Since A.J. Green went down with a hamstring injury in Week 11, Brandon LaFell has been Andy Dalton's most targeted receiver.

LaFell has drawn at last six targets per game over the past six weeks, including the game Green left early in the first quarter. He's caught 28 passes for 408 yards and 2 touchdowns, including an 86-yard catch-and-run score against the Houston Texans on Christmas Eve.

In Week 17, Cincinnati hosts a Baltimore Ravens team just eliminated from playoff contention, allowing Ben Roethlisberger to throw for 279 yards and 3 touchdowns.

In the first matchup between the Bengals and the Ravens, LaFell caught 3 of 9 targets for 38 yards. While that production wasn't huge, finding a player with LaFell's volume is difficult at this point in the season.
