Welcome to Week 12 of The Worksheet, a comprehensive fantasy football preview, by Rich Hribar.
What is The Worksheet from Rich Hribar?
The Worksheet is a comprehensive weekly fantasy football preview for each NFL game. Rich Hribar analyzes the matchup for every notable fantasy player for every game every week of the NFL season.
After this week, we will officially be two-thirds of the way through the NFL regular season.
It is wild how fast time moves in the NFL. Sample sizes still feel small and consistently shifting.
Week 12 is pivotal in the fantasy football landscape.
This is the home stretch of the fantasy regular season.
It is the final week of the FFPC regular season for those who participate in that format.
Many seasonal leagues are in their final three weeks of finalizing playoff spots.
We have our largest bye week of the season with six teams off this week.
The Falcons, Bills, Bengals, Jaguars, Saints, and Jets all have the week off, removing a lot of pass-catching firepower from the board.
Ja’Marr Chase, Drake London, Tee Higgins, Garrett Wilson, Darnell Mooney, Davante Adams, Khalil Shakir, and Brian Thomas Jr. have been weekly starters for many.
Wide receivers have already had a down year, so gamers may be thin this weekend.
Alvin Kamara, Bijan Robinson, Breece Hall, James Cook, and Chase Brown are significant hits to the front end of the running back position.
We also have Josh Allen and Joe Burrow on ice for a week.
If injuries or misfortune have worked against you this season, there is still plenty of DFS action to get into and make the most of the remainder of the season.
