Week 12 is shaping up to be one of the toughest challenges for fantasy football managers, with six teams on bye and rosters stretched to the limit. Success this week means digging deep and finding value in players who might not typically make your starting lineup but have the potential to step up when it counts. It’s all about maximizing matchups and uncovering some overlooked players.
This week, we’re focusing on Luke Schoonmaker, Devin Singletary, and Kendrick Bourne—three players with very different roles and situations. Whether it’s Schoonmaker’s upside as a tight end in a favorable matchup, Singletary’s opportunity to shine in his backfield, or Bourne’s ability to capitalize on targets in a thin receiving corps, each presents a mix of risk and reward for Week 12.
With so many go-to options unavailable, finding the right balance between consistency and upside is more important than ever. Schoonmaker, Singletary, and Bourne each offer unique paths to production depending on your league format and roster needs. Whether you’re clawing for a playoff spot or looking to lock down your dominance, let’s break down what these three players can bring for Week 12.
Should I Start Luke Schoonmaker for Fantasy Football?
Luke Schoonmaker is an interesting play in fantasy football for Week 12. Starting tight end Jake Ferguson is currently sidelined with a concussion and will miss this week's contest. Without many reliable options in the Cowboys passing game, Schoonmaker has some potential value this week if you're in a pinch.
Tight End Sleeper
- Luke Schoonmaker (17%)
🔹Saw 10 targets last week against the Texans, translating to 8 fantasy points—not flashy, but the volume is undeniable.

Schoonmaker saw 10 total targets on MNF in Week 11 and finished with six receptions for 56 yards. While it's hard to feel optimistic about the Dallas offense for fantasy with quarterback Cooper Rush filling in for Dak Prescott, he can be started in deeper formats or TE premium leagues if you're in a bind.
Should I Start Devin Singletary for Fantasy Football?
It's been a disappointing year for Devin Singletary in fantasy. After signing with the New York Giants this offseason to reunite with Brian Daboll (his former offensive coordinator in Buffalo) after Saquon Barkley left for Philadelphia in free agency, many were optimistic about Singletary's chances.
However, he has been outplayed by rookie running back Tyrone Tracy Jr. and has now been relegated to backup duties in their backfield.
Tyrone Tracy is averaging 18.2 touches per game since Week 5 while logging 68% of the snaps (7th among RB)
However, he ranks 26th among RBs in target share during that span (7.5%).
Daniel Jones' checkdown rate this year: 8.9%
Tommy Devito in 2023: 16%— Adam Pfeifer (@APfeifer24) November 24, 2024
The Giants face a stout Tampa run defense in Week 12, and Singletary has just 26 touches over the team's last four games. He's a handcuff at this point, so don't expect much.
Should I Start Kendrick Bourne for Fantasy Football?
Kendrick Bourne missed the first four games of 2024 while recovering from an injury, and the Patriots offense was mostly limited early in the season, with veteran Jacoby Brissett at quarterback. However, now that the switch has been made to rookie Drake Maye, there is some optimism in New England again.

— Kendrick Bourne Poly (@BournePoly11) November 23, 2024
In Week 11 against the Rams, Bourne had his best game of the season with five receptions for 70 yards and one touchdown. It was hardly an electric performance, but Bourne has begun to become more involved in New England's offense over the last several weeks. He has a solid matchup against the Miami Dolphins in Week 12, but we just need to see more from him to feel more confident going forward.
Given the difficulty of these picks, Schoonmaker is likely the best option of the three, given the lack of target competition around him in what could be a solid matchup.
