Who should I start for Week 12? Fantasy football outlooks for Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Courtland Sutton, Marvin Harrison Jr. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
Fantasy managers face tough decisions at wide receiver every week, and Week 12 is no different. Some players have emerged as must-starts, while others continue to be matchup-dependent. Picking the right players can make all the difference.
This week, let's break down three wide receivers: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Courtland Sutton, and Marvin Harrison Jr. Each has a unique role in their offense and a matchup worth considering.
What do you need to know before setting your lineup this week? Let's take a look at these three wide receivers.
Should I Start Jaxon Smith-Njigba for Fantasy Football?
Jaxon Smith-Njigba is coming off a stellar performance in Week 11. He hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 110 yards in the Seattle Seahawks' 20-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers.
There aren't many quarterbacks who are going to complete this pass while getting blasted, but Geno Smith has enough arm strength and touch to somehow loft a perfect strike to Jaxon Smith-Njigba for a 15-yard gain. #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/cjKgVdfGfM

Geno Smith has leaned heavily on the 22-year-old, targeting him 24 times over the last two games. In that span, Smith-Njigba has tallied 290 receiving yards and two scores, highlighting his ability to take over games.
This week, the Seahawks face the Arizona Cardinals in a favorable matchup for wide receivers. While DK Metcalf remains a key part of the offense, Smith-Njigba has solidified himself as the team's No. 2 option. His volume and recent production make him a must-start in all formats as a trustworthy WR2.
Should I Start Courtland Sutton for Fantasy Football?
One of the most consistent targets for Bo Nix in the Denver Broncos offense has been Courtland Sutton. He ranks fourth among wide receivers in red-zone targets and has posted seven double-digit PPR games this season.
Does Courtland Sutton go off today?💣
— PlayerProfiler NFL (@Profiler_NFL) November 17, 2024
The SMU product has snagged 49 of his 85 targets for 647 yards and three touchdowns, posting at least 14.8 PPR points in each of his last four games.
In Week 12, Sutton takes on the Las Vegas Raiders. Las Vegas has been tough against wide receivers this season. Despite this, Sutton's volume and red-zone involvement make him a solid WR2 option. The seventh-year wideout remains Nix's favorite target and should be effective, even in a challenging matchup.
Should I Start Marvin Harrison Jr. for Fantasy Football?
Marvin Harrison Jr. has had an up-and-down rookie season but showed promise in Week 10, catching all five of his targets for 54 yards and a TD.
What a catch by Marvin Harrison Jr. for the score!

Now returning from a Week 11 bye, the Ohio State product has an advantageous matchup with the Seattle Seahawks, a team allowing the 12th-most fantasy points to wide receivers. The Seahawks have surrendered 11 receiving touchdowns to the position, tied for the fifth most in the league.
Harrison's rest-of-season schedule looks appealing, and this week presents an opportunity to deliver WR2 numbers. With Seattle's vulnerability to red-zone targets, Harrison should be a dependable play in Week 12.

More Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks
Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants. The team just announced that star wideout Puka Nacua will not suit up due to a hip injury. While Davante Adams is […]
Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
