Givens caught just two of the seven balls thrown his way for 25 yards in Sunday's 16-13 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Quarterback Joe Flacco tried to keep Givens involved by throwing to him a healthy seven times, but the veteran receiver failed to capitalize. Givens hasn't been much of a factor this season, even with his increased role in the wake of Steve Smith's season-ending Achilles injury.

Givens caught four passes for 37 yards and a touchdown on seven targets in Sunday's 22-20 loss to the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
With Steve Smith (Achilles) out for the season, Givens and Kamar Aiken were the starting wide receivers. Givens struggled to get open against man coverage, but he did find a soft spot in a zone for an easy 14-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter. Although Aiken is the clear lead target, Givens surely earned himself at least one more week as the No. 2 wide receiver. The matchup will be much tougher this time around, with Baltimore facing the Rams instead of the Jaguars.

Givens is listed as the starter across from Kamar Aiken on the Ravens' latest depth chart, the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Steve Smith (Achilles) out for the season, the Ravens will likely look to Givens for big plays and to Aiken for short and intermediate gains. Not that both players won't get a variety of opportunities, but Aiken is the clear favorite to lead the team in targets, especially with Givens likely to be on a short leash in the starting role. Givens has mostly been unimpressive to this point in his career, but his deep speed could mesh well with Joe Flacco's big arm.

With Steve Smith (Achilles) out for the season, Givens is one of five healthy wide receivers on Baltimore's active roster, the team's official website reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens hauled in three of his four targets for 57 yards in Sunday's win over the Chargers, receiving extra playing after Steve Smith (Achilles) was injured. Smith's snaps and targets will likely be divided among a slew of players, but Givens and Kamar Aiken are the most intriguing options of the bunch. The Ravens have a Week 9 bye, followed by a Week 10 home game against the Jaguars.

Givens caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Givens didn't play many snaps and surprisingly didn't get any looks down the field, but with Marlon Brown still struggling, both Givens and Jeremy Ross have the opportunity to push for more playing time. Though he seems like a nice fit with Joe Flacco's big arm, Givens is unlikely to see more than three or four targets in any given game. Steve Smith is still the only Baltimore wide receiver worthy of consideration in most leagues.

Givens (ankle) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the 49ers, the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens has yet to catch a pass for the Ravens, so a wait-and-see approach is on order from a fantasy perspective until his role in the team's offense is clarified.

Givens (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in San Francisco, the Baltimore Sun's Jeff Zrebiec reports.
EDGE Analysis
Givens saw two targets in his Ravens debut last week, and while he could get another deep look or two during Sunday's game, his role still figures to be ver limited. If he doesn't play, it could leave a few more snaps for Jeremy Ross.

Head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Givens will be included in the Ravens' game plan for the team's Week 5 matchup with the Browns, Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun reports.
EDGE Analysis
Harbaugh did not say exactly how or how much Givens will be involved, but it appears the Ravens will be counting on him in the passing game right off the bat. With Steve Smith (back) and Breshad Perriman (knee) out for Week 5, Givens figures to be either No. 3 or No. 4 on the wide receiver depth chart in his team debut.

Givens was traded to the Ravens on Saturday for a conditional draft pick.
EDGE Analysis
Givens clearly wasn't going to see much production with the Rams considering he saw only a single target in the first three games of the season, so his outlook should be much better in Baltimore. With Steve Smith dealing with a back injury, Michael Campanaro (back) out for the season, and first-round draft pick Breshad Perriman (knee) needing surgery, Givens will compete with Kamar Aiken and Marlon Brown for targets from Joe Flacco.

Givens did have the best rush attempt for the Rams in Sunday's 12-6 loss to Pittsburgh with 24 yards, but was not targeted once.
EDGE Analysis
That's two straight games in which Givens has not been targeted, as he has all but fallen out of the wideout rotation. The Rams did utilize his speed with a rush attempt, but with as many skill players as St. Louis uses, Givens is only going to get one or two chances a game to gain yardage.
