Welcome to the 2025 Fantasy Football WR vs. CB Matchup Report for Week Twelve—your essential guide to navigating one of the most pivotal weeks of the season. With several fantasy-relevant wide receivers sidelined by injuries or stuck on bye, lineup decisions have never been more challenging—or more important. Every matchup matters as the playoff race intensifies, and this report breaks down WRs primed for big games and CBs ready to shut things down. We’ll also spotlight recent trends to help you separate signal from noise and share my Week Twelve WR rankings so you can see how these matchups translate into fantasy value. Let’s dive in and make sure your lineup is playoff-ready.  

   
Left WR vs Right CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier WeaverARI0.7 / 0.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian BraswellJACSafe
Xavier Weaver saw an expanded role in Week 11 with injuries to both Marvin Harrison and Zay Jones and played a season-high 74% of snaps. Weaver ended up seeing just 3 targets and finished with 2 receptions for 15 yards. Despite the increased opportunity, Weaver is still the fourth option in this passing offense and should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Darnell MooneyATL4.8 / 3.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Alontae TaylorNOSafe
The Atlanta Falcons will officially be without starting QB Michael Penix for the rest of the season, and Drake London is expected to miss Week 12 as well. This means Darnell Mooney should be competing with TE Kyle Pitts and RB Bijan Robinson to be the #1 option in the Falcons passing offense. That would be a change of pace for Mooney, who has not topped 3 receptions since Week 3 and hasn’t surpassed 50 receiving yards since Week 7. Although he’s been underwhelming up to this point, I have Mooney as a borderline top 30 WR for Week 12 with the increased opportunity he should see due to the injuries around him.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tylan WallaceBAL1.5 / 1.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Brandon StephensNYJModerate
Tylan Wallace finished Week 11 without a reception on just one target despite playing his highest percentage of snaps since Week 3. Wallace should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Gabe DavisBUF7 / 5.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kamari LassiterHOURisky
Gabe Davis finished Week 11 with 3 receptions for 40 yards on 4 targets. I wouldn’t want to play Gabe Davis in a great matchup, so he should be avoided in the difficult matchup against Houston this weekend.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tetairoa McMillanCAR14.4 / 12
CornerbackOppMatchup
Renardo GreenSFSafe
Tetairoa McMillan had the best game of his young career, finishing the Panthers Week 11 matchup with 8 receptions for 130 yards and 2 TDs on 12 targets. It certainly helped that QB Bryce Young threw for a season-high 448 passing yards and if Young can continue to play well, that would do wonders for McMillan’s weekly ceiling. He’s in a great spot to put together back-to-back solid games going up against a 49ers defense that was beat up last week by the Arizona Cardinals passing attack. I’ve got McMillan as a borderline top 12 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DJ MooreCHI9.4 / 7.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Joey PorterPITRisky
DJ Moore was quiet once again in Week 11 finishing with just 1 reception for 18 yards on 3 targets. It’s really difficult to trust DJ Moore in your fantasy lineups at this point with just 1 reception over the last two weeks combined, but he’s still a full-time player in this offense that could bounce back at any point. I’ve got Moore just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tee HigginsCIN13.6 / 11.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian GonzalezNERisky
Tee Higgins finished Week 11 with 3 receptions for 63 yards and a TD on 8 targets. This now marks 5 touchdowns in the last 4 games for Higgins, who will be operating as the Bengals WR1 in Week 12 while Ja'Marr Chase is out with a suspension. There’s a good chance that Higgins is shadowed by Patriots standout CB Christian Gonzalez, but he’s a must-start regardless. I’ve got Higgins as a top 12 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Cedric TillmanCLE7.5 / 6.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kyu KellyLVSafe
Despite it being just his second game since Week 4, Cedric Tillman led all Browns pass catchers with 52 receiving yards while catching 3 of his 4 targets. Shedeur Sanders will make his first career start in Week 12, so it remains to be seen how the offense will look with a new QB under center. Despite the plus matchup against the Raiders, I’ve got Tillman just outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
George PickensDAL20 / 17.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Quinyon MitchellPHIModerate
The Dallas Cowboys passing offense is pretty straight forward. CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens were the only two Cowboys WRs with more than 1 reception, with Pickens finishing with a team high 9 receptions for 144 yards and a TD on 11 targets. Pickens has now had 9+ targets in 3 straight weeks and is a must-start every week at this point. I’ve got Pickens just inside my top 15 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Courtland SuttonDEN 
CornerbackOppMatchup
N/AN/AN/A
The Denver Broncos are on bye in Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jameson WilliamsDET12.4 / 10.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Cordale FlottNYGModerate
It was a down week for the Detroit Lions passing offense, but that didn’t stop Jameson Williams from keeping his hot streak going. Williams finished with 4 receptions for 88 yards and a TD on 7 targets. Jamo has now had 6+ targets and 60+ receiving yards in each of the last 3 games since the Lions bye, and has scored a touchdown in each of the last three games as well. Williams is in a great spot to make it a 4th straight strong showing this week against the New York Giants beatable secondary. I’ve got Williams as a borderline top 15 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Romeo DoubsGB11.5 / 9.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Isaiah RodgersMINModerate
Romeo Doubs once again led all Packers pass catchers with 8 targets in Week 11, finishing with 4 receptions for 53 yards. Doubs has now seen 8+ targets in 4 of the last 6 games but has not found the end zone since Week 4. Doubs should continue to have a pretty solid floor if the targets remain consistent, but the upside just isn’t there if he doesn’t score a touchdown. I’ve got Doubs just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Nico CollinsHOU16.1 / 13.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Christian BenfordBUFModerate
Nico Collins continued his recent dominance in Week 11, finishing with 9 receptions for 92 yards and a TD on 10 targets. Collins has had no issue playing with backup QB Davis Mills and has now had double digit targets in 3 straight games. The first half of the year was concerning, but Nico is firmly back into must-start territory moving forward. I’ve got Collins as top 10 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Alec PierceIND11.9 / 10.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Trent McDuffieKCRisky
Alec Pierce is coming out of the Colts Week 11 bye on absolute fire, with 7+ targets in 3 out of the last 4 games and 65+ receiving yards in 4 straight games. Pierce has been much more than just a deep threat, although that’s still been a huge part of his game as well. If he continues to see similar volume to go along with the big play ability he possesses, he could be in for a big second half of the season. He’ll face one of his toughest tests of the season at Kansas City in Week 12, but I still have Pierce as a borderline top 24 WR this week.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Brian ThomasJAC10.7 / 8.8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Denzel BurkeARIModerate
Brian Thomas has been a limited participant in practice to start the week and is aiming to play in his first game since Week 9. BTJ had been one of the more disappointing picks for fantasy managers prior to the injury, so it’s going to be tough to trust him in his first game back from injury, especially with the challenge that the outside CBs for Arizona present. I’ll likely have BTJ just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 12 if he ends up being active.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Hollywood BrownKC10.5 / 8.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Sauce GardnerINDRisky
Hollywood Brown finished Week 11 with 4 receptions for 40 yards on 4 targets. This marks back-to-back weeks with 4 targets for Hollywood, whose production has taken a significant dip since the return of Rashee Rice. I’ve got Hollywood outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Tre TuckerLV12.5 / 10.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tyson CampbellCLESafe
Tre Tucker finished Week 11 tied for second in targets with RB Ashton Jeanty, finishing with 4 receptions for 47 yards and a TD on 8 targets. It was looking like Tucker was going to have a disappointing fantasy day until he found the end zone late in the game. This was Tuckers first game seeing more than 6 targets since Week 3. I’ve got Tucker just outside my top 30 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Quentin JohnstonLAC 
CornerbackOppMatchup
N/AN/AN/A
The Los Angeles Chargers are on bye in Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Davante AdamsLAR16.3 / 14.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Benjamin MorrisonTBSafe
The Rams offense is about as straight forward as it gets. You start Davante Adams and Puka Nacua every week regardless of matchup, and nobody else. It was an off day for Adams and QB Matthew Stafford in Week 11, with Adams seeing 8 targets but only being able to bring in one reception. Thankfully, the one reception ended up being a 1-yard touchdown, so his day wasn’t as bad as it could have been. Adams remains a must-start option and is a top 10 WR for me in Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaylen WaddleMIA 
CornerbackOppMatchup
N/AN/AN/A
The Miami Dolphins are on bye in Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Justin JeffersonMIN14.9 / 12.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Carrington ValentineGBModerate
Justin Jefferson once again led Vikings pass catchers with 9 targets and finished with 5 receptions for 61 yards. Jefferson has had 9+ targets every week since Week 4 but the high-upside weekly finishes that we’ve become accustomed too from Jefferson just haven’t been there with J.J. McCarthy at QB. Jefferson still has the talent for that to change any given week, so you’re keeping him in your lineup regardless of matchup. I’ve got Jefferson as a top 12 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Kayshon BoutteNE11 / 9.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
DJ TurnerCINRisky
Kayshon Boutte is practicing in full to start the week and is trending toward returning to action after missing the last two games due to a hamstring injury. Prior to his injury Boutte had been a very boom-or-bust fantasy option, although he had been more boom than bust the last time we saw him on the field. Prior to leaving the Patriots Week 9 game early with the hamstring injury, Boutte had scored a touchdown in three straight games and had 75+ receiving yards in two out of his last three games. Boutte will have a challenge in front of him on the snaps that he lines up against Bengals standout CB DJ Turner. If he’s active, I’ll likely have Boutte just outside of my top 40 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mason TiptonNO0 / 0
CornerbackOppMatchup
A.J. TerrellATLRisky
Mason Tipton is expected to step into a larger role after Brandin Cooks was released but should be avoided in all formats by fantasy managers until we see some type of production. Tipton has only been targeted twice this season and has not had a reception.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jalin HyattNYG1.2 / 1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Amik RobertsonDETSafe
Jalin Hyatt played a season-high 61% of snaps in Week 11 and finished with 2 receptions for 18 yards on 4 targets. The fact that Hyatt’s 18 receiving yards was a season-high should tell you all you need to know when it comes to his fantasy relevance. Hyatt should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Adonai MitchellNYJ2.8 / 2.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Chidobe AwuzieBALModerate
Adonai Mitchell led all Jets pass catchers in targets in just his second game with the team and his first game as an active member of the Jets but finished with just 1 reception for 10 yards on 6 targets. Mitchell had a couple of tough drops but continued to flash his talent as a natural separator. Mitchell should be avoided until we see some consistency with his production.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
A.J. BrownPHI12 / 9.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
DaRon BlandDALSafe
There wasn’t a lot of production to go around with QB Jalen Hurts only completing 14 passes for 135 yards, but A.J. Brown was the most productive Eagles WR in Week 11 with 7 receptions for 49 yards on 11 targets. The 11 targets were the most Brown has seen this season, and the first time he crossed double digit targets since Week 3. Hopefully his involvement can carry over this week against a beatable Cowboys secondary. I’ve got Brown as a borderline top 15 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
DK MetcalfPIT12.5 / 10.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Nahshon WrightCHISafe
QB Aaron Rodgers is reportedly nursing a wrist injury and it’s starting to show up in his play. Rodgers completed just 9 passes for 116 yards, with not much to spread around to DK Metcalf and the rest of the Steelers weapons. Metcalf was still able to finish with 5 receptions for 49 yards on 8 targets and should be the only Steelers WR you’re considering starting at this time. I’ve got Metcalf just inside my top 24 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jauan JenningsSF9.9 / 8
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaycee HornCARRisky
Jauan Jennings finished Week 11 with 4 receptions for 54 yards on a team-high 6 targets. This can probably be more of what to expect from Jennings moving forward with the other offensive weapons in San Francisco getting healthy. I’ve got Jennings just outside of my top 24 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaSEA24 / 20.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darrell BakerTENSafe
You’re starting Jaxon Smith-Njigba regardless of matchup and you don’t need me to tell you that. He finished Week 11 with 9 receptions for 105 yards on 12 targets and has had 90+ receiving yards in 6 straight games. I’ve got JSN firmly inside my top 5 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Emeka EgbukaTB16.5 / 14.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Emmanuel ForbesLARModerate
Emeka Egbuka caught 5 passes for 40 yards on 9 targets in Week 11. Egbuka led all pass catchers in targets and receptions once again, which is what we should expect in Week 12 against a tough Rams secondary. Although the matchup is difficult, Tampa Bay will likely need to score to keep up in this game and Egbuka is likely to be the top option once again. I’ve got Egbuka as a top 10 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Elic AyomanorTEN7.3 / 5.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Riq WoolenSEARisky
Elic Ayomanor finished with just 2 receptions for 11 yards despite finishing second among Titans pass catchers with 6 targets. Ayomanor could end up being the top Titans WR rest-of-season with Calvin Ridley set to miss the rest of the season due to injury, but that role isn’t expected to be a fantasy friendly one. I’d be trying to get away from Ayomanor this week against a tough Seattle secondary. I’ve got Ayomanor outside of my top 50 WRs for Week 12.

Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Michael WilsonARI8.8 / 6.9
CornerbackOppMatchup
Montaric BrownJACSafe
We knew Michael Wilson would have an increased role in the Cardinals offense with all of the injuries they were dealing with at the WR position, but I don’t think anyone could have predicted 15 receptions for 185 yards on 18 targets. It’s unlikely that QB Jacoby Brissett will complete 47 passes again this week, but Wilson is positioned for another productive week with Marvin Harrison ruled out once again for Week 12. I’ve got Wilson as a borderline top 20 WR for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
David SillsATL0.7 / 1.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Kool-Aid McKinstryNOSafe
David Sills finished Week 11 with 1 reception for 11 yards on 2 targets. Despite the injuries that the Falcons offense is dealing with, Sills should be avoided in all formats.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Zay FlowersBAL13.4 / 10.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Qwan'tez StiggersNYJModerate
Zay Flowers finished Week 11 tied with TE Mark Andrews for the team lead in both receptions and targets but finished with a line of just 3 receptions for 78 yards on 5 targets due to QB Lamar Jackson only completing 14 passes. There’s a decent chance that Baltimore won’t need to throw much this week against the Jets to win the game either, but Flowers should continue to be the top WR for this offense. I’ve got Flowers just inside my top 20 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Joshua PalmerBUF5.9 / 4.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Derek StingleyHOURisky
Joshua Palmer was active for the first time since Week 6 and finished with 2 receptions for 17 yards on 5 targets. While it’s great to see Palmer back on the field for the Bills, fantasy managers should stay away in the difficult matchup against the Texans in Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Xavier LegetteCAR7.6 / 6.3
CornerbackOppMatchup
Deommodore LenoirSFModerate
Xavier Legette finished Week 11 with 4 receptions for 83 yards and a TD on 8 targets. It was encouraging to see someone other than McMillan step up for this Panthers passing offense, but this is likely largely due to Bryce Young having his most productive game of the season. I wouldn’t chase the fantasy points here despite the plus matchup. I’ve got Legette just outside of my top 45 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Rome OdunzeCHI14.1 / 12.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Darius SlayPITModerate
Rome Odunze led all Bears pass catchers with 6 targets in Week 11, but finished with just 2 receptions for 41 yards. Odunze has operated as the #1 target in the Bears passing offense the majority of the year, although that role has led to inconsistent fantasy production ever since the Bears Week 4 bye. Odunze is still my highest ranked Bears pass catcher, just inside my top 20 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Mitch TinsleyCIN1.4 / 3.1
CornerbackOppMatchup
Carlton DavisNEModerate
Mitch Tinsley is expected to see increased snaps in Week 12 due to the one game suspension that Ja'Marr Chase will serve this week. Tinsley should be avoided in all formats despite the increased opportunity. If you’re looking to start another Bengals WR outside of Tee Higgins this week, it should be slot WR Andrei Iosivas.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jerry JeudyCLE7.3 / 5.7
CornerbackOppMatchup
Eric StokesLVModerate
The struggles continued for Jerry Jeudy in Week 11, finishing with 3 receptions for 21 yards on 7 targets. Jeudy has now seen 19 total targets over the last two weeks, but the quality of targets (or lack thereof) has kept fantasy managers from being able to trust Jeudy in their lineups. Maybe rookie QB Shedeur Sanders will bring some life to this offense, but I’m not very optimistic that will be the case. I’ve got Jeudy just outside of my top 40 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
CeeDee LambDAL16.7 / 16.2
CornerbackOppMatchup
Adoree' JacksonPHISafe
There’s not much that needs to be said here. CeeDee Lamb is a must start every week, and this week is no different. The 66 receiving yards in Week 11 was actually a season low, but he still found the endzone and had a productive fantasy day. I’ve got Lamb inside my top 5 WRs for Week 12.

Christian WatsonGB11.9 / 10.4
CornerbackOppMatchup
Byron MurphyMINModerate
Christian Watson was the most productive Packers WR in Week 11, finishing with 4 receptions for 46 yards and two touchdowns on 5 targets. Watson has now seen at least 4 targets in every game since he made his season debut in Week 8, but this was his first big boom game of the year. We know that Watson is capable of doing this, but he’s also been capable of immediately letting fantasy managers down following a big week as well. I’ve got Watson just outside of my top 24 WRs for Week 12 as a boom-or-bust WR3.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jayden HigginsHOU6.7 / 5.5
CornerbackOppMatchup
Tre'Davious WhiteBUFModerate
Rookie Jayden Higgins finished with 4 receptions for 55 yards on 7 targets and has now had 7 targets in back-to-back weeks. Higgins snap percentage also increased slightly for the third straight week as he appears to have secured a full-time role in the Texans passing offense. Despite the increased role, Higgins is still a risky flex play on the weeks he doesn’t score a touchdown. I’ve got the rookie just inside my top 45 WRs for Week 12.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Michael PittmanIND15.3 / 12.6
CornerbackOppMatchup
Jaylen WatsonKCRisky
Michael Pittman had an uncharacteristically quiet game in Week 10 with just 2 receptions for 19 yards on 2 targets. This was the first game Pittman had less than 7 receptions since Week 6, so I wouldn’t expect this to be the norm moving forward. The down side is that things won’t get any easier for Pittman coming out of the Colts bye, matched up against a stingy Chiefs secondary. I’m expecting the target volume to get back to what it’s been the majority of the year, so I still have Pittman as a top 20 WR despite the difficult matchup.
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD PPG
Jakobi MeyersJAC9.6 / 7.4

In just his second game with his new team, Jakobi Meyers led all Jaguars pass catchers with 5 receptions for 64 yards on 6 targets. The WR room could get a little more crowded if Brian Thomas makes his return this week, but I’ve got Meyers just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 12.

Mekhi BlackmonINDModerate
Xavier Worthy underwhelmed fantasy managers once again in Week 11, finishing with 3 receptions for 25 yards on 5 targets. Worthy has now had 3 receptions and less than 30 yards in back-to-back games making it difficult for fantasy managers to trust him despite the big play ability that he possesses that could pop up at any time. I’ve got Worthy just outside of my top 30 WRs for Week 12.

Jordan Addison was targeted 7 times in Week 12, but finished with just 2 receptions for 20 yards but saved his fantasy day with a touchdown. He could have had a bigger day if it wasn’t for the two drops, which I wouldn’t expect to be a consistent issue with Addison. The Packers secondary isn’t the easiest matchup, but I’ve got Addison just inside my top 30 WRs for Week 12.

Mack Hollins finished Week 11 with 4 receptions for 64 yards on 5 targets. The 5 targets was third among Patriots pass catchers and was just half the targets he saw the previous week.

Isaiah Hodgins stepped into a larger role with Darius Slayton missing Week 11 due to an injury, and ended up playing 79% of snaps and finished with 5 receptions on 6 targets for a team-high 57 receiving yards. Hodgins could be a desperation flex play if Slayton is once again inactive in this plus matchup, but I’d be looking for better options. I’ve got Hodgins outside of my top 60 WRs for Week 12.

John Metchie only saw three targets in Week 11 but made the most of them by catching all 3 targets for 45 yards and a touchdown. I wouldn’t be shocked to see Metchie emerge as the top WR for the Jets, but that’s probably not going to be a very valuable role for fantasy purposes. I’ve got Metchie outside of my top 60 WRs for Week 12.

Tez Johnson finished with just 1 reception for 6 yards on 3 targets in Week 11. Johnson has some boom-or-bust to his game given his skill set, so these games are to be expected. It’s a tough matchup against the Rams this week, but I’ve got Johnson just inside my top 40 WRs for Week 12.

Although it’s still not an easy matchup, the Texans are slightly more vulnerable against slot WRs than they are outside WRs, so I’ll have Shakir just inside my top 30 WRs if he’s active.

Brandin EcholsPITModerate
Luther Burden looks like he’s starting to secure a more consistent role in the Bears offense, playing 40%+ of snaps in back-to-back weeks for the first time in his career. Burden finished with 3 receptions for 27 yards on 5 targets and head coach Ben Johnson said that he thinks Burden has earned the increased snaps. With the struggles DJ Moore has been going through recently, it’s not crazy to think that Luther Burden could be the second option in this passing offense in the near future. I’ve got Burden just inside my top 45 WRs for Week 12.

It was a struggle for Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 11, finishing with just 2 receptions for 42 yards despite being targeted 12 times. Struggling against the Eagles is nothing new for WRs that line up in the slot, so it’s easy to excuse this poor showing given St. Brown’s track record up to this point. I would expect Amon-Ra to bounce back against the Giants poor secondary. I’ve got St. Brown right back inside my top 5 WRs for Week 12.

Christian Roland-WallaceKCModerate
It hasn’t been the breakout season many fantasy managers were hoping for coming into the 2025 season, who saw his snaps reach a season low 47% in the Colts last game prior to their Week 11 bye. It’s unlikely for things to get any easier this week against the Chiefs, but with so many WRs either injured or on bye, fantasy managers might still need to rely on Downs. I’ve got Downs outside of my top 40 WRs for Week 12.

Garrett WilliamsARISafe
Parker Washington was underwhelming in Week 11, finishing with just 2 receptions for 20 yards on 2 targets. The good news for Washington is that the Arizona Cardinals passing offense is most vulnerable to slot WRs, where Washington lines up for around 60% of his snaps. Washington will likely be bunched together with Brian Thomas and Jakobi Meyers just inside my top 40 WRs.

Rashee Rice had his least productive game since coming back from suspension, which wasn’t a huge surprise given the difficult matchup against the Denver Broncos. Even in a down week, Rice still managed 6 receptions for 38 yards on 9 targets. Rice remains a must-start given his involvement in the Chiefs offense. I have Rice as a top 5 WR for Week 12.

Stefon Diggs finished Week 11 with a team-high 11 targets and turned those into 9 receptions for 105 yards. Diggs has had 19 targets over the last two weeks, and although he didn’t score last week, he had scored a touchdown in the previous three games. Diggs is unlikely to see much of any DJ Turner and should have the opportunity to be productive once again this week. I’ve got Diggs as a top 12 WR for Week 12.

Chris Olave has been the #1 target in this offense the majority of the season, and although Brandin Cooks was not very involved before his release, this should just further solidify Chris Olave as the only Saints WR you should care about for fantasy purposes which was the case even before Cooks’ release. I’ve got Olave as a top 12 WR for Week 12.

Wan’Dale Robinson once again led all Giants pass catchers in targets, finishing with 4 receptions for just 36 yards on 9 targets in Week 11. Robinson’s week-to-week upside is somewhat capped due to his role in this offense, with three straight weeks with less than 6 yards per target. Given the volume Robinson sees on a weekly basis and the plus matchup, I’ve got him as a top 24 WR for Week 12.

DeVonta Smith fantasy managers felt the pain from the underwhelming passing performance from Jalen Hurts in Week 11, finishing with just 1 reception for 8 yards on 5 targets. This was the least amount of targets Smith has seen in a game since Week 6, but he’s in a great spot to bounce back against Dallas this week. I’ve got Smith as a top 20 WR for Week 12.
