Wide Receivers

Start

Mohamed Sanu, Atlanta Falcons vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – Sanu now has three touchdowns over his last four games and faces a defense who ranks dead-last in fantasy points per game against opposing wide receivers. He’s a WR 2/3 for Week 12.

Corey Davis, Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts – Davis has been playing a good amount of snaps and is seeing a good amount of targets. Yet, it hasn’t translated to fantasy success. That’s until now. I predict the rookie will score the first touchdown of his career on Sunday and will have his best fantasy outing in the process.

Kenny Stills, Miami Dolphins vs. New England Patriots – I like Stills if and only if Matt Moore is the starting quarterback. Moore and Still have had good chemistry and it showed last season and parts of this season. If Jay Cutler is cleared to play and is playing quarterback for the Dolphins this week, disregard this recommendation.

Sit

Jordy Nelson, Green Bay Packers vs. Pittsburgh Steelers – Nelson was a guy I recommended owners to bench last week and he proved me right by only catching 2 receptions for 24 yards. Nelson is currently starting in 35 percent of ESPN leagues so owners are clearly starting him due to his name and not his production. Nelson has four-straight games under eight PPR points and the upside simply isn’t there anymore.

Amari Cooper, Oakland Raiders vs. Denver Broncos – Aside from a two touchdown and 210 yard performance in Week 7, Cooper hasn’t done much this season. I expect the Broncos cornerbacks to shut him down on Sunday.
