We’re starting with the Steelers (@ Bengals) at No. 1 again – they’re simply too good to be held down in a favorable matchup two weeks in a row. The disappointing Bears (vs. Bears) are also in a good spot against turnover-machine Daniel Jones. After that, things start getting tricky, but when in doubt, we keep picking on shaky quarterbacks.
WEEK 12 NON-PPR RANKINGS:Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | Kicker
We have several potential streamers in the top 15, including the Raiders (@ Jets), Lions (@ Redskins), Browns (vs. Dolphins), Redskins (vs. Lions), and Falcons (vs. Buccaneers). None are particularly reliable, but their matchups generally are. That puts them in better positions than, say, the Panthers (@ Saints), Rams (vs. Ravens) and even the 49ers (vs. Packers) and Patriots (vs. Cowboys). We still suggest starting the latter two because of how good they’ve been this season, but there’s a case to be made for sitting them.
WEEK 12 PPR RANKINGS: Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end
Ultimately, this looks like it’s going to be a tough week for a lot of fantasy owners, so don’t be afraid to take chances with your D/ST, especially if you’re on the outside looking in at a postseason spot.
