  "account": "Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Zay Flowers (4) will likely miss the upcoming Week 3 game against the Dallas Cowboys, putting fantasy football owners in a difficult position. The team is being cautious following Flowers' hamstring injury that has sidelined him since Week 1. There's no indication that Flowers will practice for Sunday's match, which could lead to him being inactive for the game. If Flowers is unable to play or practice, starting wide receiver Rashod Bateman (WR) could be a smart move, as he saw significant increases in playing time last week. Running back Lamar Jackson, despite not having Flowers as a target, is still a top-tier QB1. Tight end Mark Andrews, who has benefited from Flowers' limited appearances, remains a low-end TE1 option.",
