing the Ravens' No. 1 wide receiver role but tight ends Mark Andrews and Isaiah Likely will assuredly challenge him for the team lead in targets. The Ravens also declared RB Rasheen Ali, C Nick Samac, OLB Adisa Isaac, DT Josh Tupou, S Marcus Williams and S Beau Brade inactive.
