The 1-4 Baltimore Ravens host the 3-2 Los Angeles Rams as 7-point home underdogs with Cooper Rush starting in place of an injured Lamar Jackson. The hope was that Rush would be able to hold down the fort for a couple games, but his first try against the Texans last week was a disaster, as he completed 14 passes for 179 yards, not touchdowns and three interceptions in a blowout loss.

Rush’s poor game didn’t keep Zay Flowers from having at least a little fantasy appeal, as he led the team in fantasy points, catching all five of his targets for 72 yards. Unfortunately, Flowers is now dealing with a shoulder injury and is considered questionable for this week’s game.
Zay Flowers injury updates
Flowers was able to get in limited practices all three days and is officially questionable. It would seem that he will likely play with that kind of practice participation, but we have yet to hear any insider information on just how injured his shoulder is.
Fantasy football analysis
With no Lamar Jackson and a bye coming up, the team would likely lean toward sitting Flowers if he is truly questionable. There’s also a chance the Rams take it to this beat up Ravens defense and push the team to sit anyone who they feel isn’t 100% late in the game.
If Flowers does sit, we can’t really feel good about starting other Ravens players in his place. DeAndre Hopkins would likely see a bump, and we know he can make some insane grabs, but the Rams are likely going to eat Rush’s lunch this week.
