Fantasy Football: Who to start and sit in Week 12
Start:
Jamison Crowder, NYJ, vs. LAC
Crowder hasn’t been as effective in the past few weeks due to injury and QB controversy but he gets his guy back this week. Sam Darnold is back in the lineup for the Jets and Crowder is his favorite target. Like every game this season, the Jets will most likely be down and are going to be forced to throw the ball a lot. This gives Crowder the opportunity to break out again.
Hunter Henry, LAC, vs. NYJ
Henry has played exceptionally well these past few weeks. Although his targets haven’t been there this season, when he finds the end zone his fantasy owners are very happy. I believe he will find the end zone for a third straight week and once against put up 10+ fantasy points.
Sit:
Tyler Boyd and Tee Higgins, Cin, vs. NYG
Like I mentioned before Boyd and Higgins have been one of the best duos to start off the season. With an unexpected injury to Joe Burrow, I don’t love either of these guys this week. As a fantasy owner, I’d look to see how Brandon Allen plays and if their targets are there start them for the rest of the year. Allen hasn’t played a snap since 2019 and I am hesitant that he will play well.
Marquise Brown, Bal, vs. Pit
Hollywood has had a brutal second half of the fantasy year. He started off the season seeing consistent touches but recently he has struggled. he has struggled to get open and as a smaller wide receiver, he has to create more space in order to get touches. Brown also has to face a tough Steelers defense who have given smaller wide receivers problems this year.
