Week 12 marks the first "Byemageddon” of the NFL season in fantasy football. A season-high six teams have their bye this week: the New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons, Buffalo Bills, Cincinnati Bengals, Jacksonville Jaguars, and New Orleans Saints. Next week, fantasy football managers get a reprieve before another "Byemageddon" of six teams off in Week 14.

That means a lot of tough choices for fantasy football managers trying to put together their starting lineups this week.
