BALLER MOVE: Pick up in 10+ team leagues
OWNED IN: 36% of Fleaflicker Leagues
ANALYSIS: Amidst an abundance of injuries in Baltimore, Kamar Aiken has emerged as the team's number one receiver. Aiken has averaged a little more than ten targets and six catches in his last three games, with two touchdowns and 203 receiving yards over that span. He has been a relatively steady option all season, but is now capable of putting up bigger numbers with Crockett Gillmore and Javorius Allen as the only real threats to take away some of his looks.
His numbers and his skill won't knock your socks off, but he seems to fit into the Ravens' offense even better now with backup quarterback Matt Schaub under center. Aiken runs his routes to shorter areas of the field, exactly where Schaub can be efficient throwing the ball. Schaub isn't exactly Joe Flacco, but the two seem to be meshing well together.
The Ravens average one red zone touchdown a game and could see more opportunities to bump that up against Miami this Sunday. According to Yahoo! Sports, the Dolphins allow the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers and surrender 253.3 passing yards a contest.
Aiken is a solid WR3 option, and should be plugged into lineups in deep 12-16 team leagues, especially those of PPR format.
