3 Baltimore Ravens players on the upswing entering the bye week 

2. Zay Flowers has not hit a rookie wall for the Baltimore Ravens

Zay Flowers started to hit a rookie wall in the middle portion of the Baltimore Ravens' season. In the first eight weeks of the season, Zay Flowers was averaging 7.6 yards per target and 57.6 yards per game. He also was averaging 1.76 yards per route run. 

However, he hit a bump from week nine through the Ravens week 13 bye week. He was down to 6.3 yards per target and 34 yards per game. He also was down to just 1.04 yards per route run.

However, in the four games since the bye week, he has been even better. Flowers is up to 8.8 yards per target and 62 yards per game On top of that, he is averaging 1.8 yards per route run. 

It has been a tale of two halves for Zay Flowers in the last eight games of his season, but he finished on the upswing. 

Flowers sat week 18, mainly because the team did not need him to play but also because he did have a calf injury that would have held him out. With that in mind, the bye week probably came at the right time.
