Def vs WR Matchups Report
This Fantasy Football tool shows you how well (or how poorly) each pass defense is performing against each position this NFL season.
RECEIVING YARDS ALLOWED BY POSITION
This new featured tool displays how each defense performs against their opponent’s receiving yardage gained by position.
So for example, if you see a team is ranked 1st vs. WR #1, that defense is currently the best at limiting their opponent’s WR #1 yardage compared to other teams. Or if you see a team is ranked 32nd against WR #2, that defense is the worst against WR #2’s or more accurately, the defense is allowing the most yards to WR #2’s compared to the other teams in the league. This a great tool to find and exploit useful matchups. Don’t forget to check out all the positions as well (WR #1, WR #2, Other WRs, TE & RB).
It’s playoff time. You can’t afford to make a single mistake with your lineup!

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 14
The 2022 fantasy football regular season is close to the end with the playoffs looming. The must-win games are here. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 14 picks help you identify values to target and fades to avoid. It is also crucial to know which waiver wire pick to make and to stay up-to-date on the injury report. Here are our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 14 picks. Editor’s note: This article is written by Bradley Stalder. QUARTERBACKS Start ‘Em Jared Goff (Detroit Lions) – Streaming your QBs against the Vikings is an underrated take. The Vikings allow the most receiving yards to WRs on the season, and Mike White finished as the QB7 last week. That was without a passing TD along with 2 interceptions. Surprisingly, the 5-7 Lions are favored against the 10-2 Vikings in Detroit this weekend. Goff is also coming off a QB4 finish where he threw for 340 yards and 2 TDs to Amon-Ra St. Brown. Derek Carr (Las Vegas Raiders)- If you’ve got Carr, he’s a must-start Thursday night against the Rams who might be playing Baker Mayfield. Carr has finished as QB13 or better in four of his last five games. In each of those five games, Carr has thrown for at least 248 yards and 2 TDs. The Rams may be without Aaron Donald, and the Raiders are projected to have a 41% Pass Block advantage, per PFF. This game could get out of control and with the Raiders desperate for an emphatic win, Carr is poised to smash. Sit ‘Em Daniel Jones (New York Giants) – We’ve seen some scary floors for Daniel Jones this season: four weekly finishes of QB20 or worse aren’t encouraging. Outside of the Detroit Lions game, Jones hasn’t thrown for more than 228 passing yards in any game this year and hasn’t cracked more than 200 pass yards in eight of twelve games. The Eagles allow the fewest fantasy points to QBs on the season and whose defensive line is projected to have a 25% Pass Block advantage, per PFF, over the Giants offensive line. Tom Brady (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) – Brady didn’t pass the eye test for the majority of the night against the Saints on Monday Night. It took him 54 pass attempts to get to the QB8 finish overall and still didn’t get 300 yards passing. Brady’s finished as a top-10 weekly QB only three times in 12 games, and the matchup against the 49ers isn’t promising. The 49ers give up the 5th fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks and whose defensive line is projected to have a 25% Pass Block advantage over the Buc’s OL. In what projects to be the lowest game total O/U on the week, Brady’s ceiling is severely limited. RUNNING BACKS Start ‘Em Ezekiel Elliott (Dallas Cowboys) – It’s not just that Ezekiel Elliott and the Cowboys get the Houston Texans this week. Though, that is a major factor. It’s that Zeke has finished as the RB13 or better in six of the last eight games. The Cowboys are 17-point favorites at home against a Houston club that just allowed 3 DS/T TDs to the Cleveland Browns. It’ll be a blood bath and Zeke will get 15 carries along with goal-line work in this matchup. Latavius Murray (Denver Broncos) – On a week with bad matchups and six teams on a bye week, Murray should project as a comfortable volume-based RB2. He’s handled 47 carries over the last three weeks, finishing on average as the RB24 during that span. The Broncos may be 9.5 underdogs at home this week, but the Chiefs allow the most receptions per game to the RB position and Murray has four receptions in two of the last three weeks. He may not win the week, but he won’t lose the week either. Sit ‘Em Jamaal Williams (Detroit Lions) – Williams has made his living off of TDs this season. But the rushing inefficiency has come against even the most generous rush defenses. Williams has averaged fewer than 4.0 yards per carry every game since Week 9. And in Week 14, he faces the Minnesota Vikings who give up 3.89 yards per carry to opposing running backs. Williams played the fewest snaps of the season in Week 13 and has decreased his snap share each of the last 3 weeks as D’Andre Swift has ascended. Play Williams at your own risk. Dameon Pierce (Houston Texans) – We’ve seen Pierce game-scripted out of games before, and this matchup against Dallas doesn’t look good for the rookie. In a two-game stretch before his Week 13 matchup against the porous Browns defense, Pierce combined for 16 rush yards on 15 carries and zero TDs. In those contests, Pierce averaged out as the RB50. Fifty. The Cowboys are 17-point favorites at home, and while Pierce may get some sprinkling in the passing game, his floor is far too risky to play him. WIDE RECEIVERS Start ‘Em Zay Jones (Jacksonville Jaguars) – Call it unlucky, but the sure-handed Jones only caught 2-of-7 targets in the game against Detroit. But, he gets another shot at it and fantasy managers shouldn’t be left on tilt. The Titans give up the most TDs to opposing WRs and allow the most points to opposing wide receivers. Especially with how stifling the Tennessee run defense has been as of late, passes may be funneled Jones’ way. D.J. Chark (Detroit Lions) – Chark has made his way back from an injury that cost him six games. Over his last two contests, Chark has either a TD or 98 yards receiving. In a game against the ever-porous Minnesota secondary that could turn into a divisional shootout in Detroit’s Ford Field, Chark is an interesting play. I’m not concerned about Jameson Williams just yet. Williams will have to take all of Kalif Raymond & Josh Reynolds’ snaps before we worry about his impact on Chark. Rondale Moore (Arizona Cardinals) – Moore may have left
Fantasy Football Injury Rundown
For many people, the fantasy football playoffs have arrived. That makes every game from here on out a must-win affair. The FullTime Fantasy Football Injury Rundown will catch you up on all the fantasy-relevant injury news you’ll need. Also, be sure to join us in the FullTime Fantasy Discord Channel for injury updates throughout the week. And, check the Week 14 waiver wire and FAAB suggestions for help. Now, let’s check out the Week 14 fantasy football injury rundown. Kenneth Walker (RB) Seattle Seahawks – The initial fear for Walker was a sprained ankle. However, Pete Carroll ruled that out. Instead, Carroll suggested Walker jammed his ankle. As of now, it is impossible to get a read on the situation. But, the good news is it seems like Walker could play in Week 14 or Week 15, at worst. We’ll keep an eye on the practice reports all week. Lamar Jackson (QB) Baltimore Ravens – Jackson is listed as “week-to-week” with a knee injury. A PCL injury, which looks like a possibility, would be a minimum of a 2-game absence. We’ll have to monitor the progress throughout the week. But for now, it seems safe that Tyler Huntley will be under center on Sunday. Update: Jackson did suffer a sprained PCL and has a 1-3 week recovery timeline. Jimmy Garoppolo (QB) San Francisco 49ers – San Francisco lost another starting quarterback for the season after Jimmy Garoppolo’s left foot was stepped on and broken. The Niners will now be down to Brock Purdy, who was the final selection of the 2022 NFL Draft. Tua Tagovailoa (QB) Miami Dolphins – Tagovailoa sprained his ankle in Week 14 but was able to play through the injury. This suggests Tagovailoa should be fine for Week 14. Joe Mixon (RB) Cincinnati Bengals – A concussion caused Mixon to miss Week 13 but he reportedly was processing well through the league’s protocol. It would be a big surprise if Mixon is unable to suit up against Cleveland’s atrocious run defense. Courtland Sutton (WR) Denver Broncos – Sutton is listed as day-to-day with a hamstring injury. However, Denver media seems to think the injury is more severe than first indicated. Plus, with the Broncos faltering and out of playoff contention, there is little reason to rush Sutton back. Treylon Burks (WR) Tennessee Titans – Another victim of a concussion, Burks was injured on his TD grab and unable to return. The first-rounder will have all week to progress through the NFL’s protocol. If he does, Burks has an intriguing matchup with Jacksonville on Sunday. Brandin Cooks (WR) Houston Texans – A calf injury kept Cooks sidelined last week. It is unknown has severe the injury is or if Cooks is simply biding his time until he can move on. However, his absence worked out well for Nico Collins per FullTime Fantasy’s Advanced Snap Report from Week 13. Hayden Hurst (TE) Cincinnati Bengals – Zac Taylor already said Hurst (calf) was doubtful for Week 14. Fantasy managers should be prepared to explore options on the Week 14 waiver wire for an already estimated tight end position. Juwan Johnson (TE) New Orleans Saints – Johnson sat out Monday night’s loss with an ankle ailment. The fourth-year pro wasn’t particularly close to playing. The Saints have a bye this week, so Johnson will get a full two weeks off to heal up for the fantasy playoffs. ENTER OUR WEEK 14 DRAFT CONTEST!

Fantasy Football Recap Week 13
The opening slate of Week 13 was a lot of fun. From a fantasy perspective, it felt like a return to normalcy. The football games were generally good, too. The FullTime Fantasy Football Recap Week 13 looks back at the games to see what they mean moving forward. Hard to believe that the fantasy playoffs are here for many leagues. Our Fantasy Football Recap Week 13 should be able to provide some interesting nuggets to help you advance. QB1 Hurts How about that Jalen Hurts guy? The superstar Philadelphia quarterback produced 392 yards of offense and four more touchdowns en route to QB1 honors for the week. If you took just Hurts’ rushing numbers he would be a top-30 fantasy back. There were some questions about Hurts this summer. I certainly am guilty of questioning his long-term viability. But the former Alabama signal-caller has silenced those critics. But Jalen Hurts wasn’t the only hurts that came out of the quarterback position today. Unfortunately, QB injuries put the hurtin’ on many fantasy lineups in Week 13. Lamar Jackson suffered an early knee injury and was unable to return. After the game, John Harbaugh said Jackson could miss some time but the injury is not season-ending. At least we were the lowest in the entire industry on Jackson versus Denver this week. Later, Jimmy Garoppolo hurt his foot and was carted to the locker room in the first quarter. For a team with a legitimate shot at the Super Bowl, the 49ers have had some bad luck with quarterback injuries. That got me looking at the overall status of the quarterback position heading into the fantasy lineups. By my count, nine of the 28 teams playing this week have different starters playing right now than they opened the season with. As they say, the 18-week regular season is a war of attrition. Especially if you just happen to be taking snaps under center. Backfield Breakdown With so few teams employing a workhorse running back, it is essential for us to track how coaches divide their backfield touches. Here are the fantasy opportunities from some of Sunday’s backfields. Opportunities means carries plus targets. Atlanta – Tyler Allgeier 28 snaps, 10 opp.; Cordarrelle Patterson 25 snaps, 11 opp.; Caleb Huntley 5 snaps, 4 opp. Baltimore – Kenyan Drake 34 snaps, 10 opp.; Gus Edwards 17 snaps, 6 opp.; Justice Hill 17 snaps, 3 opp. Chicago – David Montgomery 40 snaps, 19 opp.; Darrynton Evans 13 snaps, 1 opp.; Trestan Ebner 1 snap, 0 opp. Cleveland – Nick Chubb 32 snaps, 18 opp.; Kareem Hunt 24 snaps, 11 opp.; Jerome Ford 7 snaps, 3 opp. Denver – Latavius Murray 36 snaps, 21 opp.; Mike Boone 12 snaps, 7 opp. Detroit – D’Andre Swift 39 snaps, 19 opp.; Jamaal Williams 23 snaps, 11 opp.; Justin Jackson 16 snaps, 6 opp. Green Bay – A.J. Dillon 45 snaps, 20 opp.; Aaron Jones 25 snaps, 14 opp.; Patrick Taylor 6 snaps, 1 opp. New York Jets – Zonovan Knight 47 snaps, 20 opp.; Ty Johnson 28 snaps, 8 opp.; James Robinson 9 snaps, 4 opp. Philadelphia – Miles Sanders 39 snaps, 12 opp.; Kenneth Gainwell 20 snaps, 6 opp.; Boston Scott 17 snaps, 7 opp. Washington – Brian Robinson 40 snaps, 23 opp.; Antonio Gibson 42 snaps, 19 opp.; Jonathan Williams 2 snaps, 1 opp. Week 14 Preview Week 14 byes: Atlanta, Chicago, Green Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Washington Lines courtesy Draftkings Las Vegas at Los Angeles Rams (+5) New York Jets at Buffalo (-9.5) Cleveland at Cincinnati (-4) Houston at Dallas (NL) Minnesota at Detroit (+2.5) Philadelphia at New York Giants (+6.5) Baltimore at Pittsburgh (NL Lamar Jackson) Jacksonville at Tennessee (-3.5) Kansas City at Denver (+8) Carolina at Seattle (-6) Tampa Bay at San Francisco (NL) Miami at Los Angeles Chargers (NL) New England at Arizona (+1.5) The 2022 NFL season is well underway but it’s not too late to get access to the best help out there!

Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 13
The 2022 fantasy football regular season is close to the end with the playoffs looming. The must-win games are here. Our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 13 picks help you identify values to target and fades to avoid. It is also crucial to know which waiver wire pick to make and to stay up-to-date on the injury report. Here are our Fantasy Football Start ‘Em Sit ‘Em Week 13 picks. Editor’s note: This article is the FullTime Fantasy debut for Bradley Stalder. QUARTERBACKS Start ‘Em Trevor Lawrence (Jacksonville Jaguars) Coming off a top-5 QB finish, Lawrence squares off against the Detroit Lions at Ford Field Week 13. The game total is projected over 50 points– indicating shootout potential. The Lions give up the most fantasy points to quarterbacks on the season. The difference in points between what the Lions have allowed (23.9) and the 2nd most points allowed team, the Miami Dolphins, is also the same difference between the Dolphins and the 15th most points allowed team, the Washington Commanders. Mike White (New York Jets) Speaking of a plus matchup in a dome, White squares off against the Minnesota Vikings in Minneapolis. The Vikings allow the most passing yards to quarterbacks on the season despite allowing the 7th most pass attempts. White finished as the QB6 overall in Week 12 with 3 TDs and 0 INTs against an ailing Chicago defense in the rain. Even in his small samples, White has shown off a fantasy ceiling. Sit ‘Em Deshaun Watson (Cleveland Browns) Watson last played in an NFL game on January 3rd, 2021. That’s 700 days in-between game action. While he may be facing off against his former team, the Houston Texans, this is not the easiest matchup in Houston. The Texans allow the 4th fewest fantasy points to QBs on the season, mostly because game scripts get out of hand and opposing running backs dominate. Matt Ryan (Indianapolis Colts) While Ryan may have two top-5 finishes over his last five games, he’s also finished as QB20 or worse in the other three matchups. The matchup against Dallas in Arlington doesn’t get any easier. The Dallas defensive line has a projected 25% advantage over Indianapolis’ offensive line per PFF. The Cowboys also convert sacks at the 6th highest rate and force the 3rd most fumbles among team defenses, which is not a good formula for the pocket-passing QB. RUNNING BACKS Start ‘Em Cordarrelle Patterson (Atlanta Falcons) Patterson has admittedly been hard to pin down. He’s finished as a top-18 RB twice since returning from injury but also finished outside RB30 twice. Both of those ceiling games came at home. In fact, Patterson has averaged 15 fantasy points per game at home this year. The Atlanta OL projects a 28% run-blocking advantage over Pittsburgh, per PFF. Patterson is a start this week safely within the confines of a dome. Travis Etienne (Jacksonville Jaguars) Etienne may have left the matchup against the Ravens due to a foot injury, but was cleared to return. Weather played a factor in this game as it was delayed nearly a half hour. But fear no more, Etienne plays in Detroit against the Lions, who are one of four teams to give up over 100 rushing yards and at least one rushing TD per game to running backs. Etienne’s had a streak of 5 straight games with 100+ total yards and this Week 13 matchup should prove to be another week of fantasy goodness. Sit ‘Em Michael Carter / Zonovan Knight (New York Jets) Michael Carter is still day-to-day with an ankle injury. Even if he plays, he’s a risk for re-injury. That would leave Bam Knight as the primary running back for the Jets. Knight played admirably in relief in Week 12 but this is a tough matchup against the Vikings. Minnesota is projected to have a 48% defensive line run-blocking advantage over the Jets. The Vikings also give up less than 80 rushing yards to opposing running backs on the season on only 3.78 yards per carry, so there may not be a lot of room to run regardless of who leads the Jets backfield in touches. Alvin Kamara (New Orleans Saints) Fantasy managers can find better streaming options than firing up Kamara this week. He’s not been an RB1 this season and has finished RB10 or better on a week only three times in 10 games. In fact, in three of Kamara’s last four games, he’s finished as RB23 or worse. Also, Kamara logged fewer than 10 carries in those three games. Tampa Bay gives up the fewest targets, fewest receiving yards, and 3rd fewest fantasy points to running backs on the season. Tampa’s defensive line is projected to have a 32% run block advantage over New Orleans per PFF, which sets up for a Kamara bust game. WIDE RECEIVERS Start ‘Em George Pickens (Pittsburgh Steelers) Pickens pops off the game film as a game-breaker and gotta-get-it WR. After he was eased into the starting lineup for the first two weeks, Pickens has finished as a top-24 WR five times. He gets the Atlanta Falcons this week which gives up the fifth most fantasy points to WRs. With Diontae Johnson projected to line up the majority of snaps against shut-down corner A.J., Terrell, Pickens should find room for Kenny Pickett. Joshua Palmer (LA Chargers) Keenan Allen may have returned, but Josh Palmer is still putting up notable usage in the absence of Mike Williams. Palmer’s last two contests’ average with Allen in the lineup: 6.5 receptions, 7.5 targets, 81 receiving yards, and a TD. Williams is a projected game-time decision, but if he’s out Josh Palmer projects to play outside more with DeAndre Carter manning the slot. The game total is projected over 50, and Vegas is not a tough matchup. Randall Cobb (Green Bay Packers) In his last three healthy games, Cobb has either 73+ receiving yards or a TD. With Rodgers dealing with multiple injuries but expected to go
Fantasy Football Injury Rundown
As far as we know, no NFL players were injured enjoying Thanksgiving dinner. Unfortunately, some got hurt on the field and will have a fantasy impact. The FullTime Fantasy Football Injury Rundown will catch you up on all the fantasy-relevant injury news you’ll need. Also, be sure to join us in the FullTime Fantasy Discord Channel for injury updates throughout the week. And, check the Week 13 waiver wire and FAAB suggestions for help. Ja’Marr Chase (WR) Cincinnati Bengals – Last week we learned that Week 13 was the expected return date for Chase. We’ll keep an eye on practice reports. However, if Chase returns, he’ll be a top-5 option playing against a Kansas City secondary that yields the seventh-most fantasy points to wideouts. Aaron Rodgers (QB) Green Bay Packers – Rodgers indicated he will play this week after getting positive news about his rib injury. As long as there are no setbacks, Rodgers will be on the QB1 cusp facing a Chicago defense that has crumbled. Josh Jacobs (RB) Las Vegas Raiders – Reports indicate that Jacobs is unlikely to practice at all this week. That makes Jacobs a rather risky proposition in Week 13 versus Seattle. However, the same calf injury cause Jacobs to be listed as questionable last week, and he touched the ball 39 times and produces 303 yards. Najee Harris (RB) Pittsburgh Steelers – Harris was forced from Monday night’s victory with an abdominal ailment. As of now, little is known about the severity or details of this injury. But, it’s certainly something that fantasy managers should be concerned about. Najee Harris OUT with an “abdomen” injury *Since 2019 average missed time for skill players with “abdomen” 1-2 games A “core” or “groin” injury could fall under that umbrella *Average missed time is 1-3 games *Median is 18 days#SteelersNation pic.twitter.com/nVxyxiStD8 — Edwin Porras, DPT (@FBInjuryDoc) November 29, 2022 Travis Etienne (RB) Jacksonville Jaguars – Fantasy managers were forced to watch JaMycal Hasty rack up 95 yards and a score after Etienne exited Week 12’s win with a foot injury. What makes it more frustrating is that allegedly Etienne was cleared to return but Doug Pederson chose to hold his star RB out. However, if Etienne is healthy, he’s back in RB1 territory this week. Justin Fields (QB) Chicago Bears – Fields was inactive last week, as expected. With Chicago’s season pretty much over and the risk of re-injury pretty severe, it makes little sense for the Bears to risk further injury to their franchise signal caller. Damien Harris (RB) New England Patriots – Harris (thigh) is expected to miss Week 13. New England hosts Buffalo on Thursday Night Football. The absence of Harris assures Rhamondre Stevenson will be a top-10 option this week. Darnell Mooney (WR) Chicago Bears – An ankle injury will sideline Mooney for the rest of the 2022 season. Redraft fantasy managers can safely cut Mooney. However, dynasty managers can be encouraged by the last month of results. J.K. Dobbins (RB) Baltimore Ravens – The Ravens designated Dobbins to return from I.R. This opens up a three-week window for Dobbins to return to action. However, it seems likely that Dobbins could play as early as this week. This further complicates a Baltimore offense that has been tough to handicap in 2022. Michael Carter (RB) New York Jets – A low-ankle sprain forced Carter to miss most of Week 12. Carter is listed as questionable ahead of Week 13. However, we consider Carter far more likely to miss at least one game than be rushed back early. Zonovan Knight, James Robinson, and Ty Johnson are more than capable of filling in. Kadarius Toney (WR) Kansas City Chiefs – Toney is listed as day-to-day with a hamstring injury. The sophomore wideout missed last week with the injury but is tentatively expected to return to practice in a limited capacity this week. Allen Robinson (WR) Los Angeles Rams – The foot injury that forced A-Rob to miss Week 12 turned out to be a season-ender. Surgery will be required and Robinson will go down as a huge bust in a lost 2022 campaign. Elijah Mitchell (RB) San Francisco 49ers – Mitchel again sprained his MCL and is expected to miss the remainder of the fantasy season. Jordan Mason is the next man up for the Niners as Christian McCaffrey‘s understudy. Daniel Bellinger (TE) New York Giants – After missing four games with a nasty eye injury, Bellinger could return this week. Rex Burkhead (RB) Houston Texans – Burkhead is in the league’s concussion protocol. With only seven touches in Houston’s past five contests, Burkhead has no fantasy value.

Fantasy Football Recap Week 12
Week 12 is always one of my favorite weeks. By the time Sunday rolled around I was still working on Thanksgiving leftovers. Unfortunately, as you’ll read in the FullTime Fantasy Football Recap Week 12, reheated turkey and stuffing was the only highlight of the early afternoon. Let’s take a look back at what should have been a banner Sunday for more than just my first-ever butter-baked turkey. Which was elite, by the way. Finally a 10 week There were seven games in the early kick window. And, as appealing as some of those matchups were, the scoring certainly didn’t live up to the bill. Maybe all the boys were still feeling the effects of the tryptophan. Heading into the third quarter, only two of the 14 teams active have more than one touchdown. Eight teams had exactly 10 as their score. Now, normally a 10 is a good thing. However, for NFL and fantasy football purposes, it is not. And there were some solid matchups, too. But, it’s usually difficult for teams to overcome poor quarterback play. And that’s precisely what the early slate on Sunday served up. If we’re being fair, I’d rate that turkey I served up Thursday considerably higher than the Week 12 action. Unfortunately, it is all gone now. Just like my chances of winning several of my fantasy matchups after the sluggish start to what should have been a banner week. In an effort to wrap things up positively, the scoring and excitement picked up substantially in the afternoon slate. Which is about as much as we could ask for. Backfield Breakdown With so few teams employing a workhorse running back, it is essential for us to track how coaches divide their backfield touches. Here are the fantasy opportunities from some of Sunday’s backfields. Opportunities means carries plus targets. Atlanta – Cordarrelle Patterson 33 snaps, 16 opp.; Tyler Allgeier 22 snaps, 11 opp.; Avery Williams 7 snaps, 0 opp.; Caleb Huntley 3 snaps, 2 opp. Baltimore – Gus Edwards 36 snaps, 17 opp.; Kenyan Drake 18 snaps, 3 opp.; Justice Hill 14 snaps, 1 opp. Carolina – D’Onta Foreman 36 snaps 24 opp.; Chuba Hubbard 27 snaps, 17 opp. Chicago – David Montgomery 39 snaps, 19 opp; Darrynton Evans 18 snaps, 10 opp.; Trestan Ebner 1 snap, 0 opp. New York Jets – Zonovan Knight 30 snaps, 17 opp.; Michael Carter 19 snaps, 9 opp.; Ty Johnson 15 snaps, 5 opp. Tampa Bay – Rachaad White 62 snaps(!), 23 opp.; Ke’Shawn Vaughn 9 snaps, 4 opp. Washington – Brian Robinson 30 snaps, 21 opp.; Antonio Gibson 26 snaps, 12 opp.; Jonathan Williams 5 snaps, 4 opp. Week 13 Preview Week 13 byes: Arizona, Carolina Lines courtesy Draftkings Buffalo at New England (+5.5) Pittsburgh at Atlanta (-1.5) Denver at Baltimore (-7.5) Green Bay at Chicago (NL) Justin Fields Jacksonville at Detroit (-1) Cleveland at Houston (+7) New York Jets at Minnesota (-3) Washington at New York Giants (+1.5) Tennessee at Philadelphia (-6.5) Seattle at Los Angeles Rams (+4.5) Miami at San Francisco (-4) Kansas City at Cincinnati (+3) Los Angeles Chargers at Las Vegas (+2.5) Indianapolis at Dallas (-9) New Orleans at Tampa Bay (-5.5) The 2022 NFL season is well underway but it’s not too late to get access to the best help out there!

And don’t miss out on the FullTime Fantasy Cyber Monday deal. You’ll get immediate access to all kinds of fantasy goodness. Plus, exclusive AWARD-WINNING RAKINGS from yours truly and my podcast co-host, Jody Smith. QUARTERBACKS Start ‘Em Taylor Heinicke– Washington Commanders – The last two weeks were ugly for Heinicke, but he played against Philly & Houston, who are both top 3 vs. the QB position. Before that, he had 3 top 15 finishes against GB, Indy & Minn. This week, he gets ATL, the 9th worst vs. QB, allowing 18.86 fantasy pts per game to opposing QBs. Matt Ryan – Indianapolis Colts – Matt Ryan has been Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in 2022. He has two top 5 finishes this season, two bottom-five finishes, and everything in between. His impressive starts have been at home and/or vs. soft defenses. The good news is that he gets both of those in week 12 as he faces off against the Steelers at home. The Steelers are giving up 19.65 fantasy points per game to opposing QBs on the season, the 4th most in the league. So if you are looking for a streaming option in week 12, look no further than Matt Ryan. Sit ‘Em Aaron Rodgers – Green Bay Packers- Despite a lackluster 2023, Rodgers is still QB 11 for the year. He’s QB6 in passing yards, QB4 in passing TDs with 19, and QB5 in pass attempts. However, in week 12, he faces off against the Philadelphia Eagles, who are the #1 ranked defense vs. the quarterback position on the year, only allowing 9.34 fantasy points per game to the position. I expect Rodgers to score more than 9.34; I do not have him in my top 15 this week. I’d look elsewhere for a starting QB this week. Jacoby Brissett – Cleveland Browns – Jacoby Brissett is the QB13 since week 9. He has finished QB10, QB18, and QB4 during that span. However, in Week 12 he faces off against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are the 13th-best defense vs. opposing quarterbacks on the year, allowing 15.72 fantasy points per game. Expect them to pressure Brissett struggles mightily vs pressure. Brissett has a 34.6% completion percentage under pressure which is QB28, he has a 5.3 accuracy rating under pressure which is QB30 and he is QB19 in pressured catchable balls. RUNNING BACKS Start ‘Em Kyren Williams – Los Angeles Rams – The Rams cut ties with Darrell Henderson this week, paving the way for Cam Akers and Kyren Williams to be the one-two punch in LA. Kyren is the preferred passing down back. He saw 7.4% of targets out of the backfield in Week 11 vs. Akers’s 2.7% and 8.1% in week ten vs. Akers’ 0%. Kyren has also out-snapped Akers 51-35 over the last two weeks. In a game where inexperienced Bryce Perkins is at the helm, without Cooper Kupp, with a questionable Higbee and questionable Robinson, we can expect more passing work for the running backs and for them to lean on the position to move the ball. Rachaad White – Tampa Bay Buccaneers – White saw his first 100-yard game last week when he carried the ball 22 times for 105 yards in the win over the Seattle Seahawks after Leonard Fournette sustained a hip injury. . Weeks 1-3 Fournette averaged 84% of snaps while White averaged 16.6%. In Weeks 4-6, Fournette snaps dropped to 61% while White saw 33.16%. That trend continued in weeks 7-10. Fournette saw 56% snaps and White saw 43.05%. Fournette is now listed as doubtful for Week 12. White now gets the backfield to himself in a plus matchup vs. a bottom-5 run defense that gives up 29.92 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs, 2nd most in the league and only behind the Houston Texans. Sit ‘Em D’Onta Foreman – Carolina Panthers- Last week foreman saw his lowest-snap count of the year since taking over the starting role in week seven after the CMC trade. Since week 7, he has averaged 51.7% snaps. In week 11, he only saw 38.6%. Chuba Hubbard seemed healthy, seeing 40.4%, and Blackshear saw 19.3%. It’s clear that Blackshear and Hubbard are the favorites for passing downs; combined, they saw 19.4% target share in week 11, while foreman saw 3.7%. Foreman is an RB 3 and game script dependent. Samaje Perine – Cincinnati Bengals– In Mixon’s absence, Samaje Perine had a big day with three receiving touchdowns. However, this is a tough matchup for Cincy’s backs as they face the Tennessee Titans, who have been good at restricting RBs this season. The Titans are the 3rd ranked run defense and number two EPA run defense. With no teams on a bye in week 12, you most likely have better options at RB and the flex. WIDE RECEIVERS Start ‘Em Joshua Palmer – Los Angeles Chargers – Josh Palmer saw 92.3% snaps last week after Mike Williams reaggravated his ankle injury. He has averaged ten targets a week since week 6. He has two 100-yard games and a pair of scores in that span. This week he should draw coverage from Marco Wilson, the 43rd-ranked CB, in a shootout match that has the 2nd highest over-under of the week with 47.5 points. Parris Campbell – Indianapolis Colts – Campbell has been sneak good lately. He is the WR20 over the last three weeks with 14 catches on 20 targets, totaling 158 yards and one score. This week he squares off vs. the Pittsburgh Steelers, who are giving up 42.68 fantasy points to the WR position per week, which ranks last in the NFL. The Steelers have
