It is by no means too early to look towards your subsequent matchup and an opportunity to bolster your fantasy soccer lineups. Listed here are some choices to think about for Week 12, when a whopping six groups shall be on bye: the Falcons, Payments, Bengals, Jaguars, Saints and Jets.
Anthony Richardson, QB, Indianapolis Colts (47% rostered)
Full disclosure: I needed to do a double-take once I noticed that AR5 was rostered in simply 47% of leagues. And certain, in fantasy managers’ protection, the Colts did make it appear to be Joe Flacco could be the starter for the remainder of the season.
I might be shocked if Flacco sees one other snap for Indy, after the outcomes of this sport.
Richardson was wonderful towards the Jets in Week 11, exhibiting off the dual-threat expertise that made him such an thrilling fantasy choose heading into the season. And certain, he misplaced a fumble, however in any other case, Richardson was fairly strong all day — his completion proportion was larger than 50, too!
Take into account this your final name for Anthony Richardson this season. If you happen to want QB assist with so many groups off in Week 12, go test if he is accessible:
Cam Akers, RB, Minnesota Vikings (17%)
For the second week in a row, Cam Akers was concerned within the Vikings’ sport plan out of the backfield. This time, nonetheless, Akers delivered his second-highest-scoring fantasy sport of the season.
Akers nonetheless performed behind Aaron Jones, however Akers had the one Vikings’ RB landing on the day, a three-yard landing catch.
That is the time of yr when fantasy managers trying towards the playoffs want to gather lottery-ticket gamers to stash on their bench. We all know now that if one thing had been to occur to Jones, Akers could be the subsequent man as much as lead the Vikings backfield. He shouldn’t be accessible in so many leagues.
Elijah Moore, WR, Cleveland Browns (8%)
Positive, the Browns fell to the Saints, 35-14, because the staff had no reply for the Taysom Hill machine. However at the very least Jameis Winston as soon as once more proved he might maintain the fantasy prospects of those Browns’ receivers aloft. Whereas Cedric Tillman was a little bit of a disappointment catching three balls for 47 yards on eight targets in a plus matchup, Jerry Jeudy had a monster day (11-6-142-1), and fellow receiver Elijah Moore additionally delivered.
Moore’s day was highlighted by a 30-yard landing catch within the third quarter that tied the sport. He is in all probability nonetheless third, at greatest, within the receiving hierarchy for the Browns, however with Nick Chubb nonetheless not trying like himself, the Browns will proceed to throw the soccer. Up subsequent for the Browns is a string of inauspicious matchups towards stout secondaries, so Moore getting some elevated seems to be by advantage of defensive consideration being put elsewhere isn’t outdoors the realm of chance. He is on the flex radar.
