2 weeks Ago By Mike Moraitis
The Baltimore Ravens are hoping to have wide receiver Zay Flowers active for their Week 8 game against the Cleveland Browns , but his status remains up in the air because of an ankle injury. Flowers suffered the ankle injury during the Week 7 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers . The former first-round pick didn't practice over the first two days of the week before logging a limited session on Friday and drawing a questionable tag.
The lack of a full session all week suggests that Flowers is on the wrong side of questionable, but there remains hope that the wide receiver could suit up for the matchup against the Browns. Here's the latest on Flowers' status for the Week 8 game. Zay Flowers injury update According to ESPN's Adam Schefter , Flowers is expected to play on Sunday against the Browns despite the ankle injury.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport adds that Flowers' status will be checked pregame before an ultimate decision is made and nothing is certain as of now. Flowers drew a positive review from ESPN's Jamison Hensley during practice on Friday, with the ESPN reporter noting that the wide receiver ran onto the field that day and "was even dancing off to the side before the start of practice." "It looks like he will be ready for Sunday’s game at the Browns," Hensley wrote.
Zay Flowers fantasy football advice Prior to getting banged-up last week, Flowers had posted back-to-back 100-yard games for the Ravens in the two weeks prior, which put him on the map as an every-week starting option. The Browns have been very giving to wide receivers this season, with Cleveland ceding the fifth-most fantasy points per game to the position. The Ravens wideout can be deployed as a WR2 if he's active and should be in lineups every week.
