Zach Thompson gives his top 25 wide receivers for Week 12 for the 2024 NFL season.
It was good to be in blue or with the Bengals if you were a WR in Week 11. The Rams and Lions each had a pair of WR in the top seven, and the Bengals filled in the two other spots on Sunday Night Football with Tee Higgins finishing second behind Amon-Ra St. Brown for the top spot of the week.
Jerry Jeudy and Jauan Jennings also had good weeks while Jaxon Smith-Njiba and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine also finished in the top 10. Which of those players who stepped up can continue their success in Week 12 will largely depend on matchups and target share, so let’s take a look at who you should start and sit this week.
One note before we get to the rankings is that this is a very tough week for bye weeks with the Jets, Jaguars, Bengals, Bills and Falcons getting the week off and leaving 26 teams in the player pool.
We are starting to get some big-name receviers back from injury as well with Nico Collins expected to play Monday and Mike Evans expected back after the Bucs’ bye week.
Here’s how I rank the top 25 WRs to start in Week 12 given the information we have on Monday:
- Amon-Ra St. Brown (at IND)
- A.J. Brown (at LAR)
- Nico Collins (vs. TEN)
- Mike Evans (at NYG) – if ready to return
- Justin Jefferson (at CHI)
- Terry McLaurin (vs. DAL)
- George Pickens (at CLE)
- Zay Flowers (at LAC)
- Puka Nacua (vs. PHI)
- DK Metcalf (vs. ARI)
- Cooper Kupp (vs. PHI)
- Calvin Ridley (at HOU)
- Malik Nabers (vs. TB)
- Jayden Reed (vs. SF)
- Tyreek Hill (vs. NE)
- Ladd McConkey (vs. BAL)
- Jauan Jennings (at GB)
- Marvin Harrison Jr. (at SEA)
- Courtland Sutton (at LV)
- CeeDee Lamb (at WAS)
- Deebo Samuel Sr. (at GB)
- Jameson Williams (at IND)
- Jaxon Smith-Njigba (vs. ARI)
- Cedric Tillman (vs. PIT)
