Brock Bowers Stymied By Denver Defense In Loss

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Brock Bowers had his second-least productive game of the season in Week 12.

Fantasy Football Warning Signals for Week 12 - Chuba Hubbard, Jonathan Taylor, D'Andre Swift, more

One of the worst feelings you can get in fantasy football is starting a player you expect to perform well and watching him drop a dud. The NFL is a heavily matchup-based league right down to individual position groups on both sides of the ball. In addition, an injury to a single player can create […]

Why Jerry Jones The Owner Must Fire Jerry Jones The GM

The Dallas Cowboys have consistently had numerous problems over the last couple of years, and many of them can be traced back to one source -- the President, Owner, and General Manager of the team, Jerry Jones. While his team has enjoyed plenty of (regular season) success in recent years, big roadblocks are holding them […]

Las Vegas Raiders wide receiver Tre Tucker will face the divisional rival Denver Broncos again in Week 12. They held him to just two catches for 18 yards and eight rushing yards in Week 5.

Daniel Carlson Accurate But Risky In Fantasy In Week 12

Las Vegas Raiders kicker Daniel Carlson has now hit on 18 of his 20 field goals this season. He's a perfect 15-for-15 on his extra points. On many teams, he'd be an elite K option in fantasy, like the 2020, 2021, and 2022 Raiders. Not so this season. He's the 17th ranked player at his […]

Fantasy Football Start 'Em, Sit 'Em Picks: Roschon Johnson, Jahan Dotson, Dylan Laube

Injuries at the running back position late in the season can put fantasy teams into desperate situations. RB is a scarce position, and it can be hard to find replacements when one of your weekly starters suddenly isn't able to play. In a similar vein, though NFL teams' WR2 players don't typically have big games […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Jonathon Brooks, Aaron Jones, Cam Akers, Roschon Johnson, Trey Benson

When choosing who to start in fantasy football, it's important to take a lot of things into account. The skill level of the player, the talent and run-blocking prowess of the offensive line, the effectiveness of the offense in general, and even how good the team's defense is all play a part in RB opportunities […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Wan'Dale Robinson, DeMario Douglas, Rashod Bateman, Xavier Legette, Adam Thielen

There are a lot of driving forces behind wide receiver production in the NFL, and those moving parts can change from week to week, making it difficult to stay ahead of which wideouts to start.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Geno Smith, Sam Darnold, Jordan Love, Drake Maye, C.J. Stroud

Quarterbacks are generally the highest-scoring position in fantasy football, and a dud game from your QB can sink your week and lose you your matchup. For that reason, it's vitally important that you make good start/sit decisions for this position, perhaps more so than others. The floor QBs possess is always nice, but nightmare games, […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Christian Watson, Chuba Hubbard, Brock Purdy

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Christian Watson, Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard, and San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) are popular fantasy options heading into Week 12, so it's important to know which ones you can trust as starters and which ones may need to see the bench.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Tucker Kraft, Cade Otton, Dallas Goedert, Dalton Schultz, Zach Ertz

The tight-end position is perhaps the most difficult to predict in fantasy football. Even for the best players in this position, usage in the passing game can vary wildly on a week-by-week basis, creating frustrating situations for fantasy managers, who obviously want to start the highest-scoring guys. To make matters worse, some of them seem […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Jaylen Warren, Jerome Ford, Pat Freiermuth

Cleveland Browns running back Jerome Ford, Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jaylen Warren, and Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth are three players that aren't the most exciting starting options heading into Week 12.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Isiah Pacheco, Kareem Hunt, Rhamondre Stevenson, Rico Dowdle, Javonte Williams

It's a great feeling to have players who are sure-fire starters every week and rack up huge point totals regularly. However, most teams aren't loaded with premier top-10 players at their positions. Most teams' RB2 and RB3/FLEX players have plenty of variability in their weekly scoring. There are also changes that shake up many backfields […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Russell Wilson, Najee Harris, George Pickens

The Pittsburgh Steelers will play the Cleveland Browns tonight on Thursday Night Football, and three of their players have been fantasy contributors in many managers' starting lineups this season.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Nick Chubb, David Njoku, Jameis Winston

The Cleveland Browns will welcome their bitter divisional rivals, the Pittsburgh Steelers, to Huntington Bank Field in Cleveland for their first matchup of the season.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Mike Evans, Nico Collins, Nick Westbrook-Ikhine, Sterling Shepard, Jalen Coker

Every year in fantasy football, there are a variety of wide receivers that fit into certain tiers.

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Rachaad White, Raheem Mostert, Brian Robinson Jr., Ameer Abdullah, Gus Edwards

The running back position makes or breaks many fantasy teams. Dud games from RBs, who are typically supposed to provide a safe floor, especially in PPR leagues, can crush your chances of winning your week or even making the playoffs. Evaluating which ones to start is extremely important. Five commonly rostered backs in 2024 are […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 12? Deebo Samuel, DK Metcalf, Zay Flowers, Terry McLaurin, Rome Odunze

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr., Seattle Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf, Baltimore Ravens Zay Flowers, Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin, and Chicago Bears wide receiver Rome Odunze are rostered in the vast majority of leagues.
