Is Zay Flowers playing tonight? (Injury update, betting impact for Steelers vs. Raven

The Baltimore Ravens will be without a key piece of their offense in the wild card round, as wide receiver Zay Flowers has been ruled out with a knee injury.

This is a tough blow for the Ravens in their playoff matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers, but bettors still have Baltimore as a 9.5-point favorite.

Flowers was injured in Week 18 against the Cleveland Browns, and it appears his playoff status is in doubt after he was ruled out so early before this matchup.

In the regular season, Flowers caught 74 of his 116 targets for 1,059 yards and four touchdowns. With the former first-round pick gone, the Ravens will likely lean more on Rashod Bateman, Mark Andrews and others in the passing game.

If you’re looking to bet on this matchup, there’s a prop bet to consider with Flowers out of the lineup.

Rashod Bateman OVER 3.5 receptions (+120)

Earlier this week, SI Betting’s Iain MacMillan shared his favorite accessory In this game with Flowers he is not expected to play.

With Zay Flowers out of the game, the Ravens will rely on Rashod Bateman in the passing game. He had a great performance against the Browns in Week 18, making five receptions on eight targets for 76 yards and a touchdown.

He should thrive again in this spot on Saturday night.
