Kamar Aiken-WR-Baltimore Ravens (28.6%)

The Ravens’ Kamar Aiken is going to get a ton of work as the team’s top pass-catching option now that Steve Smith has been lost for the season. Aiken is a little risky since he hasn’t served as a team’s top receiver before, but getting a top pass-catching option at this point in the season represents a very rare opportunity.

Aiken has shown some flashes of production this season including hauling in all six passes thrown his way last week finishing with 62 yards. He has four games with at least 60 yards this season, but he also has three games with under ten yards. He’ll need to be much more consistent the rest of the season, and he should get the volume to make that happen.

This week, the Ravens come back from their bye week as they take on the Jaguars. His upcoming schedule has some nice matchups against the Browns, Dolphins, Chiefs, and Steelers. The Ravens throw the ball around quite a bit, so there is a huge opportunity for Aiken if he can rise to the occasion. He has the upside to be a WR2, but he’ll need to be more consistent going forward.
