3. Mike Williams (LAC)

Game: Las Angeles Chargers at Buffalo Bills (Sunday, 11/29, 1:00 pm EST)

This year, the Bills offense is the victory generator. In the last handful of seasons, it was the Bills defense that put butts in seats. Tyrod Taylor could tell you all about it. Buffalo ranks 20th in the NFL in points allowed.

Nevertheless, Sean McDermott’s bunch does clamp down wide receivers most of the time. Keenan Allen and Mike Williams will not have a walk in the part. But rookie quarterback Justin Herbert has been deadly at times — enough to add Offensive Rookie of the Year votes to his candidacy.

We’re picking Williams to convert on a bomb or two in a competitive game vs. Buffalo.

4. Darius Slayton (NYG)

Game: New York Giants at Cincinnati Bengals (Sunday, 11/29, 1:00 pm EST)

You know the drill with Slayton. He might get you three points one week and 33 points the next. Our money is on the latter in Week 12. He hasn’t scored in over a month and a 100-yard game hasn’t filled his stat sheet since Oct. 11. The Bengals surrender 25 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. That’s the seventh-worst in the business. If Slayton can’t accrue north of 10 points vs. the Bengals, then his rut is deeper than has been led on.
