Zay Flowers has recorded 3 receiving touchdowns through 8 games in 2026, leading the Ravens while averaging 8 targets and 76.8 yards per contest on efficient 14.3 yards per reception. Lamar Jackson’s thumb injury and subsequent IR placement, combined with inconsistent backup quarterback play, have sharply reduced Baltimore’s passing volume and red-zone efficiency, contributing to a 4-4 record and Flowers’ recent low-output games including a zero-catch outing. The wideout remains the clear focal point in the passing game with strong yards-after-catch production, but ongoing offensive line and skill-position injuries have limited sustained drives. Upcoming matchups against the Chargers and other lower-ranked defenses offer potential volume increases if the offense stabilizes, though the team’s overall scoring pace remains a key variable for his season-long touchdown total.
