Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith was technically active for Sunday's game, but after aggravating his knee injury in pregame warmups, he barely saw the field. Instead, second-year receiver Kamar Aiken filled in, and scored his second career touchdown while the Ravens beat the Miami Dolphins, 28-13.

Aiken caught six balls on seven targets Sunday, good for 65 yards and the third-quarter touchdown that proved to be the winning points. Aiken -- who didn’t have a target during his 2013 rookie year -- had 189 yards and a touchdown on the season entering Sunday, with no more than four catches in a game.
Fantasy impact: Unfortunately, this likely doesn't herald much for Aiken the rest of 2014. Steve Smith was still around for the Ravens with 70 yards and a score himself, and there's not much reason to think Torrey Smith will miss Week 15.
Ultimately, this looks like a one-shot deal for Aiken, though in super-deep dynasty leagues, he might be worth a look for 2015 with Steve Smith getting older and Torrey Smith heading into free agency. Aiken’s role could increase next season.
