Survive (and crush) the bye-pocalypse with these Week 12 matchups to target in your fantasy football lineups.
Ladd McConkey vs. BAL
McConkey had a rollercoaster of a performance in Week 11. He originally left his matchup against the Bengals with a shoulder injury. The injury appeared to be serious as he quickly went from the medical tent to the locker room. However, McConkey was able to return to the game and put up the best performance of his rookie season, finishing Week 11 with six catches for 123 yards on nine targets. All of these were season-highs, and he was relied on twice on the game-winning drive for gains of 28 yards and 27 yards. McConkey leads the team with a 24% target share, and he ranks 21st in yards per route run this season — strong numbers for a rookie.
This week, McConkey will face the Ravens. Baltimore has been a fantasy wonderland for wide receivers all season, allowing the most receiving yards and fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts. McConkey is a must start this week and likely every week moving forward.
