QB: Who to Start and Who to Bench
Start 'Em: Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs
We can't start this conversation without mentioning the reigning MVP, can we? Patrick Mahomes is on fire, and he's facing the Oakland Raiders this week. With the Chiefs' high-powered offense and the Raiders' porous defense, Mahomes is a no-brainer start. He's thrown for 29 TDs this season and has been a top-3 fantasy QB all year. So, go ahead, plug him in, and watch the points roll in.
Sit 'Em: Philip Rivers, Los Angeles Chargers
Philip Rivers has had an up-and-down season, to say the least. He's facing the Kansas City Chiefs this week, who have one of the best defenses in the league. Rivers has struggled against good defenses this year, and with the Chargers' running game banged up, Rivers might be in for a long day. It's time to look for a better option on your bench, guys.
RB: Your Week 12 Starts and Sits
Start 'Em: Dalvin Cook, Minnesota Vikings
Dalvin Cook has been on a tear lately, and he's facing the Denver Broncos this week. The Broncos have struggled against the run all season, and with Cook's recent form, he's a must-start. He's totaled over 150 yards from scrimmage in each of his last three games and has scored six TDs in that span. Keep the Cook train rolling, folks!
Sit 'Em: Devonta Freeman, Atlanta Falcons
Devonta Freeman has been a major disappointment this season, and things don't get any easier in Week 12. He's facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who have a top-5 run defense. Freeman has only topped 50 rushing yards once in his last five games and has scored just one TD in that span. It's time to bench Freeman and look for a better option on your bench.
WR: Your Week 12 Wideouts
Start 'Em: Michael Thomas, New Orleans Saints
Michael Thomas has been a WR1 all season, and he's facing the Carolina Panthers this week. The Panthers have struggled against the pass all year, and with Drew Brees back under center, Thomas is a must-start. He's topped 100 receiving yards in four of his last five games and has scored five TDs in that span. Keep Thomas in your lineup, guys!
Sit 'Em: Amari Cooper, Dallas Cowboys
Amari Cooper has been a revelation since joining the Dallas Cowboys, but things might not be so smooth in Week 12. He's facing the New England Patriots, who have one of the best secondaries in the league. Cooper has scored just one TD in his last four games and has topped 100 receiving yards just once in that span. It's time to look for a better option on your bench, folks.
TE: Tight End Targets for Week 12
Start 'Em: Travis Kelce, Kansas City Chiefs
Travis Kelce has been one of the most consistent TEs all season, and he's facing the Oakland Raiders this week. The Raiders have struggled against TEs all year, and with Patrick Mahomes slinging the ball around, Kelce is a must-start. He's topped 100 receiving yards in three of his last four games and has scored four TDs in that span. Keep Kelce in your lineup, guys!
Sit 'Em: Evan Engram, New York Giants
Evan Engram has been a major disappointment this season, and things don't get any easier in Week 12. He's facing the Chicago Bears, who have a top-5 defense.

D/ST: Defenses to Stream in Week 12
Start 'Em: New England Patriots
The Patriots' defense has been one of the best in the league all season, and they're facing the Dallas Cowboys this week. The Cowboys have struggled on the road all year, and with Tom Brady and the Pats' offense controlling the clock, the Cowboys' offense might not see the field enough to put up big numbers. The Patriots are a must-start D/ST this week, guys.
Sit 'Em: Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles' defense has been a major disappointment this season, and things don't get any easier in Week 12. They're facing the Seattle Seahawks, who have one of the best offenses in the league. The Eagles have allowed the most fantasy points to QBs all season and have scored just five sacks in their last four games. It's time to bench the Eagles' D/ST and look for a better option on your bench.
