8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 1
James White is only owned in 41% of ESPN leagues, and he could be in for a busy week against Arizona.

Kamar Aiken, WR, Baltimore Ravens

Kamar Aiken's target numbers over the second half of last season were pretty staggering. Starting in Week 10, his targets played out like this: 14, 8, 10, 11, 7, 12, 8 and 13. Those 84 targets were over 30 more than the next-highest on the Baltimore Ravens and almost double the next highest total for a Ravens' receiver, which was 44.

With Steve Smith apparently healthy and Mike Wallace in town, Aiken probably isn't going to average 10.5 targets per game, but with the traditionally pass-heavy Marc Trestman calling plays, Aiken could be a very useful fantasy asset.

The Buffalo Bills aren't an easy matchup, but they allowed the 7th-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers in 2015. Aiken can do some damage in this one. If he does emerge as the top wide receiver in the Baltimore offense, he will carry some nice fantasy value throughout the season, as well.
