Week 12 Wide Receiver Rankings Outlooks

Ricky Pearsall, San Francisco 49ers

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall's (knee) returned to action in Week 11 after a six-week absence due to a knee injury sustained in Week 4. Unfortunately, the second-year wideout had just one catch for no gain on two targets in the 49ers' 41-22 trouncing of the Cardinals. On the positive side, Pearsall's knee injury appears to be in the rearview.

Pearsall had a 75% snap share in Week 11 and logged a full practice on Thursday and Friday ahead of the 49ers' upcoming game against the Carolina Panthers. Fantasy football managers are advised to keep an eye out for the 49ers' final injury report, which will be due out Saturday as the team plays on Monday night. Barring any reinjury in his final practice of the week, Pearsall projects as a WR3 and can be plugged into starting lineups for Week 12.

Michael Wilson, Arizona Cardinals

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Wilson is coming off a historic Week 11 performance against the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old had 15 catches for 185 yards on 18 targets. Wilson finished as the No. 1 wide receiver for the week and has the most receiving yards in a game this season. The former Stanford product will be heavily involved in the offense, with wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) being ruled out for a second straight week after undergoing surgery to address appendicitis.

Wilson will face a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has allowed the 10th most receiving yards this season. In an expanded role, Wilson will have plenty of opportunities to make plays downfield against a vulnerable secondary with quarterback Jacoby Brissett under center. In a high-volume passing offense in a favorable matchup, Wilson will be a viable flex option for fantasy managers heading into Week 12.

Romeo Doubs, Green Bay Packers

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Romeo Doubs resumed his usual role as the top Packers' target-earning pass-catcher after missing Week 10 and looks to carry that momentum going when the Packers host the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Doubs led the Packers with seven targets, catching four of those targets for 53 yards.

With quarterback Jordan Love facing blitzes from the vaunted Brian Flores-led Vikings' defense this Sunday, Doubs should be an outlet for the Packers' offense to keep moving the chains. With the Packers' receiving production coming down to Doubs and Christian Watson in the last couple of weeks, they have condensed a good amount of the team's production. Consider Doubs a solid flex play for this matchup in Week 12.
