Week 12 Fantasy Football FLEX Rankings Outlooks
Tyler Shaver, Buffalo Bills
Coming off the best game of his career, Buffalo Bills wide receiver Tyrell Shavers should be left on the bench in most formats when his team takes on the Houston Texans on Thursday. Shavers, mostly a special teamer to this point, broke out for four catches, 90 yards, and a touchdown last week against Tampa, and now the Bills' receiver room is in limbo this week. Khalil Shakir (personal) missed practice on Monday and Tuesday, while Keon Coleman was a healthy scratch last week after being late to a team meeting.
If either or both were to be unavailable tonight, that would leave some combination of Shavers, Joshua Palmer, Curtis Samuel, and Mecole Hardman to fill in the gaps. Even so, Shavers has just 11 catches in 10 games overall, and Houston ranks No. 1 against PPR receivers, making him too risky to rely upon.
Mack Hollins, New England Patriots
New England Patriots wide receiver Mack Hollins has played well for the Patriots this season, catching 30 of 38 targets for 387 yards and two touchdowns in 11 games. Hollins is fourth on the team in total routes run (217) and has emerged as a reliable option for second-year quarterback Drake Maye. The 32-year-old has recorded 21 catches for 317 yards on 26 targets since Week 7. His 317 yards lead the team over that span, and he's been highly efficient with his opportunities.
His 12.19 yards per target ranks fourth among wide receivers with at least 75 routes during that stretch. Hollins' snaps could go down a tick with Kayshon Boutte (hamstring) expected to return in Week 12 against the Bengals. However, Hollins should still maintain a healthy route share and keep him on the radar in deeper formats.
Devin Singletary, New York Giants
New York Giants running back Devin Singletary has narrowly outscored Tyrone Tracy Jr. over the past two weeks, with Cam Skattebo (ankle) out for the season. Singletary looks like he has earned the goal line work and ranks as the RB15 in the past two games with 28 PPR points, compared to Tracy as RB19 with 26 points. Tracy has the clear edge in touches (38 to 28), but Singletary has handled all nine running back carries inside the 10-yard line and scored two touchdowns.
The 28-year-old is the more trusted player in protection and has earned the high-value touches, seeing the goal line work and maintaining a relatively close split in route share. Both of their upside for fantasy will be limited in a committee, but Singletary looks like he could be the higher-scoring back the rest of the way.
Greg Dortch, Arizona Cardinals
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch stepped up in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) out, catching all six targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the loss. It marked the second touchdown of the season for Dortch and his second game playing close to a full-time role with a 66.2% snap share. His next highest came back in Week 4, playing 65.6% of the snaps and hauling in four of his five targets for 35 yards against the Seahawks.
The 27-year-old's playing time has been inconsistent otherwise, ranging from 7.8% one week to as high as 42.9% in another. However, with Harrison already ruled out for Week 12 against the Jaguars, Dortch should be expected to see more reps again. He could be worth plugging in as a potential flex in deeper leagues with the pass volume Arizona has had over the past few weeks.
Matthew Golden, Green Bay Packers
Green Bay Packers wide receiver Matthew Golden (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. The rookie ran routes off to the side, but he didn't catch any passes as the Packers began to prepare for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. Golden has been a disappointment in his first NFL season, frequently appearing on the injury report and catching just 24 passes for 286 yards and zero touchdowns through nine games.
The Packers have a lengthy injury report on the offensive side of the ball with Tucker Kraft (knee) on IR, Josh Jacobs (knee) and Savion Williams (foot) not practicing, and Golden, Christian Watson (knee), Romeo Doubs (wrist), and Dontayvion Wicks (calf) all limited. If some of his fellow pass-catchers can't suit up this week, Golden would have a chance to emerge as Jordan Love's primary target, giving him WR3/flex appeal. On the other hand, he has his own injury concerns to deal with, and he'll likely need to log a full practice at some point to avoid being issued a "questionable" designation.
