Fantasy Football Week 12 Start 'Em & Sit 'Em Wide Receivers: Jauan Jennings must start, plus sleepers

Mike Evans is back in Week 12 after missing the past three games with a hamstring injury, and he should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy receiver in all leagues against the Giants. I’m expecting Evans to have a strong finish to the 2024 campaign.

As we’re all aware, Evans has a 10-year streak of gaining 1,000 receiving yards in each season. He comes into Week 12 with 335 receiving yards with eight games to play, so he’s well short — for now.

For Evans to extend his streak, he needs to average 95 yards per game over the final seven games of the season. And I’m counting on him to get there, starting against the Giants. 

Now, only one receiver has topped 95 receiving yards against the Giants, but seven receivers have scored at least 14.4 PPR points against this secondary. That’s great news for Evans and his Fantasy outlook in Week 12.

Evans’ best game this season was only 94 yards in Week 4 against Philadelphia, but he hasn’t played a game yet without Chris Godwin (ankle), who is out for the year. Evans should soak up targets from Baker Mayfield, who will likely do all he can to keep the streak alive for his No. 1 target.

We’ll see how this plays out over the next seven weeks. We’re glad Evans is back, and hopefully, he can keep his streak alive.
