Robbie Gould Has Plus Matchup In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers kicker Robbie Gould is a possible streaming option in Week 12 when he takes on the New Orleans Saints. The Saints are allowing 8.6 kicking points per game, fifth-most in the NFL.

Matt Gay A Risky Streaming Option In Week 12

Los Angeles Rams kicker Matt Gay is a risky option in Week 12 who is best avoided when the Rams take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Top LA offensive weapon Cooper Kupp was already on the injured reserve. Now QB Matthew Stafford has been declared out, and Bryce Perkins will start for the first time […]

George Kittle Remains A Strong Start Even In Tough Matchup

San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle faces a New Orleans Saints defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season.

San Francisco 49ers running back Elijah Mitchell faces a New Orleans Saints defense that has allowed the eighth-most rushing yards to opposing RBs this season.

Christian McCaffrey A Must-Start RB1

San Francisco 49ers running back Christian McCaffrey faces a New Orleans Saints defense that has allowed the 14th-most points to opposing fantasy RBs.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel had a boom game last week against the Arizona Cardinals, and now he will look to build on it in Week 12 against the New Orleans Saints.

Brandon Aiyuk A Quality Start In Week 12

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk faces a New Orleans Saints defense that is allowing the ninth-most receiving yards to opposing fantasy WRs in Week 12.

Tyler Higbee Could See High Volume In Week 12

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee could see a large volume of targets in the Rams' Week 12 road matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cam Akers A Possible Start In Deep Leagues

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers should see the bulk of the carries in the Rams' Week 12 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Van Jefferson Not A Viable Starting Option

Allen Robinson II A Flex Option In Deep Leagues

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Allen Robinson II visits Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in Week 12.

Bryce Perkins Gets Kansas City In First Start

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Bryce Perkins is expected to start against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 12. It will be Perkins' first career start.
