Theo Johnson vs Zay Flowers: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Theo Johnson (TE, New York Giants) against Zay Flowers (WR, Baltimore Ravens) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Theo Johnson averaged 7.0 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while Zay Flowers posted 11.8 PPG across 17 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Theo Johnson has his bye in Week 11, Zay Flowers in Week 14. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor Zay Flowers at 11.8 PPG, 4.8 points per game above Theo Johnson's 7.0. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
