As we roll into my Week 12 wide receiver rankings, we will be without Ja’Marr Chase. Though he is not injured or on a bye, he is suspended for spitting at Jalen Ramsey. That was not in the bingo card as we inch closer to the fantasy postseason. So, if you have Chase on your team and need a win, you’ll want to see the rankings below.

Wide Receiver Notes
- Let’s start with Justin Jefferson as my WR11 going against the Packers. It has been a disappointing fantasy season for Jefferson. He has yet to score more than 13 fantasy points. That is not cutting it for a first-round draft pick. Although it is the quarterback’s play that has contributed to Jefferson’s poor season. What is annoying is that Jefferson is getting targeted, yet he has eclipsed 100 receiving yards just twice this season. And in those two games, Carson Wentz was the quarterback. It is hard to say to bench Jefferson, because of the talent, but he is outside of my top-10 this week based on his situation.
- Next, I have Stefon Diggs as my WR9 going against the Bengals. It took a little bit, but Diggs is now a for-sure lock as a WR2 for the rest of the season. Drake Maye is making a case for MVP and is looking Diggs’ way. In the last two games, Diggs has had 19 targets. He also has three touchdowns in his last four games. This is a great week for the Patriots as they are going against the Bengals. I expect New England to pile it on this week.
- Lastly, I have Tre Tucker as my WR31 going against the Browns. It looks like Tucker didn’t pan out after the Jakobi Meyers trade. But, you can’t trust this Raiders offense aside from Brock Bowers. The Raiders will have the air the ball out this game, and Tucker could snag a garbage-time touchdown like he did on Monday Night. But I would not risk the start unless your roster is full of injuries.
