NFL Three Stars For Week 12: Wide Receiver


The wide receiver position is easily the most stacked in the NFL, and potentially all NFL history, as there are close to 10 players who can all lay claim to being the No. 1 in the league, and while they all won't perform every week, there's players still ready to step up and make their mark, and in Week 12, it was these three names that performed best.

3. Garrett Wilson

Stat line: 5 Catches, 95 Yards, 2 Touchdowns. 

The New York Jets have seen a resurgence in 2022 on the back of all their young talent, and while Sauce Gardner understandably gets all of the media hype, Garrett Wilson has been just as good, and after hauling in 2 Touchdowns from Mike White in his first start of 2022, he looks like a prime candidate for Offensive Rookie of the Year. 

2. Amon-Ra St. Brown

Stat line: 9 Catches, 122 Yards, 1 Touchdown. 

Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a revelation for the Lions when healthy in 2022, and if he can play at least 16 games going forward, the numbers he's going to put up will be ridiculous, and even though Detroit couldn't seal a Thanksgiving win, he played a major part in them getting that close against Buffalo. 

1. Justin Jefferson

Stat line: 9 Catches, 139 Yards, 1 Touchdown. 

At this point, there's very little argument against Justin Jefferson being the best wide receiver in the NFL, and after a massive Week 11 performance against the Bills, he backed it up against New England, helping the Vikings one step closer to clinching the NFC North in Week 13.
