Week 12 Start 'Em Sit 'Em!

Start 'Em Tom Brady : Brady has been somewhat inconsistent this year but has bounced back after his rough weeks. After his two TO performance and a tough loss to the Rams, there's no doubt he'll be hungry to redeem himself this week. With the Chiefs coming to Tampa, it's a battle of the GOAT against the future of the NFL and Brady is going to want to out-perform Mahomes. This should be a high-scoring affair and the Bucs need this win to stay in the NFC South race. Brady knows what's at stake and won't have a repeat of his game last week. Fire him up as a possible top 5 QB option this week. Wayne Gallman : Gallman has been a quiet RB2 in his last four starts and has established himself as a must-start. He's gone up against Philadelphia twice, Washington and Tampa Bay in those starts who are all top 10 in rush defense. He's managed 253 total yards and 5 TDs in that span which is outstanding considering the opposition. This week, the NYG gets to play the Be...

Week 12 Sleepers!

Carson Wentz : Wentz is in the middle of an abysmal season and Doug Peterson is being called on to bench him. Wentz knows he needs to step it up as the Eagles are right in the mix to win the NFC East. This week, the Eagles will play host to Seattle and their league-worst passing defense. This is Wentz's chance to prove that he is still worthy of starting for Philadelphia. In every game the Seahawks have played, opposing QBs have had some of the best games of their careers. If Wentz doesn't have a great game, his fantasy value for the rest of the season is absolutely none. If you stream QBs, Wentz is a good option as he has to show up for his team against a horrible secondary. Derek Carr : Carr has been a surprisingly consistent fantasy option this year and has a mouthwatering matchup in Atlanta this weekend. Coming off a tough loss against KC in which Carr passed for 275 yards, 3 TDs and an INT, he's poised for another big game. Atlanta has been stout against the run all ye...

Week 11 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Start 'Em Ben Roethlisberger : Roethlisberger was playing solid ball up until two weeks ago when he decided to show fantasy owners he's still got it. He's passed for 639 yards and 7 TDs in that span while throwing no INTs. Pittsburgh has Smith-Schuster, Claypool and Johnson as their top 3 WRs which gives Roethlisberger three of the league's top threats to choose from. This week, he gets a good matchup in Jacksonville as he looks to keep his hot streak alive. With James Conner and the running game struggling, Big Ben could be carrying the load offensively once again. Fire him up as a top 5 play this week. Kalen Ballage : Ballage has taken over the Chargers backfield over the past two weeks and will be starting once more before Ekeler's projected week 12 return. In two games as a starter, he has combined for 186 total yards and a score. This week, the Chargers play host to the Jets who have given up 27 fantasy points a game to opposing RBs, and Ballage should be able ...

Week 11 Sleepers

Alex Smith : It's been two years since Smith's gruesome leg injury against the Texans in 2018. In his first two games back from injury he has passed for over 700 total yards with a TD and 3 INTs. These numbers aren't great for fantasy by any means but they do show that he has been successful in moving the ball. This week, Washington plays host to the Bengals who have one of the league's worst pass defenses. There's no doubt that Smith will be able to move the ball in this one. As long as Gibson doesn't vulture his TDs like he did last week, Smith should be able to have a 20+ point fantasy performance. Damien Harris : Harris has already made an appearance on my sleepers list but didn't have the game I had hoped for. This week, in Houston, I believe he'll have his biggest game of the season. In week 10, he rushed the ball 22 times for 121 against Baltimore's stout rush defense. If he can do that against one of the league's best, he should be able t...

Week 10 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Start 'Em Jared Goff : Goff has been inconsistent all year but overall has produced somewhat well given his tough schedule. This week, he gets the Seahawks at home and has a chance to blow up. Seattle has the worst defense in the NFL by a long shot especially in the secondary. Every QB who has played the Seahawks have had one of their best games of the season. Goff has one of the league's best offensive lines and he'll have plenty of time to pick and choose what WR he wants to throw to. He has the chance to be the QB1 for week 10 and he's a must-start in all formats. Kareem Hunt : Hunt has been a consistent fantasy player all year scoring under ten points in just two contests. This week, he gets his easiest matchup of the season in the Houston Texans who have allowed RBs to run ramped against them. Nick Chubb's status remains up in the air for this one and if he doesn't suit up, it'll be an added boost for Hunt. Even if Chubb is ready to go, Hunt will still ...

Week 9 Start 'Em Sit 'Em

Start 'Em Justin Herbert : Herbert has been balling all year dipping below 20 fantasy points just once in 6 games and averaging 24.5 on the season. This week, he gets the Raiders in a favorable matchup in a game the Chargers have to win. Herbert always has upside since the Chargers defense gives up so many points and he has to throw. He's a top 5 play this week in what should be a high scoring affair. David Montgomery : Montgomery has been inconsistent all year but has only two games above 14 points in PPR formats. He as well as the Bears have had a tough schedule up to this point but things should open up for them in the ladder half of the season. Montgomery has the most yards after contact in the league and runs hard every game. Chicago's miserable offensive line should be able to hold their own somewhat against a mediocre Tennessee pass rush giving him more lanes than usual. Montgomery should have one of his better games of the season this week. Will Fuller : Fuller has ...

Week 9 Sleepers

Cam Newton : Newton has had his ups and downs this year but has a favorable matchup this week against the Jets. The only game in which he's had success passing was against the Seahawks' horrible secondary, but his rushing ability has given him fantasy upside. With a mouthwatering matchup, I think the Patriots will be able to move the ball and Newton will be able to get you 10+ fantasy points on the ground. He should also be able to find room through the air which makes him a solid play if you're in need of a QB stream. Ben Roethlisberger : Big Ben and the Steelers are cruising to a league-best 7-0. This week, they get the privilege of playing at Dallas which will make them perfect through half the season. Dallas' secondary will be destroyed by Diontae Johnson and company while Roethlisberger should be able to find space all game. He's been average all year but should score 20+ fantasy points with ease in this one and is worth a stream if you need one. Chase Edmonds ...
