Lamar Jackson’s return to the lineup on Thursday is great news for everyone other than the Miami Dolphins. Ravens fans and fantasy football managers alike rejoice — as well as Zay Flowers. Baltimore’s WR1 has sorely missed his quarterback, and now they’re reunited for TNF against the Dolphins. But this makes his player prop market much more challenging to evaluate.
Looking at the odds for this week’s Thursday Night Football matchup, the Ravens are favored by 7.5 points and hold -440 odds on the moneyline on DraftKings Sportsbook. The Dolphins have +340 odds to win outright, with the game total set at 51.5 points. Now, let’s dig into my favorite Zay Flowers prop bet for Thursday’s game.
Best Zay Flowers Prop Bets
It’s a good night if you’re involved in the passing game. On a down-to-down basis, the Dolphins have one of the worst secondaries in the league. Through eight games, Miami is allowing a whopping 7.1 yards per passing attempt, ranking 26th in the league. That is great news for Lamar and his pass catchers.
Another thing working for Flowers is the lack of Ravens’ defense. They’ve been one of the worst units in the NFL this year, and even against a mediocre Dolphins offense, there will be struggles. It puts the burden on Jackson, Flowers, and the rest of Baltimore’s passing game to make up time with a lot of passing looks.
Flowers has been a dependable receiver for yards and catches on a weekly basis. With Lamar back in the fold, he’s going to lean heavily on his top receiver to move the chains. Expect a lot of targets going Flowers’ way in this one and a lot of production. It’s good to have this duo back.
