Kyler Murray, QB, Arizona Cardinals
Week 12 Quarterback Rankings: 7

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray put up average numbers in the team's 21-16 Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. Kyler connected with eight receivers overall and rushed for one touchdown while passing for another. Despite the solid numbers, Murray and the rest of the Cardinals' offense will face off against the L.A. Rams in Week 12. While the Rams haven't been spectacular, they have been good against the pass, ranking 9th overall.

On the flip side, L.A. ranks 18th against the rush, which should give Murray some opportunities to post solid rushing stats. Even though Murray should still be able to lead the Arizona offense down the field, there is a chance the Rams will be able to keep him from having an outstanding fantasy day. As such, Murray has to be considered a high-upside QB2.

Derek Carr, QB, New Orleans Saints
Week 12 Quarterback Rankings: 20

New Orleans Saints quarterback Derek Carr (concussion) has been removed from the injury report ahead of the Week 12 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran signal-caller has been a full participant in practice, so it appears he's ready to get back out there. Carr has also been dealing with a shoulder injury but looks to be in full health for this game.

Fantasy managers should consider Carr a low-end QB2 for this upcoming matchup. It'll likely be a run-heavy game for the Saints, so there probably won't be a ton of value from Carr.

Jake Browning, QB, Cincinnati Bengals
Week 12 Quarterback Rankings: 28

Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Jake Browning will start against the Steelers on Sunday. Joe Burrow (wrist) is done for the remainder of the 2023-24 campaign, so Browning will do his best to keep Cincinnati in the postseason conversation. The 27-year-old, who won the backup job during the preseason, took over for the ailing Burrow in the Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens on a Thursday night. He didn't play the best, throwing for 68 yards while completing just 57.1% of his attempts.

In all fairness, Browning wasn't horrible, however, as he tossed a touchdown and didn't throw any interceptions. Even better, he amassed 40 yards off 10 carries. Nonetheless, Browning is already familiar with the offense, which will certainly benefit him. Additionally, the added days off gave him extra practice time with the starters. But that doesn't mean the signal-caller should be starting in any fantasy lineup on Sunday versus the Steelers, although his presence may not be all that bad for Ja'Marr Chase and Tyler Boyd, among others.
