An expanded version with players from readers' feedback included will be posted on Friday. This is Part 3 of the starts and sits for Week 12:

WR

Start 'Em

Jordy Nelson (at Lions)- this is the second straight week that Nelson is in this list. As with DeMarco Murray, Nelson is getting really close to being a must start every week no matter what matchup he is facing. He has more touchdowns than Greg Jennings and Thursday's matchup against Detroit should be a shootout with tons of fantasy points. Nelson is almost guaranteed to be the beneficiary of some those points that he will be thrown around and should have no problem posting up huge numbers again in Week 12.

Brandon Lloyd (vs. Cardinals)- Lloyd has been consistent scoring in 3 of his last 4 games. He will face a weak Arizona secondary that has allowed the 2nd most yards and 8th most fantasy points to wide receivers. Everything is in place for Lloyd to finally have a huge game this season.

Antonio Brown (at Chiefs)- if it was not for a bye week in Week 11, Brown would have been in this list for four straight weeks. Brown is firmly entrenched as the No. 2 wide receiver of the Steelers behind Mike Wallace with Hines Ward a shadow of himself and Emmanuel Sanders returning from injury. Brown will face a weak Kansas City secondary, which bodes well for the Steelers' surprising passing attack and of course, Brown.

Sit 'Em

Dwayne Bowe (vs. Steelers)- Bowe did surprisingly well on Monday Night Football with 7 catches, but Tyler Palko is still the Chiefs' starting quarterback at least for this week. Bowe will be going up against a Pittsburgh defense that is ranked 3rd against the pass. There is no reason to believe that Bowe will do much this week and his owners should bench him and wait for Week 13 when Kyle Orton should replace Palko as the starting quarterback.

Stevie Johnson (at Jets)- this is the second straight week that a wide receiver going up against the Jets is in this list. Last week, Darrelle Revis was able to shutdown Eric Decker and this week, Johnson should have his turn in Revis Island. It also does not help that the Bills offense is running on fumes and will be without starting running back Fred Jackson. It should be a long Sunday for Johnson and the Bills offense.

Reggie Wayne (vs. Panthers)- with Peyton Manning out, Wayne has been one of the biggest disappointments in the NFL and in fantasy football. He will be facing a Carolina secondary that has allowed the 7th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers. There is no reason to expect Wayne to finally show up and have a breakout game in Week 12 with this matchup. 

The remaining parts will be up soon and the links will be added to the this post. All parts are done and posted.
