The fantasy football playoffs are inching closer now that Week 12 is here.

By now, you’ve probably realized this hasn’t been a great year for fantasy receivers. If you look at the top receivers in terms of fantasy scorers, you’ll see familiar names like Antonio Brown (second), A.J. Green (fourth), and Brandin Cooks (fifth).

But while they may rank near the top, they’ve had some brutal stretches this season for fantasy owners. Brown has four games in which he’s failed to crack nine points. Green has five such games, while Cooks has an astounding seven games under 10 points.

Simply put, there have been few fantasy receivers this season you can count on to produce on a week-to-week basis. That’s why finding the right matchups is more critical than ever as the postseason begins.

With that in mind, here is a new ranking of the top 50 wide receivers in standard leagues for Week 12.
