BALLER MOVE: Add in Deeper Leagues

ANALYSIS: It was truly heart wrenching to see Steve Smith Sr.'s career potentially end due to a ruptured Achilles Tendon on Sunday. A true warrior and pretty much Joe Flacco's main option in the passing game this season. Things continue to get worse in Baltimore, but from a fantasy perspective, this could open up some new opportunities.

Chris Givens was acquired  in a deal with the Rams and is poised to have an expanded role with the Ravens. His speed could see him grow into Joe Flacco's deep threat, which obviously has value in fantasy. Flacco had already been targeting Givens deep down field, and I only expect that to continue.

Givens is not the safest of options, but the upside he brings to the table is plenty of reason to add him. Not only that but Kamar Aiken was likely added the first time Smith went down, and other receivers like Malcolm Floyd are probably gone too.
