Wide Receivers

Demaryius Thomas-Denver Broncos

Thomas was the top receiver of the week on the strength of three receiving touchdowns from Peyton Manning in the Broncos comeback win. Thomas totaled 10 catches on his 13 targets while racking up 87 yards to go with his trio of touchdowns.

Odell Beckham Jr.-New York Giants

If your league gives points for degree-of-difficulty catches, Beckham won the year with his second touchdown catch of the game in the second quarter. His game wasn’t all sizzle, though, since he provided plenty of substance with 146 yards to go with his two scores on ten catches. He’s a WR1 going forward and could be the top waiver wire pickup of the season if he keeps up this kind of play.

Dez Bryant-Dallas Cowboys

Bryant has six touchdowns in his last four games after finding the end zone twice last night against the Giants. Bryant caught the game-winning touchdown as part of his seven-catch, 86-yard performance and continues to be a key part of the Cowboys attack.

Anquan Boldin-San Francisco 49ers

Boldin and the ‘Niners pulled out a tough win at home against the Redskins this week, and he once again dominated the receiving production for San Francisco. In his four games since the bye week, Boldin has a touchdowns and over 90 yards in three games. He had a season-high nine catches against Washington while totaling a season-high 137 yards to go with his receiving touchdown this week.

T.Y. Hilton-Indianapolis Colts

Hilton only caught four passes but finished with 122 yards and a touchdown while adding 15 yards on a rush play as well. Hilton was the top scoring WR on a slow day for receivers in the early games.

Jarvis Landry-Miami Dolphins

Landry was one of the top waiver wire pickups last week and he delivered as he continues to emerge as a WR option for Ryan Tannehill and the growing Miami offense. On Sunday, Landry found the end zone twice while catching seven passes for 50 yards.

Emmanuel Sanders-Denver Broncos

Sanders played despite a concussion he suffered last week and took several big shots throughout this game against a tough Dolphins secondary. He proved his toughness though by playing through his issues and catching nine passes for 125 yards. He didn’t get any of Manning’s TD’s this week, but he’s still a clear WR1 in week 13 as the Broncos face the Chiefs for the second time this season.

Stedman Bailey-St. Louis Rams

In his best game as a pro, Bailey flashed some potential upside catching seven passes for 89 yards and a touchdown in the Rams loss to the Chargers. He’s growing quickly into the Rams top receiving threat and makes an interesting flier against the Raiders this coming week.

A.J. Green-Cincinnati Bengals

The best wide receiver line without a touchdown came from Green who caught a league-leading 12 passes in week 12. Green finished with 121 yards on his 16 targets, but wasn’t quite able to get into the end zone keeping him farther down the list of our week 12 scoring leaders. Continue to play him with confidence as your WR1 going forward.
