Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 12: Wide receiver rankings
Wide receivers are in the deepest position in Fantasy Football. They are more capable of providing solid weekly value than any other position. This is especially true for Week 12 with a full slate of 16 NFL games featuring all 32 teams.
No team will have a bye week, so fantasy managers will have all healthy options available.
With a long list of legitimate options at wide receiver, it's important to have a strategy when deciding who to plug into the starting lineup in Fantasy Football. Analyzing their recent individual performances and direct weekly matchups is a beneficial way to sort through the options.
NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: Start 'Em
Michael Pittman - Indianapolis Colts vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
Michael Pittman got off to a strong start to the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He finished among the top five wide receivers twice in his first five games this year with new quarterback Matt Ryan. Pittman's production regressed when Ryan was benched.
Ryan is back under center, which should help Pittman's numbers in Fantasy Football for the rest of the 2022 season. Week 12 offers an excellent opportunity to get back on track. The Pittsburgh Steelers allow the most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
Terry McLaurin - Washington Commanders vs. Atlanta Falcons
Terry McLaurin has been a consistent contributor during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has finished within the top 30 wide receivers seven times this season. He has remained solid despite the Washington Commanders making a quarterback change from Carson Wentz to Taylor Heinicke.
McLaurin will look to keep things rolling in Week 12 in an ideal matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. They have struggled to cover wide receivers this year, allowing the fourth-most fantasy points per game to the position.
Christian Kirk - Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore Ravens
Christian Kirk is quietly having an excellent 2022 Fantasy Football season. He currently ranks among the top 10 wide receivers in total PPR points this year. He has also been hot lately, turning in his top two performances of the 2022 season in each of his last two games.
Kirk is in a favorable situation in Week 12 to continue his strong season. Trevor Lawrence will likely have to throw the ball often to keep up the pace with the Baltimore Ravens. They are also one of only eight teams allowing 30 PPR points per game to opposing wide receiver groups.
