Week 12 of the 2022 phantasy shot play featured Garrett Wilson and Mike White of the New York Jets coming up large against the Chicago Bears. Which different developments from the week are worthy speechmaking into? Matt Bowen and Tristan H. Cockcroft connection their analysis.

Garrett Wilson finds the extremity zone

With 26.4 PPR points successful a 31-10 win implicit the Bears, Wilson has present posted 17.5 oregon much PPR points successful 3 of his past 4 games. And the arrow could truly beryllium pointing up connected the rookie receiver if helium tin proceed to spot accordant backmost play with Mike White successful New York. Wilson saw 8 targets connected Sunday, catching 5 passes for 95 yards, and helium added 2 touchdowns. We cognize helium has dynamic quality aft the catch. He's a abrupt mover successful space. And the Jets tin strategy him open, too. Flood concepts, leveled throws successful the mediate of the field, more. Wilson gets the Vikings' defence successful Week 13. He'll beryllium an upside WR3 successful my rankings for that one. -- Bowen

Mike White impresses

Rostered successful conscionable 2.5% of ESPN leagues, White could beryllium 1 of the apical waiver/streaming pick-ups this week aft dropping 24.8 phantasy points connected the Bears' defense. Sure, that Chicago portion was missing players successful the secondary. Some JV endowment was retired determination today. And we cognize that's not an upper-tier defense. But fixed the Jets' deficiency of a functional walk crippled with Zach Wilson astatine quarterback, White is an upgrade for a New York discourtesy that has endowment and explosive quality successful the way tree. White was businesslike successful this one, too, completing 22-of-28 passing for 315 yards -- with 3 touchdown throws. He deed the schemed windows, delivered the shot with anticipation wrong the numbers and truly worked this Bears' defence astatine each 3 levels of the field. And with those numbers, White should instrumentality arsenic the No.1 successful New York. Up adjacent for the quarterback? Road games astatine Minnesota and Buffalo implicit the adjacent 2 weeks. -- Bowen

Let's not hide that White had that awesome 26.10-fantasy-point effort successful his archetypal vocation commencement successful Week 8 of past season, past dealt with a forearm contented that knocked him retired successful the archetypal 4th of the adjacent game, meaning helium hasn't really gotten overmuch of a accidental to beryllium himself astatine this level. He present has a brace of 24-plus-point performances successful his 4 vocation starts, with a mostly fantasy-friendly docket up (@MIN, @BUF, DET, JAX, @SEA, @MIA), truthful I'm with you, Matt -- he's worthy adding for streaming/superflex purposes. -- Cockcroft

Trevor Lawrence comes up clutch

For the 2nd consecutive game, Lawrence topped the 20-point mark, posting 24.94 points successful the Week 12 triumph implicit the Ravens. Lawrence was highly decisive with the shot precocious successful this one, starring a two-minute drill for a people and past hitting a speedy retired connected the 2-point effort to triumph it. Some big-time throws here. With a affirmative Week 13 matchup versus the Lions, you tin rotation with Lawrence arsenic a QB1 successful the lineup. -- Bowen

Other observations:

Brian Robinson Jr., RB, Washington Commanders: Consider his Week 12 a sneaky-big measurement forward, aft the rookie played 50% of the Commanders' violative snaps (to Antonio Gibson's 40%), totaled 20 touches (to Gibson's 12) and had 3 runs of 10-plus yards, the second 2 shy of his full entire successful his archetypal 7 vocation NFL starts (five). Robinson besides added 14- and 8-yard receptions, arsenic helium yet delivered large plays that should proceed to gain him much looks successful the offense. He's a almighty backmost who, contempt being touchdown-dependent for phantasy purposes, brings capable spot to present those astir weeks and perchance beryllium a play RB2 from this constituent forward. -- Cockcroft

Zay Jones, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars: A cardinal portion of the Jaguars' come-from-behind triumph implicit the Ravens, Jones scored a career-best 27.5 PPR phantasy points, including catching the deciding 2-point conversion. He has been progressively getting looks from Trevor Lawrence, to the constituent that Jones present has back-to-back games with double-digit targets, not to notation 4 games successful treble digits this play unsocial aft having lone 3 of them successful 79 vocation games entering 2022. He has been often getting throws erstwhile Lawrence is playing from behind, but it's besides a boon that the Jaguars person a mostly fantasy-friendly remaining docket for wide receivers (@DET, @TEN, DAL, @NYJ, @HOU, TEN). Jones should beryllium rostered everyplace and started arsenic a WR3 for astir of those. -- Cockcroft

Samaje Perine, RB, Cincinnati Bengals: Filling successful for the injured Joe Mixon (concussion), Perine delivered 19.3 PPR phantasy points, a fig that looks amended erstwhile you see that the opposing Titans entered the week the eighth-toughest docket adjusted defence against moving backs. Perine again had his strongest publication successful the receiving game, catching 4 of 7 passes for 35 yards. If called upon again to capable successful for Mixon successful Week 13, helium should stay a midrange RB2. -- Cockcroft

Eric Karabell breaks down however Samaje Perine's Week 12 show could travel successful useful for phantasy managers if Joe Mixon misses the adjacent game.

Rachaad White, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers: With Leonard Fournette down with an injury, White posted a season-high 19.9 PPR points successful the Week 12 nonaccomplishment to the Browns. And we saw the rookie's dual-threat traits here. White logged 9 receptions -- for 45 yards -- and helium added different 64 yards rushing connected 14 carries. If Fournette can't spell successful Week 13 versus the Saints, White volition enactment successful the RB2 discussion. -- Bowen

Dameon Pierce, RB, Houston Texans: With lone 8 yards rushing (on 5 carries) successful the Week 12 nonaccomplishment astatine Miami, Pierce has present logged conscionable 16 yards rushing connected 15 full carries successful his past 2 games. Look, this Houston discourtesy is truly mediocre -- careless of who is playing the backmost position. And the antagonistic crippled travel continues to interaction Pierce's volume. Pierce does person a affirmative matchup successful Week 13 against the Browns sub-par unreserved defense, but he'll stay successful my RB2 ranks fixed the Texans inability to found violative bushed and tempo. -- Bowen
