Gambling911.com has your NFL Week 12 fantasy wide receivers picks that might not otherwise stand out unless we know some of the vital stats tied to a particular player. As always, the pricing plays as an important part as a player’s skills and stats (both long term and recent history).
The Colts Reggie Wayne will face a Jaguars defense that has allowed him to rack up 1,537 receiving yards and 5 TDs over the past 15 meetings. This bodes well for Wayne.
When it comes to Baltimore wide receiver Torrey Smith, ESPN.com notes that five of the last six No. 1 wide receivers the Saints have faced have hit at least 15 fantasy points in standard scoring, combining for 646 yards and four touchdowns in the process. Having scored five TDs in five games, Smith has assumed that role once again for Baltimore.
You should be able to get some good value on the Eagles Jordan Matthews, who faces a Titans secondary allowing the second-most fantasy points per game to the position since Week 6. And since Matthews has tied for fourth in fantasy points per game among wideouts since Week 9, it’s hard to see him have nothing other than a stellar performance Sunday.
Mike Wallace could have a banner day on Sunday against a Broncos squad permitting an average of 25.0 fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts in the past five weeks. With this scenario, we question why Miami comes into this game as a +7 underdog.
Meanwhile we have Sammy Watkins having decimated the New York Jets in their first meeting for 157 yards. The storm in Buffalo reduced practice time and could prove too much of a distraction to duplicate this success however.
A really solid wide receiver fantasy value not on the radar is the Jaguars Cecil Shorts III. As ESPN.com notes, considering how poorly the Colts secondary has played in the past three contests (376 passing yards per game allowed) and with Allen Robinson (foot) out for the season, there's no reason Shorts shouldn't see a dozen targets on Sunday,
