Week 12 is one of the more significant bye weeks of the season, with Week 14 its primary rival in terms of volume and fantasy playoff impact.

We had some mixed results in this space last week. Aaron Jones and Darnell Mooney were a couple of our boom picks. Both had solid games, but neither one was likely the reason you won your match.
