The Baltimore Ravens and the Detroit Lions are tied at 21-21 after three quarters of this week’s Monday Night Football encounter. In a game in which both sides have been almost perfectly balanced, quarterback Lamar Jackson has had an okayish outing up until this point.

If the Ravens fans have any questions, they aren’t for Jackson, but rather for his wide receiver Zay Flowers, who has been completely absent from the encounter. So far, Flowers has been targeted by his quarterback only once, recording six receiving yards. Till halftime, he hadn’t even been targeted by Jackson.
“Did Lamar forget zay flowers exists?” complained one fan.
“What’s going on with Zay flowers?!?” asked someone.
Fantasy players weren’t happy with the receiver’s performance.

“This is the Zay Flowers experience and the exact reason I couldn’t draft him this year after taking the cold plunge last year. The highs are high, but the lows…the looooows,” explained yet another frustrated fantasy user.
Some took the humorous route.
“Is Zay Flowers even alive at this point?” joked someone.
“Zay Flowers you know yall got a game today right?” said someone else.
Flowers is in his third season in the NFL, having been drafted by the Ravens in the first round of the 2023 NFL Draft with the 22nd overall pick. In college, he played for the Boston College Eagles.
