It will certainly take a few things to work in his favor, like the Ravens becoming a top 5 passing team, or injuries taking out Bateman and OBJ, but there is a world where Zay Flowers becomes a fantasy steal. With multiverses being so popular at the box office lately, imagine a scenario where Flowers is thrust into an every-down role because of nagging injuries to the starters. He's uncoverable in the slot, looks like his role model Steve Smith Sr., and Jackson has evolved as passer. He uses his slippery wiggle to make plays after the catch and becomes a reliable weekly WR3.
Unfortunately, there is an equally possible scenario where the receivers stay healthy, or the passing game struggles to gel and Flowers is deployed sparingly as he develops as a young player (much like Steve Smith Jr.). If you've noticed a boom/bust sort of theme to this Ravens outlook you aren't wrong. Draft them in the right spot and they could contribute to a championship run. Overdraft, or rely too heavily on any one guy, and disaster could loom. Either way, I think Flowers is a year away from being a bigger part of offense, but don't be afraid to make him a priority waiver add.

 Rashod Bateman put on PUP list
Received a “cortisone-type” shot in his foot last month

|  | Ravens WR Rashod Bateman was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list to start training camp, per @FieldYates. He has been dealing with a foot injury that caused him to miss the last 9 games of 2022. It wouldn’t be surprising if he missed the first week or two of camp. (ESPN - Jamison Hensley)
FFToday's Take: Bateman cannot seem to buy a break when it comes to his health, as groin injuries as a rookie and a Lisfranc sprain last season have limited him to 18 games through two seasons. Fantasy managers got a taste of what he is capable of early last season with long touchdown catches in the first two games, but the foot injury in Week 4 marked the beginning of the end for him and his fantasy usefulness. Bateman has WR3 upside if he can get right, but Odell Beckham Jr. and rookie Zay Flowers stand to benefit the most if he can't.
