Fantasy Football Week 12 Wide Receiver Rankings

For the top five this week , we're giving Reggie Wayne the nod over Larry Fitzgerald. The Titans defense has been improving, especially their secondary, while Wayne is facing a very beatable Houston pass defense.

The remaining top 10 choices this week are all excellent WR2's, and most could fit in your line-up as a WR1.

For the rest of this week's rankings , followed by some notes, read on:

1. Reggie Wayne @ HOU

36. Malcom Floyd vs. KC
37. Braylon Edwards vs. CAR
38. Laveranues Coles vs. CLE
39. Devery Henderson vs. NE
40. Lance Long @ SD

Notes: Don't buy into Sidney Rice's hot streak ending anytime soon. The Chicago Bears' pass defense is atrocious, and Brett Favre and the Minnesota passing offense shows no signs of lowing down.

We like all Seattle receivers this week, and even like Brandon Gibson's chances against the Seahawks (if you're desperate), considering his 17 looks he got last week, at least you'll know he should be involved in the offense.

Our bottom five this week is made-up of the over-hyped Floyd (don't use him), three other guys who haven't done anything recently (and likely won't), and Lance Long, who we actually like going forward.
