Week 12 Fantasy Football Rankings

This week is such a pivotal week in fantasy football for most owners as season long playoff seeding is usually decided after week 13.  Teams sitting on 6-5 records (like me in the Standard scoring Flex Leagues) need a win to keep pace and not fall back into the dreaded 6-6 pile that end up having to rely on tie-breakers for playoff births.  You may be surprised by some of the players I think you should or could bench this week, starting with Mr. Wonderful himself, Tom Brady.  Others that I’m luke warm to include Dez Bryant, Demaryius Thomas and Chris Ivory.  I am also higher on Ben Roethlisberger, TJ Yeldon, and Willie Snead than most.  While I always wish you the best, this week I also want to wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

Week 11 Fantasy Football Rankings

This week the Fantasy Gods decided to take away all of our whipping boys at once. The Saints, Giants, Browns and Steelers all are on bye. Not only do these teams possess defenses (Besides Steelers Run D) we fantasy footballers like to target they also have some of the best quarter back and receiving options available in the NFL.  With Ben Roethlisberger, Eli Manning and Drew Brees on a bye you may have to dig deep and trust the rankings of an analyst, like myself, to grab the right QB streaming option.  No streaming option had his estimated points drop more than Kirk Cousins this week as he goes from facing the Saints to facing the Carolina Panthers.  I would suggest looking at other options such as Matthew Stafford, Ryan Fitzpatrick or Alex Smith.  For all of your other ranking needs look below and also check out the Start/Sit Tool located to the right of this post.  Remember to check back as the week goes on as players get ruled out and outlooks change.

With the Colts, Falcons, Chargers and 49ers on a bye many of you may be looking for who to start this week. (Okay, maybe not the 49ers or the Colts at this point.)  Hopefully the week 10 fantasy football rankings below will help you with your choices.  The injury to Allen Hurns at the end of the Jaguars Vs. Jets game really makes me mad as he has a golden match up against a still struggling Baltimore Ravens secondary.  With that in mind you may have to move Allen Robinson up a few pegs this week.  The injury to Prince Amukamara has made the Giants pass D especially week against teams secondary wide receivers and this week the Giants face Brandon Lafell coming off of his best game since he returned from a foot injury.

LaFell vs. Jayron Hosley. Fire him up. https://t.co/1sdnTHqI00

James Starks has taken over the lead RB role in Green Bay and Aaron Rodgers could take out some frustration on the Detroit Lions in week 10.  I like bumping up teams running games coming off of a bye, but the Cardinals and Seahawks get to face each other in a match up that doesn’t invite top notch out put.
