Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Kamar Aiken has seen a carousel of offensive players around him in the last half of the regular season. Fellow wide receiver Steve Smith was shut down for the year with a ruptured Achilles'. Running back Justin Forsett and quarterback Joe Flacco were lost for the season with injuries in Week 12.
Fantasy football waiver wire, Week 16: Kamar Aiken delivers 128 yards, touchdown in loss
Kamar Aiken continues to produce despite his quarterback. We take a look at the fantasy implications.

Even though Aiken had Jimmy Clausen under center on Sunday, he was able to haul in eight of his 12 targets for 128 yards and a touchdown. It was a season-high performance for Aiken in receptions and yards. Aiken has been a bright spot in an otherwise dismal second-half for the Ravens.
Fantasy impact: Aiken continues to get things done regardless of his supporting cast. He isn't putting up massive numbers, but fantasy owners can rely on him for WR3 production almost weekly. Sunday's performance gave us a glimpse of his weekly upside. The Ravens will look to upset the Pittsburgh Steelers in a division rivalry and Aiken figures to play a large role down the stretch.
