Week 12 2025 who should I start thread **OFFICIALLY UNOFFICIAL** (3 Viewers)

[Skolpnw]

Ugly-Gross TE start help needed here fellas. Lost Kraft in a deep roster dynasty, not much to choose from.

TEP

Brock Wright v NYG
David Njoku @ LV (Likely OUT, but maybe)

I'm patiently waiting, and hoping that Waller comes back and is useful at some point.

FA's available you ask? Sure. But I'd have to make a tough drop, but here they are:

Taysom Hill v ATL (Taysom has a sweet tooth for ATL)
Darnell Washington @ CHI
Jackson Hawes @ HOU (I have Josh Allen)

Thanks. I realize this is NOT easy to help with, but any thoughts are appreciated.

LOL uhhhhhhhhh...

No earthly idea but, did you see this CRUSH ALL ENEMIES...

Washington>Puny TEs

Ok. I’m back for more thoughts on this TE start … Njoku is healthy, and will start.

He hasn’t been used the way that he should (imo) this season. Maybe Shedaur Sanders targets the big guy?

Njoku @ LV
Brock Wright v NYG
Darnell Washington @ CHI

If Lions are stomping the Giants maybe they try to get everybody, including Wright, a TD?

Not really a confident choice there, sorry and godspeed!

 

[Skolpnw]

Goff vs NYG
Purdy vs CAR

Tucker @ LAR
Gainwell @ CHI

Goff indoors against the NYG
Gainwell vs CHI's depleted defense

 

[Skolpnw]

Need one of:

T Henderson @ CIN (Mondre active)
S Tucker @ LAR (Bucky out)
B Tuten @ ARI (ETN active)

 

[OnTheReg]

Flacco or Bryce Young? Opponent had Allen who only got him 8 so I’m a decent favorite right now.

 

[OnTheReg]

Need one of:

T Henderson @ CIN (Mondre active)

B Tuten @ ARI (ETN active)

Henderson

 

[Apeman]

Flacco or Bryce Young? Opponent had Allen who only got him 8 so I’m a decent favorite right now.

I like Flacco. There’s so much more upside than Young.

 

[Apeman]

In PPR, if Jacobs plays, who do I sub in for Wilson?
Knight vs Jax
Charbonnet @ Tenn

 

[bcat01]

Mayfield vs Rams
Brissett vs Jags

 

[zeke2222]

Standard League Non PPR:

Flacco vs NE
Trevor Lawrence @ Ariz
Rodgers @ Chi
Winston @ Det

 

[zeke2222]

PPR Which Def:

Ravens Vs NYJ
GB vs Min
LV vs Clev

 

[Schmeabs]

PPR Need to start 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex
McCaffrey vs Carolina
Jeanty vs Cleveland
J Warren at Chicago
Gainwell at Chicago
E Wilson vs Minnesota
R Rice vs Indy
Jamo Williams vs New York G
Tetairoa McMillan at San Francisco
AJ Brown at Dallas

Thanks!

 

[Chaka]

Standard Old Man TD Heavy, Need 2 of 4:
Justin Jefferson
Odunze
Alec Pierce
Tet McMillan

Kinda gotta be Jefferson because he's still the best player at the position of your options. And probably Tet because Young doesn't have a lot of targets.

Odunze is interesting because the Pittsburgh pass D isn't good but, I'm not sure about weather and, this looks like a lower scoring game.

Pierce is really coming on but, I hate the matchup.

JJ>Tet>Odunze>Pierce

 

[Chaka]

OK last one:
I'm stuck on this one like a band-aid on a hairy arm:
FFPC scoring:
Need FOUR of the following:

A. Jones @ GB

J. Warren @ Chi (assuming he plays)

W. Robinson @ Det

X. Worthy vs Ind

D. Mooney @ NO

C. Watson vs Minn

Since you need four I immediately like Watson for the upside. He's your best home run option and, I like having someone like that in my lineup.

After Wan'Dale disappointed with Jameis last week, in still willing to risk that this could be the high volume week we expect when Winston is under center. He still got 9 looks last week.

Warren doesn't have a designation (trust but verify) so, I like him to slide back to more feature role again.

No interest in Worthy.

Between Jones & Mooney I probably lean Jones because, I know the Vikings will try to feed him and run clock.

I like Mooney but,.I don't trust Mooney.

Watson>Wan'Dale>Warren>Jones>Mooney>Worthy

 

[Chaka]

Superflex league. 4 pts per passing TD.

Burrow or Darnold?

* J. Burrow vs NE -- Assuming he starts of course. NE easier thrown on vs. run on. Attack should be pass heavy potentially playing catchup.

or

* S. Darnold @TN -- Good get right spot. May not be much need to throw much here in a potential blowout, but I'd expect high efficiency and a decent floor at minimum with potential for some long/easy TD throws.

Which?

Thanks

IMO, if Burrow starts, he starts.

Burrow>Darnold

 

[Chaka]

PPR league. This is only if K. Walker is ruled out.

* Z. Charbonet @ TN -- Would be a smash spot for sure especially if SEA gets up big. What's his name (Hononi??) would get touches as well, but...

or

* C. Brown vs NE -- Burrow out. Not a good matchup for rushing stats at all, but NE does give up receptions to RBs. Would have to be counting on this and maybe 40 yards rushing ish.

Which?

Thanks

It's about risk aversion. I know Brown will get opportunities. I believe Charbonet will get opportunities. Big difference between knowing and believing.

If Charbs is getting touches, good things are happening but,

It's PPR and Ja'Marr is out so

C.Brown>Charbonet

 

[Chaka]

Constantly changing my mind between Jaylen Warren, Sean Tucker and Judkins. .5PPR

Judkins has a great matchup. But the Cleveland O is a dumpster fire, and no involvement in the passing game.

Warren has a nice matchup. But Arthur Smith keeps pulling him in the red zone for Gainwell.

Tucker has a brutal matchup. But it could be a high scoring game with multiple goal line opportunities.

I'd like to go with Warren but I don't trust Arthur Smith. Warren has been very efficient all year but Arthur Smith has a love affair with Gainwell.

Various Steeler beat writers have been clamoring for Warren to be used more since he's been their best offensive player.

I'm a traumatized Raiders fan and Judkins should see 20 touches. If it was full PPR I might feel different.

I like Warren next because he's still a feature part of the Steelers offense and, is very versatile.

In this situation, Tucker feels like chasing points.

Judkins>Warren>Tucker

 

[Chaka]

Goff vs NYG
Purdy vs CAR

Tucker @ LAR
Gainwell @ CHI

Flip a coin, they're very similar options.

I flip-flop between them. I probably land on Goff because I think they're angry but, either is great.

Goff>Purdy
≠=================

If it's PPR probably Gainwell because of pass game work and a better matchup.

But, both kind of feel like chasing last week's results.

Gainwell>Tucker

 

[Chaka]

12-team PPR league, start 2 RB 2 WR 1 flex.

Pick 2

• Doubs vs Minn
• Pearsall vs Car
• Boutte @ Cinci
• Tucker @ LAR

Leaning Doubs and Pearsall, but with low confidence, Love Boutte's matchup but have no idea how they'll use him in his first game back, and a little scared of Tucker facing the Rams D.

14-team non-PPR, need bye week fill-in for Gadsden

• Barner @ Tenn
• Strange @ Ari

Was all set to go with Barner as the best of a bunch of bad options (Mason Taylor, Fant). But Strange just got activated off IR. There's a chance they ease him back in, but given that it's non-PPR, the floor for any TE is basically zero, so might as well go for upside.

That was my feeling as well. Also, Boutte can be completely healthy and still see very low volume in this offense.

Doubs>Pearsall>Boutte>Tucker
===================

No idea. Probably Barner because of the matchup but, no way to really know between them.

Barner>Strange

 

[Chaka]

Ugly-Gross TE start help needed here fellas. Lost Kraft in a deep roster dynasty, not much to choose from.

TEP

I'm patiently waiting, and hoping that Waller comes back and is useful at some point.

FA's available you ask? Sure. But I'd have to make a tough drop, but here they are:

He hasn’t been used the way that he should (imo) this season. Maybe Shedaur Sanders targets the big guy?

Njoku @ LV
Brock Wright v NYG
Darnell Washington @ CHI

Lotta unknowns here. You're probably right but, I also wonder if Washington has earned more looks. Personally, I'm a risk taker

Washington>Njoku

 

[Chaka]

Need one of:

T Henderson @ CIN (Mondre active)
S Tucker @ LAR (Bucky out)
B Tuten @ ARI (ETN active)

Still Henderson because of the matchup. That defense is a must start against option.

Was there a question about ETN's status? Tuten is the one who left the game last week. Tuten hadn't been getting a lot of looks or looking good when he did to this point. Not sure I'm hitching my wagon to that just yet.

At least Tucker put up a monster.

Henderson>Tucker>Tuten

 

[Chaka]

Flacco or Bryce Young? Opponent had Allen who only got him 8 so I’m a decent favorite right now.

I'd be tempted to go with Bryce. New England is a pass funnel but, the Niners have been really bad against the pass.

Risky either way but

Young>Flacco

 

[Chaka]

In PPR, if Jacobs plays, who do I sub in for Wilson?
Knight vs Jax
Charbonnet @ Tenn

Charbs. He just has a much bigger upside in this matchup.

Charbs>Knight

 

[Chaka]

Mayfield vs Rams
Brissett vs Jags

Probably Brissett. He's just been too consistent and has a much better matchup.

Brissett>Baker

 

[Chaka]

Standard League Non PPR:

Flacco vs NE
Trevor Lawrence @ Ariz
Rodgers @ Chi
Winston @ Det

Who knows?

I lean Jameis because of more likely potential for a trail game script and, he just has that ability to put up 400-4 that I don't really see in the others.

Jameis>Lawrence>Flacco>Rodgers

 

[Chaka]

PPR Which Def:

Ravens Vs NYJ
GB vs Min
LV vs Clev

It's a risk but, I might go with the Raiders here and hope Shedeur implodes.

The Pack is the best IRL D of the bunch.

But, I keep thinking that the Ravens at home is the smart play for ceiling/floor.

BAL>LV>GB

 

[Chaka]

PPR Need to start 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex
McCaffrey vs Carolina
Jeanty vs Cleveland
J Warren at Chicago
Gainwell at Chicago
E Wilson vs Minnesota
R Rice vs Indy
Jamo Williams vs New York G
Tetairoa McMillan at San Francisco
AJ Brown at Dallas

Thanks!

I definitely bench CMC & Rashee. Those guys suck.

Tighten up your list Schmeabs.

I take Jamo as your #2 WR. He's on a heater, it's a good matchup and, maybe the Lions have a pride game. He also has that big play ability above anyone else on the list.

I probably roll Warren out at RB2 because he doesn't have a designation and he's the most versatile of your options ATM.

Can't start Wilson or Gainwell at flex IMO. Too much unknown and, I wouldn't start both Steeler RBs because I don't think that pie is big enough.

Jeanty has scored in 5 of 10 games which, is nice and, he should see 20+ opportunities but, that offense has been terrible and the Browns D can still rock.

To me it comes down to Tet and AJ and, they both have great matchups. You'd think AJ would be a smash start here but, man there is something off with him & Hurts. Yet just sees a ton more volume.

Jamo>Warren>Tet>Aj

 

[Skolpnw]

Need one of:

T Henderson @ CIN (Mondre active)
S Tucker @ LAR (Bucky out)
B Tuten @ ARI (ETN active)

Still Henderson because of the matchup. That defense is a must start against option.

Henderson>Tucker>Tuten

Thanks for the reply! Re: ETN, he practiced (limited) all week in a no contact jersey. This led to some speculation that part of the reason Tuten got so many looks before tweaking his ankle was that ETN was nursing an injury. I don't think there's much weight to it, but this is the time of year winning lottery tickets make champions!

 

[Rubi]

PPR Which Def:

Ravens Vs NYJ
GB vs Min
LV vs Clev

I have them all very close but a n ever so slight edge to Green Bay

 

[Rubi]

Standard League Non PPR:

Flacco vs NE
Trevor Lawrence @ Ariz
Rodgers @ Chi
Winston @ Det

In what could be his last start EVER
The other Joe...Flacco

 

[Rubi]

Mayfield vs Rams
Brissett vs Jags

The Baker Man

 

[SoBeDad]

Emanuel Wilson vs MN (assuming Jacobs is active) or
Jaylen Warren @ CHI.

 

[Alex P Keaton]

Flacco vs NE
J Goff vs NYG
J Brissett vs JAX

Need to pick one

 

[IHEARTFF]

Flacco vs NE
J Goff vs NYG
J Brissett vs JAX

Need to pick one

I think Goff, but you should get good results regardless

 

[IHEARTFF]

Emanuel Wilson vs MN (assuming Jacobs is active) or
Jaylen Warren @ CHI.

Warren is safer

 

[Chaka]

Emanuel Wilson vs MN (assuming Jacobs is active) or
Jaylen Warren @ CHI.

Warren easily. He's still the starter and it's a decent matchup.

Warren>Wilson

 

[Chaka]

Flacco vs NE
J Goff vs NYG
J Brissett vs JAX

Need to pick one

Realistically, Goff is the play here. Best team by far, good matchup.

I can see the argument for Brissett because he's been so consistent. There is nothing wrong with starting him.

But my money is on the top 3 scoring offense.

Goff>Brissett>Flacco

 

[FantasyMC]

Bam vs Jax or Singletary vs Det in PPR flex? Thanks.

 

[ss3walkman]

Which RB to start?

Jeanty v Cleveland
Charbonnet v Tennessee
Tucker v LAR

 

[jm192]

Flacco vs NE
J Goff vs NYG
J Brissett vs JAX

Need to pick one

Goff is ranked higiher everywhere. And I *think* I'd lean his way. Especially for the upside.

Giants give up the 2nd most FPPG to QB's. But they ALSO give up the 2nd most FPPG to RB's. So it could easily be a Goff lights it up and ARSB/Jameson have big days. It could also be the Gibbs and Montgomery show.

Brissett is less likely to have a down game. He's been throwing a ton. They're always playing from behind. He's been getting you around 20 points every week. Their running game isn't good. Jax gives up the 5th most FPPG to QB.

So if you need safety/floor, Brissett is probably the play.

 

[jm192]

Which RB to start?

Jeanty v Cleveland
Charbonnet v Tennessee
Tucker v LAR

I trust Jeanty's workload the most. Think he's the best back of the 3 as well.

 

[jm192]

Bam vs Jax or Singletary vs Det in PPR flex? Thanks.

Bam. Detroit toughest defense vs RB's for FPPG

 

[jm192]

Emanuel Wilson vs MN (assuming Jacobs is active) or
Jaylen Warren @ CHI.

Warren

 

[jm192]

PPR Which Def:

Ravens Vs NYJ
GB vs Min
LV vs Clev

Baltimore. Jets are an offensive mess. Baltimore has play makers on defense and have been solid their last 3 weeks.

Oakland has only broken 5 points 4 times all season (depending on settings of course).

Edit: Las Vegas, not Oakland.

 

[The General]

Pick 2 in .5 PPR

Ashton Jeanty vs Browns
Alex Pierce @ Cheifs
DeVonta Smtih @ Cowboys

 

[jm192]

PPR Need to start 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 Flex
McCaffrey vs Carolina
Jeanty vs Cleveland
J Warren at Chicago
Gainwell at Chicago
E Wilson vs Minnesota
R Rice vs Indy
Jamo Williams vs New York G
Tetairoa McMillan at San Francisco
AJ Brown at Dallas

Thanks!

CMC lineup lock.
Jeanty.

Rice.
Tet.

It's about a coin toss between Jamo and AJ Brown for the flex play. Both great matchups. Brown has just weirdly struggled all season and Jamo has been smashing the last 3 weeks. I think I lean Jamo, but someone could easily talk me into Brown.

 

[Ministry of Pain]

Pick 2 in .5 PPR

Ashton Jeanty vs Browns
Alex Pierce @ Cheifs
DeVonta Smtih @ Cowboys

Slim vs them Boys is a must start IMO of these choices

Don't love Pierce vs the Chiefs today, as long as Jeanty is healthy i would start him vs the browns and here is why...Raiders defense is picked to do well this week vs rookie QBs
Might be some short fields and scoring opp for Jeanty and the Raiders today, i would lean that way

 

[jm192]

Pick 2 in .5 PPR

Ashton Jeanty vs Browns
Alex Pierce @ Cheifs
DeVonta Smtih @ Cowboys

Jeanty and Smith.

Jeanty tough defensive matchup, but Cleveland already couldn't score. Expect it to be a game where both teams try to run the ball a lot.

Smith: Philly has a much more WR friendly matchup.

 

[kyoun1e]

PPR league. I need a serious moonshot dart throw here:

* G. Dortch vs JAX -- Good matchup. Went 6/61/1 last week. M. Wilson was last week's darling. Could it be Dortch this week? JAX a great matchup for AZ passing game.

* B. Corum vs TB -- Pretty close split with Kyren. Not a great matchup, but Corum keeps getting opportunities on the goal line...been a bit unlucky.

* K. Monangai vs PIT -- Splitting with Swift. Could get a TD plunge.

* X. Leggette / J. Coker @SF -- Good matchup. Besides TMac, I wouldn't be surprised if one of these guys goes off with this matchup.

* J. Metchie @BALT -- Somebody on the Jets has to catch the ball right? Right??

I need upside. Serious underdog.

Which?

Thanks!

 

[jm192]

Mayfield vs Rams
Brissett vs Jags

Brissett.

 

[SoBeDad]

Emanuel Wilson vs MN (assuming Jacobs is active) or
Jaylen Warren @ CHI.

Warren easily. He's still the starter and it's a decent matchup.

Warren>Wilson

Assuming Jacobs is inactive, does that change your choice? Warren is splitting with Gainwell, who also has more TDs.
