Thursday Night Edition
Week
12 Diamonds in the Rough
This is the final stretch of the fantasy
football regular season as we have now entered week 12. With the bye weeks
complete, there are still 13 games left on the slate and plenty of gems waiting
to be inserted into your lineup this week.
Tyrod
Taylor returns to the lineup.
After the Nathan Peterman failure last
week, the Bills are going to go back to quarterback Tyrod Taylor. The Bills
new, old starter is currently the No.14 fantasy QB through 11 weeks and will
face the Chiefs 28th ranked pass defense that allows the 9th most fantasy
points to opposing quarterbacks. The Chiefs are in a slide right now and Taylor
may have some vengeance on his mind this week. There are not a lot of signs
pointing toward a big game, but any given Sunday may apply.
A
change in Denver could mean more changes
The Broncos offense is in turmoil,
currently one of the worst in the leagues, but a recent bright spot has been
2nd year running back Devontae Booker. The Broncos running back has steadily
seen his role and production grow in the offense with Week 11 being his best
game of the season. His 19 touches and 98 total yards were season highs and the
best that the backfield has seen in weeks. With the recent firing of Mike
McCoy, the offense will be under new direction which could open the door to
changes; new starter, new workload split, etc. This is a situation worth
monitoring.
Time
for the Bee-sting of Martavis
The Steelers offense finally showed some
real life in week 11 rolling up 40 points against the Titans. One missing component
of the Killers Bees this season has been the Steelers wide receiver Martavis
Bryant. Through 11 weeks he’s barely been a blip on anyone’s radar and there’s
been even less reason for him to be. With the Steelers offense looking like
it’s getting ready to start rolling again, Bryant could be in line for a
potential breakout game. This Sunday night is a prime matchup at home against a
Packers defense that’s allowed the 5th most fantasy points to opposing
receivers over its past four games. Bryant is more likely a boom or bust
option, but if you need to reach, he could answer the call.
That's My Take.
