Fantasy Football WR PPR Rankings Week 12: Who to start, best sleepers at wide receiver
Story by Nick Musial • 2h
Who are the best fantasy WRs in Week 12?
CeeDee Lamb (@ Commanders in Week 12) and the Cowboys are licking their chops to go against a struggling Commanders stop unit, which likely leads to a stat-stuffing effort from their WR1. Tyreek Hill (@ Jets) has a significantly tougher matchup, but that shouldn't stop him from continuing to torch opposing secondaries.
A.J. Brown (vs. Bills) is likely to take advantage of a struggling Buffalo coverage unit in a potential shootout, which could easily lead to Philadelphia's leading receiver ending the week as the overall fantasy WR1. Not much needs to be said about Amon-Ra St. Brown (vs. Packers), as Detroit's go-to wideout remains a PPR beast and could see 10-plus targets against Green Bay on Thanksgiving.
Even if Keenan Allen (vs. Ravens) isn't 100 percent, he's going to see elite volume as just about the only reliable pass-catcher Justin Herbert has. Mike Evans' (@ Colts) reliable target share makes him a bona fide WR1 in a plus matchup against Indianapolis.
Brandon Aiyuk's (@ Seahawks) big Week 11 effort makes him a set-it-and-forget-it play on Thanksgiving night. Conversely, Stefon Diggs (@ Eagles) sees a rankings dip after two down performances, but we still expect Buffalo's WR1 to return to form in Week 12. Puka Nacua (@ Cardinals) returns to the top 10 with Kupp's status looking bleak, as he's likely to get force-fed as the Rams' top pass-catching option.
Who are the best fantasy WR sleepers, waiver pickups in Week 12?
Jayden Reed (@ Lions), Odell Beckham Jr (@ Chargers), Khalil Shakir (@ Eagles), Demario Douglas (vs. Giants), Josh Downs (vs. Buccaneers), Rondale Moore (vs. Rams), and Elijah Moore (@ Broncos) are all worthy of a pickup ahead of Week 12.
Reed's role continues to grow as the season progresses, as he's been a revelation for the Green Bay. Beckham Jr.'s target share is on the up-and-up with Mark Andrews likely done for the year, making him a viable flex play down the stretch if his shoulder is healthy.
Shakir was fortunate to haul in an 81-yard score in Week 11, but his steady route participation numbers should lead to increased production. Douglas is seeing WR1 type of volume, as he's just about the only Patriots' pass-catcher worth starting.
Downs' ownership percentage is still too low, as he continues to post fantasy-caliber numbers in his rookie campaign. Rondale Moore's stock is soaring with Kyler Murray back under center, and while he saw just one target in Week 11, he clearly made the most of it. He's not as good of a PPR option as his namesake, Elijah Moore, who's starting to turn a corner down the stretch of the regular season, leading all Browns' wide receivers in catches (6) and receiving yards (60) last week.
Who are the biggest potential WR busts in Week 12?
It's hard to trust Jerry Jeudy (vs. Browns), Christian Watson (@ Lions), Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson (@ Cowboys), Jakobi Meyers (vs. Chiefs), Quentin Johnston (vs. Ravens), and Gabe Davis (@ Eagles) this week.
Jeudy's taken a backseat to Courtland Sutton as Russell Wilson's go-to wideout, while Watson's been one of the biggest fantasy disappointments this season. Both are boom-or-bust with more value in standard leagues, but we wouldn't touch them in PPR.
McLaurin and Dotson are both inconsistent, and a tough matchup's in store this Thursday. Similarly, Meyers hasn't been the same with Aidan O'Connell under center, as Davante Adams is about the only Raiders' pass-catcher worth starting.
Johnston couldn't make the most out of a picture-perfect opportunity in Week 11, and Davis is way too volatile of a play for our liking.
What are the biggest WR injuries in Week 12?
Unfortunately, the Vikings opted not to activate superstar WR Justin Jefferson (hamstring) off injured reserve last week, and with Minnesota on bye in Week 13, we could see the Vikings take a more cautious approach and hold him out another week.
Thankfully, just two fantasy-relevant WRs, Cooper Kupp (ankle) and Darius Slayton (arm), got banged up during Week 11 action before being ruled out. It feels unlikely that either wideout will suit up in Week 12, but we'll be closely monitoring their team's injury reports as the week progresses.
Entering Week 11, Tee Higgins (hamstring), Noah Brown (knee), Jalen Guyton (groin), Treylon Burks (concussion), and Michael Wilson (shoulder) were the most notable injury-related inactives. In our initial Week 12 set of rankings, Brown's the only WR we've listed.
As usual, we'll update these WR PPR rankings throughout the week, so check back for the latest player movement and analysis.

It's Diggs. Unless I had trades to burn I wouldn't trade him.
Maybe the recent struggles of the Bills offence are a temporary blip, maybe they aren't, but all WRs have down periods.
Plus, this week the Bills played the defence ranked #1 against WRs and last week Allen had a really poor game with 2 intercepts and a 58% completion rate.
Before those two games he was averaging 35.4.
His schedule is pretty good: Philly - #31; KC - #16; Dallas - #2; LAC - #32; NE - #17; Miami - #21
I don't have him but I'd back him to come good.
How many jumped off A J Brown after he started 22 and 9?
