    There are distinct differences between the two players, but purely from a prospect archetype standpoint, Zay Flowers reminded me a lot of Jahan Dotson as I spent more time familiarizing myself with his analytical profile. In addition to bringing size concerns -- in Dotson's case, people worried that he was too light -- the production metrics simply did not paint a favorable portrait of Flowers. And, just as was the case with Dotson, Flowers' production metrics were weighed down heavily by incompetent quarterback play. I finished my evaluation of Flowers with a fair amount of skepticism, but I reserved a stipulation -- if a franchise decided to invest Round 1 draft capital, I'd give less concern to the lacking production profile. And just as Washington did with Dotson, the Baltimore Ravens signaled Round 1 belief in Flowers as a field-stretcher capable of making a difference at the NFL level.

    Below, you'll find Zay Flowers' Dynasty prospect grade based on five factors. His Peripherals grade is determined by draft capital, breakout age and a few other factors. His Route Readiness grade examines his ability to draw targets and convert them into yards on the five most-common NFL receiver routes. His Volume Potential grade keys in on target share metrics. His Explosiveness grade is determined by YAC and deep-target data. His Yardage Creation grade centers around yards per route run rate, which is the single most important metric for Fantasy receiver evaluation.
