Fantasy football managers may want to brace for a down week at the wide receiver position, as there are several favorable matchups for wideouts in Week 12. Some of those favorable matchups included the Atlanta Falcons and New Orleans Saints, each of which ranks in the top five in fantasy points per game allowed to opposing WRs going back to Week 5.
The Falcons and Saints aren’t the only teams saying goodbye either! Four other units will also be missing, including the Buffalo Bills and their three flex-worthy wideouts (Amari Cooper, Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman), New York Jets (Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams), Cincinnati Bengals (Ja’Marr Chase, Tee Higgins) and Jacksonville Jaguars (Brian Thomas Jr.) are all out of commission. That means fantasy managers will have to dig deep into their pockets for some viable flex plays.
Luckily, fantasy football managers have gotten Nico Collins back into the lineup. While he had a quiet return to MNF in Week 11, he could have had a much bigger game if not for a flag and a challenge that took away two big plays.
