Fantasy Football Week 12: Players to start or sit

Sit and start is relative and league dependent, so consider some of these suggestions more “fliers” and “fades” (note that some are targeted for DFS).

Good luck with your Week 12 lineups.

Las Vegas Raiders @ Atlanta Falcons

Start: Derek Carr, Russell Gage

The Falcons have allowed a whopping 8.4 YPA and the most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season, while Carr has the third-best Passer Rating when not under pressure. It’s an especially good matchup for Carr, as the Falcons have quietly been the stingiest defense against fantasy backs recently but are vulnerable to Las Vegas’ strength, allowing the most fantasy points to tight ends this season.
