Quarterbacks To Play in Week 12
1. Joshua Dobbs, Minnesota Vikings
2. Trevor Lawrence, Jacksonville Jaguars
Joshua Dobbs will look to rebound from a loss last weekend to the Broncos. He'll take on a much easier opponent in the Chicago Bears, who have been one of the worst defenses in the NFL this year. Meanwhile, Trevor Lawrence excelled last weekend, earning 262 yards passing with two touchdowns and no interceptions against the Titans. A similar performance this weekend against the Texans is in the cards.
Dobbs is heating up and he can only get hotter in Week 12 so it's an easy decision. Make sure you're hammering Dobbs prop bets at DraftKings right now
Quarterbacks To Sit in Week 12
3. Matthew Stafford, Los Angeles Rams
4. Sam Howell, Washington Commanders
5. Jordan Love, Green Bay Packers
As long as Cooper Kupp is out, Matthew Stafford isn't a great option moving forward. Meanwhile, Sam Howell has had success against the Cowboys previously. But with Dallas at home, it's a whole other ball game. Finally, Jordan Love's inconsistency is why you shouldn't play him or any Packers players in fantasy right now.
Running Backs To Play in Week 12
6. Jaylen Warren, Pittsburgh Steelers
7. Zach Charbonnet, Seattle Seahawks
8. James Conner, Arizona Cardinals
Jaylen Warren is the real deal. Most of us knew this. But now that he's getting the actual reps, it's showing. Warren rushed for 129 yards and a touchdown last weekend, adding three catches for 16 yards. He's got a quality matchup against a poor Cincinnati defense. Meanwhile, Zach Charbonnet doesn't have the best matchup against the 49ers. But he'll likely start in place of an injured Kenneth Walker II. I also like James Conner against the Rams. He's added 4.4 yards per carry since he returned to the field and added 14 carries for 62 yards last weekend. The touchdowns will come!
Running Backs To Sit in Week 12
9. Darrell Henderson Jr., Los Angeles Rams
10. Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers
Darrell Henderson Jr. won't make the same impact he had been making. Kyren Williams could return, and Royce Freeman saw more carries last weekend. Stay away from Darrel Henderson Jr. Meanwhile, Najee Harris will likely lose carries to Jaylen Warren after last weekend. Harris added only 35 yards on 12 carries in last week's game.
Wide Receivers To Play in Week 12
11. Courtland Sutton, Denver Broncos
12. Josh Downs, Indianapolis Colts
I know Courtland Sutton and the Broncos play the Browns. But the Browns' defense will regress against a Denver offense that is at least moving the ball this year. Someone's got to catch the passes from Russell Wilson. It'll be Sutton. As long as Josh Downs is healthy, he'll be a viable option each week at receiver. His matchup against the Buccaneers looks super appealing.
Hammer Courtland Sutton overs at Ceasars right now. Bet up to $50 and get $250 that Sutton has another massive week and don't worry about losing!
Wide Receivers To Sit in Week 12
13. Diontae Johnson, Pittsburgh Steelers
14. Christian Watson, Green Bay Packers
15. Drake London, Atlanta Falcons
We're just listing some of the worst offenses in the NFL. The Steelers can't get anything going with Kenny Pickett. The Packers are inconsistent with Jordan Love. Meanwhile, Desmond Ridder is back as the starter for the Falcons. Stay away from those three offenses in the passing game.
Tight Ends To Play in Week 12
16. Isaiah Likely, Baltimore Ravens
17. Donald Parham, Los Angeles Chargers
Isaiah Likely will get the No. 1 tight end spot with Mark Andrews out for the year. Meanwhile, Donald Parham just got six targets against the Packers with Gerald Everett out due to a chest injury. Parham is a viable option at tight end as long as Everett is out again.
Can Isaiah Likely step up and deliver in Week 12? He's consistently producing. Well, FanDuel is the place to bet on Likely props right now!
Tight Ends To Sit in Week 12
18. Cade Otton, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
19. Kyle Pitts, Atlanta Falcons
20. Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers
Until Cade Otton consistently finds the end zone, he won't work out as a streaming-tight end. Meanwhile, Kyle Pitts is busy missing practice due to an injury. That's not ideal. Lastly, I'm not considering Pat Freiermuth or any receivers on the Steelers.
