NFL Week 12 Fantasy Recap: Baltimore Ravens at Cleveland Browns, Kamar Aiken, Javorius Buck Allen, Duke Johnson, Travis Benjamin, Gary Barnidge

Baltimore Ravens

Kamar Aiken (Wide Receiver): Aiken had one of his better games of the season as he looks to be finally fitting into the number 1 wide receiver role in Baltimore. Aiken hauled in 6 of his 10 targets for 80 yards and a touchdown. It is unclear if the quarterback change helped Aiken produce a bit more considering he likely worked with the second team while Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman were expected to dominate first team reps. With those two done for the year (Perriman before he could play a snap) Aiken has been the beneficiary of a ton of snaps in practice and it is beginning to show on the field.

Javorius "Buck" Allen (Running Back): Allen had a pretty solid day running against a porous Browns defense. Allen gained 55 yards on 12 rushing attempts and caught 4 of his 5 targets for 29 yards and a touchdown. Allen looks to be more productive than Forsett so far and could have some pretty big games down the road.

Cleveland Browns

Duke Johnson Jr (Running Back): Johnson had an average game just rushing 7 times for 27 yards while catching 5 out of 6 targets for 23 yards. Johnson's ability to produce fantasy points in the passing game may be coming to an end as Austin Davis is now this new starting quarterback.

Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Barnidge hauled in 7 out of 11 targets for 91 yards. Barnidge was kept out of the end zone and Davis preferred to throw to his wide receivers as the Browns got closer to the end zone.

Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): Benjamin saw his first touchdown since week 3 as he hauled in 6 of 13 targets for 90 yards. Benjamin might see a fantasy revival with Austin at the helm of this offense. Austin likes throwing deep balls and most of them are to Benjamin.
