This is it, fantasy football fans. The final slate of bye weeks is upon us, and for many season-long leagues, the postseasons are soon to follow. If you can successfully navigate Week 12, you should be able to head into the postseason with all the fantasy studs you drafted—the healthy ones anyway—at your disposal.
Making it through the week, of course, is the challenge. The Arizona Cardinals, Kansas City Chiefs, Los Angeles Chargers and Minnesota Vikings are out of action, meaning plenty of top fantasy stars are unavailable.
For many fantasy managers, this will require playing the matchups with middle-tier players to compensate.
