Kamar Aiken, wide receiver, Baltimore Ravens
With Steve Smith and Dennis Pitta both banged up in 2015, Aiken was left to act the part of Joe Flacco’s favorite target in Baltimore. He responded by putting up 75 receptions for 944 yards and five touchdowns. To put this into perspective, those 944 yards represent more than Aiken has put up in his other four NFL seasons combined.
In reality, what was saw in 2015 was likely an outlier for the 27-year-old former un-drafted free agent. On the same note, the 328 yards Aiken recorded last season is probably his absolute floor moving forward.
Aiken could surely be used as a solid No. 3 receiver for about half the teams in the NFL. The reason why we haven’t seen much of a market for him is that teams are likely focusing their attention at wide receiver on the draft.
Once the dust is settled there, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see Aiken land on a team that’s preparing a prominent role for him. He was under-utilized by Baltimore last season. That likely won’t be the case in 2017.
