Is Zay Flowers playing today? Ravens WR's status revealed for Week 18 vs Browns

Zay Flowers is the primary pass catcher on the rush-heavy Baltimore Ravens. The sophomore wide receiver is Lamar Jackson's favorite target due to his route running, speed, and impeccable hands. His form is a major reason why the Ravens secured a postseason berth with time to spare.

Ahead of Baltimore's regular-season finale, let's examine Flowers' availability.

Is Zay Flowers playing today?

Yes, Zay Flowers is playing today against the Cleveland Browns. The Pro Bowler enters today's game without an injury designation, so he'll feature, barring any unfortunate occurrences.

Flowers has been ever-present this season, and he hasn't missed a match for the AFC powerhouse. His shiftiness is a key part of John Harbaugh's offense, and it has gotten him solid looks anytime he's approaching the end zone.

While Flowers is fit and clear to start against Cleveland, the same can't be said about teammates Jalyn Armour-Davis and Justice Hill. Jalyn Armour-Davis is dealing with a hamstring issue and missed significant parts of training as a result. Hence, he's been ruled out as a precaution to prevent a bigger issue heading into the playoffs. Furthermore, Justice Hill is dealing with a concussion coupled with an illness. He did not practice all week and will be watching from the outside.

How has Zay Flowers performed this season?

Flowers has been phenomenal this season and has been rewarded with his first Pro Bowl nod. The Boston College product is the embodiment of reliability, and he regularly dukes his way out of opposition attention to find the needed separation.

Flowers has amassed a stat line of 73 catches, 1,047 receiving yards, and four touchdowns. His stats are even more impressive when you consider that he compiled them on a rush-heavy Ravens team. The Ravens have Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson, so it's a great feat that the second-year wideout surpassed the 1,000-receiving mark.

The Ravens enter today's game knowing a win will seal their spot as divisional champions. They'll also love to perform well as a team to boost Lamar Jackson's chances of earning his third MVP Award. Hence, expect Zay Flowers to get a ton of targets if the starters aren't rested.
