Fantasy Football Burning Questions: Week 12 (2024)
How do we navigate the Broncos backfield?
When Sean Peyton announced Audric Estime would get more snaps, he was the trendy pickup, but it didn’t work out. After a big boost with 45% of the snap share in Week 10, that plummeted to 23% in Week 11.
Javonte Williams is the only back you can be confident in because he’s gone under 50% snap share once this year. Unless he suddenly wants to give a chance to Blake Nelson, Williams is the guy.
You’re getting what you hoped for with Darnold. He hasn’t been as great as he was at the start of the season, but he’s still delivering results. He’s exceeded his projections in nine of 11 matchups and has done it by more than five points four times.
This week will be a tough matchup against Chicago, allowing the fewest fantasy points to the quarterbacks. The playoff schedule isn’t the easiest as he faces Chicago again, Seattle, and Green Bay in your fantasy playoffs. I might be looking for others.
Has Jerry Jeudy become a set-it-and-forget-it?
With Jameis Winston at quarterback, all the Cleveland pass catchers will eat. Winston has 40 or more pass attempts in three of his four starts, and in those three games, Jeudy, Elijah Moore, and Cedric Tillman have at least eight targets.
We must pay attention to Tillman’s status throughout the week. He left the game against Pittsburgh with a concussion. If Tillman can’t suit up, then Jeudy should be the WR1.
Will Ladd McConkey continue to put up similar numbers?
This Chargers offense has slightly changed its style since the start of the year. Under Greg Roman’s offense, they were a heavy run team, but they are starting to let it fly with Herbert. He’s gone from averaging 22 pass attempts per game in the first four games to 31 in the last six.
The volume will be there for McConkey to keep putting up those numbers.
McConkey has led the team in target in eight of ten games. Think of him as Herbert’s new Keenan Allen, with McConkey lining up as the slot receiver in 66.4% of his snaps, sixth-most amongst wide receivers.
