NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: Sit 'Em

DJ Moore - Carolina Panthers vs. Denver Broncos

DJ Moore has been one of the most disappointing wide receivers during the 2022 Fantasy Football season so far. It hasn't necessarily been his fault as the Carolina Panthers have some of the worst quarterback production in the NFL. Baker Mayfield and PJ Walker each failed to captialize on their opportunities.

The Panthers are now heading back to Sam Darnold to once again take over as their starting quarterback. While this may help Moore for the rest of the season, he should still be avoided in Week 12. The Denver Broncos allow the second-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Darnell Mooney - Chicago Bears vs. New York Jets

Darnell Mooney is a solid streaming wide receiver in the right matchups. He has finished within the top 30 wide receivers in PPR points five times this season. Week 12 doesn't provide him with a favorable situation. The New York Jets allow the third-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.

Further complicating Mooney's outlook in Fantasy Football for Week 12 is an unfortunate injury to Justin Fields. With the uncertainty at the quarterback position, Mooney is better off being avoided this week.

Diontae Johnson - Pittsburgh Steelers vs. Indianapolis Colts

Diontae Johnson is having a frustrating 2022 Fantasy Football season. He currently ranks eighth in total targets this year, but hasn't been able to do much with his high volume. He currently ranks just 42nd in total fantasy points among wide receivers.

While Johnson should be expected to be heavily involved in the Pittsburgh Steelers' passing game again in Week 12, he faces a challenging situation to get more out of his usage. The Indianapolis Colts are the top-ranked fantasy defense against wide receivers.
