6 Wide Receivers to Target Late in Your Fantasy Football Drafts
Kamar Aiken, Baltimore Ravens
In Kamar Aiken's second full season as a starter in 2015, he racked up 75 catches for 944 yards. But what's even more promising is the number of looks Aiken saw in the offense last year post-Steve Smith injury.
The Baltimore offense ranked second in pass-to run ratio at 63.83% last season, and Aiken was a large part of that passing game, ranking 21st amongst wide receivers at 7.9 targets per game. The second half of 2015 is where Aiken really got going -- after the Ravens Week 9 bye, he averaged 10.4 targets per game over the last eight games, a mark that would have tied him for the sixth-most targets over that time span.
Despite playing with backup quarterbacks -- Joe Flacco was injured during much of Aiken's starting time -- Aiken was able to turn five of his final seven games into top-20 PPR performances at the wide receiver position. If Smith has a hard time getting back on the field and if the other wideouts in Baltimore aren't able to step up, Aiken could see a lot of volume in what should be a pass-happy offense.
