7. Marlon Brown-WR-Baltimore Ravens (1.5%)

Back on Thursday Night, Jacoby Jones sprained his MCL and is expected to miss 4-6 weeks. Jones was in a great spot to step up into fantasy relevance, but now will be spending time on the sideline. In his place, the Ravens will start Marlon Brown in his place who can seize the opportunity and go from an undrafted free agent right into fantasy relevancy.

He hauled in four passes for 65 yards and a touchdown and was targeted six times by Joe Flacco. Flacco could use the big wide receiver in the end zone with Dennis Pitta injured and Ed Dickson inconsistent in his time at tight end. Brown could play his way into a big role and is definitely worth a look  in almost all formats.

Baltimore will look to right the ship after a tough week one against the Browns on Sunday. I think Baltimore will recover nicely, and that Marlon Brown will be a part of that recovery.
