Week 12 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice

Sterling Shepard (WR – TB)

“Sterling Shepard in a revenge game fueled by his college and current QB, Baker Mayfield. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers rank in the top five in completions and have the second-lowest aDOT (average depth of target) in the NFL this season, which bodes well for Shepard as Tampa’s preferred Chris Godwin stand-in. The Bucs should be able to win the time of possession battle as their defense is in the top 10 in QB sacks, pressures, hits, hurries and knockdowns, per Sports Info Solutions. That’s good news for Tampa’s passing volume but bad news for Giants QB Tommy DeVito, who was sacked at least five times in four starts last season. Bucs WR Jalen McMillan is also worth a flier as he returns from a hamstring injury to hopefully enjoy the “post-bye rookie bump.”

Roschon Johnson (RB – CHI)

“It’s a tough matchup for Roschon Johnson this week, but the change in coaching staff has led to some interesting usage. Against the Packers, Johnson was not only the passing down back, he returned to being a significant short-yardage and goal-line back. That’s a lot of usage for a team that is often trailing while also running a lot in the red zone. This could easily be far closer to a committee than D’Andre Swift owners would like to admit.”
– Ben Wasley (The Fantasy First Down)

“Roschon Johnson handled 34% of the Bears’ carries in Week 11 — a season-high. There’s potential for him to see more work on Sunday, as D’Andre Swift is dealing with a groin injury.”
– Kevin English (Draft Sharks)

Trey Benson (RB – ARI)

“I think Trey Benson is worth a shot as an upside bye-week fill-in this week. Each of the past four weeks Benson has seen an increase in opportunities (targets plus touches). James Conner has seen a decrease each week in the same time frame. The Seahawks have given up an average of 26 PPR fantasy points per game over the past seven games, so there is room for both Benson and Conner to have solid production.”
– Michael Tomlin (Fantasy Six Pack)

“Trey Benson. Over the last couple of games, Benson has started to carve out a role in this offense that is only going to get larger as the season goes on. The Cardinals drafted Benson with the expectation he would eventually become their guy, so they are going to give him the opportunity to at least find out if he is the guy or not. Is he going to be an RB1 this week with Connor still relevant? Probably not. But Benson could be a decent Flex play this week, especially with so many players on bye this week.”
