MIAMI, Nov. 20 (UPI) — Amon-Ra St. Brown and Rashee Rice lead my Top-50 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for Week 12.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Emeka Egbuka and CeeDee Lamb join St. Brown and Rice in my Top 5. Davante Adams, Nico Collins, Justin Jefferson, Puka Nacua and A.J. Brown are among my other Top-10 options.

My top free agent and waiver-wire targets for Week 12 are available here.

All of my positional rankings will be updated until Week 12 kickoffs. Players also will be moved out of or adjusted within the rankings based on injuries.

Be sure to monitor your fantasy football team lineups, especially if you roster or other injured wide receivers.

Players from the Miami Dolphins, Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers and Washington Commanders, who are on bye, should be benched or, in some cases, dropped from rosters.
