Sorry I missed last weeks WRs Who's Hot/ Who's Not session but fear not I got it in this week. I will be posting the QB's and RB's later so be sure to check back. Since there is a game tonight as well here is a quick list of players that will be playing tonight worthy of starting in any league.
QB's
Drew Brees - Start
Matt Ryan - Bench
RB's
Pierre Thomas - Start
All Falcons RB's - Bench
WR's
Harry Douglas - SEE BELOW
Roddy White - Bench
Marques Colston - Start in deeper leagues
All other Saints WR's - Bench, although Kenny Stills is a great Hit or Miss play because of his deep play abilities
TE's
Jimmy Graham - Start as usual
Tony Gonzalez - Bench, based on a short week and even tho he leads the Falcons in red zone looks, he has only brought in 4 TD's.
Top Hot WR's Week 12
1. Harry Douglas - WR Atlanta Falcons - Since Julio Jones' injury Harry Douglas has out shined all other options at receiver for Atlanta. Douglas has over 100 yards receiving in 3 of Atlanta's last 5 games with the only two teams he did not put up big numbers being two of the top defenses in the league in Seattle and Carolina. New Orleans is usually pretty stingy when it comes to giving up points to WR's, but have given up 3 TD's to WR's in their last 4 games. Against a division rival they are bound to give up another and I expect Douglas to be on the receiving end of it.
2. Vincent Jackson - WR Tampa Bay Buccaneers - Vincent Jackson and the newly surging Bucs have looked good as of late, especially last week where he brought in 10 receptions for 165 yards and a TD. Jackson will be stacking up against Detroit Lions defense that have given up 14 TD's to WR's since Week 4 including 5 in the last 2 games. The Lions defense is also allowing about 199 yards per game to the WR position so I would say its a safe bet that Jackson is breaking the goal line at least once this Sunday.
3. Dwayne Bowe - WR Kansas City Chiefs - Dwayne Bowe hasn't been a stud exactly this season because of the way that the Chiefs game plan has been focused on running the ball. Well expect that to change a little this weekend when the Kansas City Chiefs have the San Diego Chargers in town who allow the 5th most fantasy points to WR's. The Chargers are giving up over 200 yards per game on average to WR's and that should have an effect on the Chiefs game planning which should highlight the pass a little more than usual this weekend.
4. Larry Fitzgerald/Michael Floyd - WR Arizona Cardinals - With a receiving corps highlighted by All-Pro WR Larry Fitzgerald and 1st round draft pick WR Michael Floyd going up against a Indianapolis Colts defense that has given up 5 TD's to WR's in their last 3 games. The Colts have not stopped a receiving corps from breaking 100 yds except when they faced the 49ers back in Week 3. The Colts are giving up the 8th most fantasy points to WR's and I don't want to jinx it but Carson Palmer is becoming more and more consistent. If you have either Cardinal WR, Let em fly this weekend!
Not Hot WR's Week 12
1. ALL WR's Oakland Raiders - The Raiders at one point in the season
looked as if they figured it all out and had their future QB as well as
a healthy RB. Well times have changed since then and nowadays your
pressing your luck just having a Raider on your squad at all. They will be facing a Tennessee Titans defense that has not allowed a WR to score since Week 2 against Houston. Their top receiver last week has not topped over 100 yards receiving all season and only has 2 TD's on the year, while their #1 receiver has only broke 100 yards once this season.
2. All WR's Miami Dolphins - The Dolphins have the Carolina Panthers coming to town and if your crazy enough to start a WR on a team with a depleted offensive line against one of the top defenses in the league then that's your issue, as for me I wouldn't look their way for Fantasy value this week.
3. Antonio Brown - WR Pittsburgh Steelers - I would have had all PIT WR's but given Big Ben's infatuation with Jerricho Cotchery in the red zone I just simply put the guy who will be covered by Joe Haden. The Steelers will be facing a Joe Haden-led Browns defense that have only allowed 8 TD's to WR's this year. Brown will be covered by Haden this weekend who just last week held AJ Green to 2 receptions for 7 yards, as well as two INT's with one being a pick-6.
4. Terrence Williams - WR Dallas Cowboys - Terrence Williams has been a hit or miss since his emergence in the Cowboys offense. He has caught 5 TD's in his last 6 games but other than that he has been a bust. He has caught only 5 receptions in his last 3 games! If that's not enough to scare you away then hey, give it a shot whats the worst that could happen besides its not like their playing their division rival New York Giants who have not allowed a receiving TD in their last 4 games, oh wait they are. Bench Him!
I
