Week 12 fantasy football advice
He only turned 13 fantasy points in standard ESPN leagues, but for those on the fence about how viable he is off the injury, don’t worry about it expect Romo to be Tony Romo. This ranks them as the second worst in this category behind KC who play the Bill this week so yeah… you may want to play Sammy Watkins. The Packers have been even stingier against RBs lately, giving up just 28 total fantasy points to them over the past three games.
RB Jonathan Stewart, Carolina Panthers: The Panthers probably won’t test the Dallas Cowboys’ surprisingly effective pass defense, but quarterback Cam Newton will continue to open up running lanes for Stewart, who has at least 20 carries and 78 rushing yards in each of his last six games. They’re last in points allowed to running backs as they have given up 12 rushing touchdowns. If you stop the QB, you stop the WRs; if you stop the QB and WRs, then you turn the offense into a one-dimensional process that is infinitely easier to shut down. I took Hoyer earlier, so I’m counting on Nuk to make the quarterback look good. And, that was against a terrible Bears defense.
The New York Giants have given up the second-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks and tight ends over the past five weeks. You’re starting with a given amount of money and purchasing the players based on their prices. Yeldon is averaging four targets per game and has been the team’s workhorse for most of the season. Predicted game scripts went awry. New Orleans will be back in action as they play the Jazz in Utah tonight, but they’ll likely be without Anthony Davis who burned those of us who had him in DFS yesterday when he left the game early with a knee injury. While Ware did put up an impressive line of 96 yards and 2 TDs, it should be noted that it was against the Chargers (worst in the National Football League against RBs), and with the game clearly over.
For the most part, you know what you’re getting from Marvin Jones – a few catches, solid yardage and, at the end of the day, WR3 production, good enough to keep on a roster. However, both of these players are miles ahead of the competition-the next closest is Carlos Hyde of the San Francisco 49ers with 32 misses, and no other running back has forced more than 30 misses so far this season. He is boom-or-bust, and his value is largely dependent on his ability to find the endzone. Remember, FanDuel at this point does not allow late-swapping, so once the first game tips at 7:00 your entire lineup is locked in.
On the Chicago side, touches were split almost evenly on Thursday between Matt Forte and rookie Jeremy Langford. Cole Beasley also chipped in with 44 yards and a score, but will be sent back into the waiver wire abyss with Romo out again. I especially like him going against a bad Saints defense. Oakland, a pass-first club, should lean more on Derek Carr and Co. than the backs, unless it’s in the passing game, which typically excludes Murray. Ebron has admitted that he is having trouble adjusting to new OC Jim Bob Cooter’s offense.
