Saturday Evening Edition
Week
12 Perfect Line up
(NFL.com)
I am just like most fantasy football nuts,
I love to play the games and all of the games. Every week I take my shots and
let the Hail Marys fall where they may and included is the weekly Perfect
Lineup on the NFL site. My track record has not been great of late, as I like
to play the numbers, mixed in with a little bit gut-feelings and intuition.
Last week my team tanked big, but that’s the great thing about fantasy, there’s
another week to play until there isn’t. Here are my picks for Week 12;
QB-Ben
Roethlisberger; The expectation is this offense is going to breakout at some
point and while 40 points last week and subsequently a nice passing day from
Big Ben (299 yards and 4 touchdowns) would be good indicators, that type of
game falls a little short. It’s a great start nonetheless and has generated
some buzz, but my gut is telling me this week is the boom week for Big Ben and
the offense; bigger than last week.
RB-Kareem
Hunt;
Last week the hopes were high for Hunt and the Chiefs offense, but
unfortunately there was only disappointment. This week owners will be singing a
different tune with Hunt and company taking on the (Bills) worst run defense in
the league over the past month.
RB-Mark
Ingram;
The Saints starting running back Mark Ingram is the league’s No.6 RB in
standard and PPR, but over the past two weeks he’s number one. Ingram has lead
the charge in his last two games with 287 scrimmage yards and 4 touchdowns and
Sunday he faces a Rams defense that has allowed the 3rd most fantasy points to
opposing running backs for the season.
WR-TY
Hilton;
Over the past month, only one defense against opposing wide receivers has been
worse than the Titans. In the last four weeks the Titans defense has allowed
the 2nd most touchdowns (6) and fantasy points to opposing receivers. This
sounds like a very good matchup for wide receiver TY Hilton and with his
quarterback Jacoby Brissett cleared for Sunday, all signs point toward big day.
WR-Julio
Jones;
The Falcons receiver is healthy this week or as healthy as he’s been this
season and it comes in time for fantasy owners. The Falcons draw the Bucs this
week and their 29th ranked pass defense and a secondary that has allowed the
most receiving yards, most receptions, and 3rd most touchdowns to opposing
receivers.
TE-Rob
Gronkowski;
The Patriots tight end was held in check a week ago with just three catches for
12 yards, but Gronk still managed to find the end zone. I would expect a
healthier Gronk to enjoy greater success this week against the Dolphins. Gronk
is always a Brady favorite in the red zone and could be looking at one of his
multi-touchdown weeks.
PK-Justin
Tucker; I
am expecting the Ravens offense to have some great success moving the ball and
as per usual of the offense this season, they will be calling on the sure
footed Justin Tucker.
Steelers
Defense;
This looks like great matchup for the Steelers defense, a home matchup against
a backup quarterback (Brett Hundley) that has been struggling. Hundley is
coming off a three-pick performance a week ago. Look for the Steelers defense
to turn up the heat and bring lots of pressure, early and often.
That's My Take.
