WR1: Deebo Samuel, San Francisco 49ers ($6,800)

The San Francisco 49ers have one of the scariest offenses in the NFL, and a big part of that is their all-purpose weapon in Deebo Samuel. His Week 11 performance highlighted his scary dual-threat ability, as he ran for 37 yards and a touchdown while catching 7-of-9 targets for 57 yards.

Samuel has a tougher on-paper matchup against the New Orleans Saints, but the 49ers’ offense has proven to be too much of a well-oiled machine to be simply shut down. Samuel has a weekly breakout ceiling, and he can offer that to the lineup in Week 12.

WR2: Christian Kirk, Jacksonville Jaguars ($6,500)

Christian Kirk has been one of the more reliable targets this season in the NFL. He’s a big reason why Trevor Lawrence has taken a step further in his young professional career. Kirk’s 82 targets are tied for 12th among receivers so far in 2022.

Kirk has a favorable matchup this week against the Baltimore Ravens, who have had a leaky secondary so far this season. They allow the seventh-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Kirk’s high-volume play combined with a solid matchup makes him a great play this week.

WR3: Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers ($6,000)

Chris Godwin finally scored a touchdown in his last game in Germany. He’s been targeted heavily this season while slowly returning to full health from his ACL injury. While Godwin has been a high-volume play, he’s only had one game in the top 15 this season, largely due to the lack of touchdowns. If that stat starts picking up, Godwin will be an increasingly better play.

This week, Godwin takes on the Cleveland Browns, who have generally ranked in the middle of the pack against wide receivers this year. With Tampa Bay seemingly in close games every week, there’s no reason to believe Godwin’s high floor will fall apart, making him a great play.
