Storylines

Zay Flowers grades out as BAL's best

Zay Flowers (WR) is at 75 out of 100 through week 8 of 2026. That score compares him with everyone else at his position — an 84 would mean better than 84% of them — and it comes from charted play, not raw totals.

Where They Stand

Overall: Grade 53, 18th of 32 — around the middle of the pack.

Shape: Nothing stands out at either end of the league. Their best group is the secondary (8th), and their weakest is the offensive line (26th).

Coaching: Jesse Minter falls 4.7 points a game short of what his rosters' grades say he should, over 7 games, 25th in the league.

Offense — better on the field: On the field, the offense has played better than 80% of the league, ahead of a player grade of 58 out of 100.

This season: 4-3. Last time out, they lost to Cincinnati Bengals 13-35.

Since preseason: Down 4.2 points since the preseason, mostly because its coach's record slipped and its defense players graded down (John Jenkins −9 and Zion Young −7).

Written from this club's own numbers: its grade, the offense, defense, special teams and coach that make it up, its last games, its division, and its depth chart. Which facts show up depends on where this club is unusual, so no two teams get the same summary. The site builds the sentences from those numbers. A chatbot does not write them.
