2011 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings – NFL Week 12

Here’s the LestersLegends’ Week 12 2011 fantasy football wide receiver rankings.

1.  Calvin Johnson vs. Green Bay:  Megatron hasn’t scored since the Lions’ bye week. Good chance to do so against the Packers who have allowed 18 passing scores and 289.3 ypg.

2.  Mike Wallace @ Kansas City:  Averaging 92.2 ypg with six TDs. The Chiefs have been susceptible to passing scores.
 

3.  Greg Jennings @ Detroit:  Totally laid an egg last week. Look for a bounce back.
 

4.  Roddy White vs. Minnesota:  Looked like the Roddy of old last week and the Vikings’ secondary should allow that to continue.
 

5.  Dez Bryant vs. Miami:  Romo and Dez are clicking. He’s scored in back-to-back weeks.
 

6.  Victor Cruz @ New Orleans:  He’s become the Giants’ top threat. Averaging 100.5 yards and .5 TDs in past four games.
 

7.  Larry Fitzgerald @ St. Louis:  How good could he be with an actual quarterback. Has four TDs in past three games.

8.  Jordy Nelson @ Detroit:  Averaging 97 yards with five TDs in his past three games.
 

9.  Steve Smith @ Indianapolis:  Quiet the past two weeks but should torment the Colts.
 

10.  DeSean Jackson vs. New England:  Hard to rely on him, but he looked good last week and has a dream match up.
 

11.  Laurent Robinson vs. Miami:  Has five TDs in the past four games.
 

12.  Hakeem Nicks @ New Orleans:  Should be very active in what looks like a shootout.
 

13.  Wes Welker @ Philadelphia:  Tough matchup against the Eagles.

14.  Vincent Jackson vs. Denver:  He’s so inconsistent but has the potential for a huge game. Champ Bailey limits his value.

15.  Anquan Boldin vs. San Francisco: Quiet the past two games but I expect he’ll come up big on Thanksgiving against the Niners.

16.  Percy Harvin @ Atlanta:  The Falcons struggle with the pass (254.1 ypg) and the Vikings will rely on Percy more with Adrian Peterson out or limited.

17.  Antonio Brown @ Kansas City:  Averaging 91 yards the past four games.

18.  Marques Colston vs. New York Giants:  Averaging 83.3 yards and .5 TDs in his past six games.

19.  Brandon Lloyd vs. Arizona:  Has scored in three of his past four games.

20.  Dwayne Bowe @ Pittsburgh:  Tough draw without Matt Cassel.

21.  Brandon Marshall @ Dallas:  Letdown last week but should bounce back.

22.  Andre Johnson @ Jacksonville:  If he plays you have to use him, but he is risky.

23.  Jeremy Maclin vs. New England:  Solid play if his injuries (shoulder, hamstring) allow him to do so.

24.  Julio Jones @ Minnesota:  Assuming his hamstring is healthy, he’s a strong play against the Vikings.

25.  A.J. Green vs. Cleveland:  Missed last week but has scored in four of his past five games. Good if he can go.

26.  (South) Mike Williams @ Tennessee:  Averaging 61.8 ypg in his past four games. At least six catches in four of his past five games.

27.  Nate Washington vs. Tampa Bay:  Stormed back with nine catches for 115 yards and two scores last week. Bucs are giving up 265.4 ypg.

28.  Torrey Smith vs. San Francisco:  Averaging 72.8 ypg in his past six games.

29.  Plaxico Burress vs. Buffalo:  Averaging 51.8 yards with four scores in his past four games.

30.  Jerome Simpson vs. Cleveland:  Averaging 77.5 yards in his past four games.

31.  Sidney Rice vs. Washington:  Averaging 76 ypg at home this year.

32.  Santonio Holmes vs. Buffalo:  He’s been disappointing but he scored in their first match-up.

33.  Jabar Gaffney @ Seattle:  Plays better with Rex Grossman under center.

34.  Deion Branch @ Philadelphia:  With Welker and the TEs to worry about he should have opportunities.

35.  Michael Crabtree @ Baltimore:  Coming off a seven-catch, 120-yard game.

36.  Early Doucet @ St. Louis:  He doesn’t put up big numbers but he’s pretty steady.

37.  Mario Manningham @ New Orleans:  Forgotten last week but should bounce back.

38.  Damian Williams vs. Tampa Bay:  Big letdown last week but had been solid in his three prior games.

39.  Harry Douglas vs. Minnesota:  Should contribute even if Julio Jones plays.

40.  Eric Decker @ San Diego:  Didn’t catch a pass last week but scored in his three previous games. He’s a risk with Tebow in there but makes plays.
