Week 12 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR – SEA)

Jaxon Smith-Njigba has had a pair of excellent performances, but they were both in each matchup for slot receivers. He now takes on the Cardinals, a team more susceptible to the run game, and also has a healthier DK Metcalf to deal with. I think we are more likely to see a regression game for Smith-Njigba than another big outing.”

DK Metcalf (WR – SEA)

DK Metcalf is in a surprisingly tough spot against the Cardinals this week. Arizona’s defense has faced Garrett Wilson, Davante Adams, D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle over the past three games. Those six averaged 45 yards per game, with no one above 72 yards. Not one of the six scored. The Cardinals are limiting big plays against the pass, with not one of those top receiving options breaking 30 yards on a play, something Metcalf needs to succeed.”
Michael Tomlin (Fantasy Six Pack)

Chuba Hubbard (RB – CAR)

Chuba Hubbard. Hubbard’s been one of the top fantasy surprises of 2024, sitting in the top 12 in PPR points per game. This week brings the return of Jonathon Brooks, though. And the Kansas City matchup is brutal. They’ve allowed only 3.1 yards per carry and five total RB scores all season.”
Kevin English (Draft Sharks)
