Aiken led all Ravens wide receivers with five catches for 50 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Sunday's win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Aiken and tight end Crockett Gillmore were quarterback Joe Flacco's two favorite targets in this one, and the third-year receiver rewarded his quarterback's trust by finding pay dirt for the first time since Week 6. Unfortunately, Flacco will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL, which lowers the upside of any players involved in Baltimore's passing game moving forward.
ravens just signed clausen, not as good as flacco but he used to work with trestman in chicago so he knows the system and he's a better option than schaub who is averaging 1 pick every 11 attempts since start of 2014, aiken will get the workload and i think he can put up pretty good numbers (70-85 yards a week with like 6-7 catches, a TD every now and then) especially against the browns
obviously better in PPR but no problem rolling him out in a 12 team league as a WR2 or FLEX
I think he will still get ya 8-12 in stnadard formats and this week vs Cleveland that game will be a shootout and I would start Aiken, Barnidge, and the Balt TE this week if I had any of them lol
We are talking about the worst pass defense in football vs the Browns and they will throw alot the QB issue makes me worried so Im starting James Jones vs Chicago because he kills them so I will start him and Evans and if Freeman can not go I will flex Aiken and start Bernard and Stewart at RBs

With Flacco down, is Aiken still worthy a WR2?

Who would you pick out of Aiken, LaFell, V Jackson or Steve Johnson? 1 spot open (maybe 2 if west is out next week)
