Send us a text

Get ready for Week 12 as I break down my top starts, sits, sleepers, and busts by position! Whether you're managing a playoff push or just aiming to crush your league-mates, this episode has everything you need to dominate.

Quarterbacks (QB):
For Week 12, Kyler Murray is a top start, thanks to his rushing upside and a favorable matchup. On the other hand, avoid starting Sam Darnold, who has a tough matchup this week. If you need a sleeper, CJ Stroud could outperform projections this week, while Anthony Richardson lands as a bust due to his risky floor and matchup.

Running Backs (RB):
Brian Robinson Jr. is a must-start, especially given his recent involvement and a juicy matchup. Steer clear of Roschon Johnson, whose workload remains uncertain. Looking for a sleeper? Ameer Abdullah could provide sneaky value, but Chuba Hubbard is shaping up to be a bust with a tough matchup/

Wide Receivers (WR):
DK Metcalf tops the starts list, with plenty of opportunity to dominate in Week 12. Avoid Michael Pittman Jr., who has been inconsistent. For sleepers, keep an eye on DeAndre Hopkins and Quentin Johnston, with Noah Brown as a deep sleeper for those in a pinch. Courtland Sutton, however, is likely to disappoint as a bust.

Tight Ends (TE):
Will Dissly makes the starts list this week as a red-zone threat, while Tucker Kraft should be avoided due to lack of production. Dallas Goedert is a sleeper candidate with potential for solid volume, but Dalton Schultz could disappoint and lands as a bust this week.

Flex (FLX):
Marvin Harrison Jr. is a strong flex play and should be in your lineups. Jaylen Waddle, however, might struggle and is better left on the bench. Quentin Johnston and Noah Brown are intriguing sleeper options, while Keenan Allen has bust potential this week.

Kickers (K):
Cameron Dicker is a reliable start for Week 12, while Cairo Santos doesn’t offer enough upside to justify a roster spot. Jason Meyers is a sleeper pick if you’re streaming kickers, but avoid Brandon Aubrey, who could underperform.

Defenses (DST):
The Commanders DST is a great start against a struggling offense, while the Ravens DST might let you down this week. If you need a sleeper, consider rolling with the Dolphins DST, but avoid the Rams DST, who could end up being a bust.
