Week 12 Fantasy Football WR Rankings: Start of the Week
Quentin Johnston vs. Baltimore Ravens
Quentin Johnston has been on fire over the past three weeks, finishing with a touchdown each week and averaging over 60 yards per game during that span. The Los Angeles Chargers passing offense as a whole has picked up over the past month. Notably, QB Justin Herbert has gone for 250+ yards in four of his past five games. Additionally, having multiple touchdowns in three of his past four games.
The Chargers take on the Baltimore Ravens in Week 12. This year, they are a team that allows the most fantasy points to wide receivers, per our free fantasy football tool, the D-PAC Score. Specifically, the Ravens give up over 40 fantasy points per game to the wide receiver position. That’s more than five points per game than the second-closest team. Check out our free fantasy football tools to learn more.
Ultimately, the Chargers will need to throw to keep up with a Ravens team that ranks second in the NFL in points per game. Johnston ranks just outside my top 24 WRs, but offers massive upside given his big-play ability and TD upside. Johnston should be in lineups over any wide receiver not listed in my top 24 WR rankings and tiers. Start him this week as he wraps up our Week 12 fantasy football WR rankings and tiers.
