Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Kamar Aiken was the team's leading receiver in Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Aiken saw a whopping 14 targets for the day. He caught seven of those targets for 73 yards. He didn't find the end zone and failed to snag any deep ball thrown his way, but Aiken is clearly quarterback Joe Flacco's go-to receiver for the time being.

Fantasy impact: Aiken likely won't fill the void left by Steve Smith Sr., but he's now appearing to be the team's most-targeted player moving forward. Aiken is more of a WR3 in standard leagues. He isn't much of a deep threat and won't rip off huge chunks of yardage on a consistent basis. However, his 14 targets make for a lot of appeal in PPR formats, where he's closer to a WR2 despite minimal upside. Chris Givens was the team's second most-targeted wide receiver with four receptions for 37 yards and a touchdown. Givens is more of a boom-or-bust WR4 moving forward.
Aiken is owned in nearly 50 percent of Yahoo! leagues. He’s worth scooping up in all formats moving forward.
