Week 12 Recap
I felt like the Thanksgiving LIVE show this week was the best show we did all year long (highly recommend going back and checking out from Cust Corner on if you missed it), but this was definitely the best Sunday Night Live show of the season… So far. James (Degenerate75) was awesome once again.
It doesn’t hurt that I surged up the DraftKings leaderboard in real time with watching Hurts pile up DK Points in the second half. But we got to react to the conclusion of the BUF/PHI game in real time, which was fun, no matter how bummed Paul was sat the outcome. Out on the pod feeds already, and of course, the video is UP.

Week 12 Team By Team Notes
CLE: Jerome Ford was efficient, just not used enough for our liking. He's still the guy in this backfield that I like most and, realistically, the guy on this team I like most.. David Njoku continues to see plenty of looks, but the value of those looks is obviously a serious question
DEN: The Broncos continue to impress and not do a ton for us. Jeudy is a player that can't be near starting lineups until proven otherwise. The only thing I realistically watch for Denver on a weekly basis is the snap share of Marvin Mims and if I can feel decent about rostering him in deeper leagues where a YOLO option in the playoffs might make sense.
LAR: Like we thought, Kyren Williams was THE guy. The team cut Darrell Henderson during the week and featured Williams in his return to action. He should be locked into fantasy lineups the rest of the way while this pass game appears destined to struggle to sustain two pass catchers (and no, I'm not buying into Higbee because of this one big game, leave him on your wire).
AZ: I'm not sure that Michael Wilson will matter when he returns, but it's reasonably clear that they don't have a third pass catcher they trust next to Hollywood and McBride. I'd still roster him in deeper formats until we get health clarity.
KC: Rashee Rice had a drop, but he also had a few plays that we've been calling for. This kid is legit and as the WR1 in KC, he has the potential to be special down the stretch.
LV: It was nice to see Jakobi Meyers get into the end zone. He and Adams remain on the fringes of WR2 status ... talented players, but this offense obviously comes with limitations.
BUF: Safe to say that the Bills have unleashed the aggressive Josh Allen as far as a runner is concerned and that makes him a threat to be the best fantasy player in any given week. James Cook's involvement in the pass game was encouraging
PHI: This is lining up to end poorly. The Eagles may not have a ton to play for down the stretch ... they get the Giants twice and Cardinals over those three weeks. How much volume can we realistically expect to see for Smith/Brown in those games? They may be a reason why you are in a spot to compete, but it's possible they crumble when it matters most for you. You've been warned.
NO: Nobody is healthy among the Saint receivers these days ... Taysom Hill is a locked in fantasy starter and could be a league winner if you catch one of those crazy games in any of the late season favorable spots (CAR-NYG-LAR-TB to end the fantasy season)
ATL: Amazing what featuring Bijan Robinson does. The dude is as talented as we all thought this summer and he's starting to get the opportunities we assumed he'd have from the jump. He's an elite option ROS and on the short list of running backs who are worth investing in for the long-term.
PIT: The MUTH was the big winner of the Matt Canada is gone party. Is that going to continue? Probably not, but volume like that doesn't happen by mistake. I've got him as a top 10 tight end in my early Week 13 rankings and that'll be a spot he fills more often than not.
CIN: Chase's numbers work, but let's not forget that he was just catching deflected passes at a weird rate. There's no one in this offense that is a fantasy lock with Joe Burrow sidelined.
CAR: We might have our answer to what the stronger force is -- Thielen's veteran experience or Bryce Young's ineptitude. Thielen was a locked in WR2 a month ago, but he's no longer safe in any format. He's more valuable in PPR leagues, but Young is not in the business of helping your fantasy team.
TEN: The game script was favorable and guess what -- Derrick Henry paid off! We know what the Dolphins are capable of and betting against C.J. Stroud putting points on the board is dangerous ... the Titans play three games against those two opponents in the final four weeks of the fantasy season and that could leave Henry managers wanting more.
TB: Rashaad White clears 100 total yards and Mike Evans scores twice. This is what the Bucs are. Chris Godwin is no longer on Flex radars in average sized leagues and Cade Otton isn't all that different from the dozen TEs at the top of your waiver wire.
IND: As simple as the Bucs are, the Colts might be even more so. It's JT and Pittman ... nothing else. Josh Downs looked healthy and that keeps him on rosters, but he isn't the type that you're starting weekly.
NE: Rhamondre Stevenson and Super Demario did what we figured in this spot. Neither offers enough upside outside of perfect matchups, but at least they got there for you this week in a 10-7 thriller.
NYG: Jalin Hyatt proves that he's an NFL guy and that's good for people in dynasty leagues, but doesn't matter for most. Saquon Barkley is in the Joe Mixon range -- you feel committed to him because of the draft capital, but the risk is just as high as the reward.
JAX: It was a slow burn, but another productive day for Calvin Ridley with an active Zay Jones. Evan Engram is getting dangerously close to scoring ... he'll get there. Could he be the guy this season who puts it all together for the fantasy stretch run?
HOU: I'm happy we get to see Lawrence vs Stroud for years to come. I'm not sure how much meat will be left on the bone for Noah Brown if Nico Collins/Tank Dell are going to see usage like this, but that's a worry for another day. It's likely Brown and Dalton Schultz that will see their production vary week-over-week, you can feel good about both of the primary WRs.
