Fantasy Football Players to Sell: Week 12
Here are players we’re trading away in fantasy football Week 12.
Players to Sell Week 12
Malik Nabers led the team in targets with 10, catching six passes for 50 yards, averaging 8.3 yards per reception with a long of 19 yards. He had a 41-yard catch overturned. Still dominated with a 31% target share, gaining 111 air yards, representing 42% of air yards.
Nabers was being evaluated for a concussion in the fourth quarter. Not good. Given he missed two games with his first concussion earlier this season, he could be slated for more missed games down the road. We won’t get as much information on him with him on bye as well. If you have Nabers and can withstand him missing any games, hold him. But be sure to have a backup plan, such as Darius Slayton waiting in the wings. However, the latest news we got from Sunday is that Nabers did not sustain a concussion and should be good to go.
Per FantasyPros’ SOS tool, it’s the No. 1 most favorable schedule for fantasy WRs. However, I am terrified of relying on Tommy DeVito for fear he nukes this offense. Put Nabers on the block.
Aaron Jones managed 39 yards on 15 carries, averaging 2.6 yards per attempt, with a long run of 5 yards. One red-zone rushing attempt without scoring.
Cam Akers contributed 25 yards on 10 carries, averaging 2.5 yards per attempt, with a long run of 12 yards. One red-zone rushing attempt and one red-zone reception, resulting in a receiving touchdown.
Akers caught both of his targets for 11 yards and a receiving touchdown, averaging 5.5 yards per catch, with a long of 8 yards and 9 yards after the catch.
Jones caught his only target for 4 yards, with 6 yards after the catch.
Jones split carries six versus three in the first half with Akers.
I’ve voiced concerns about Jones’ workload in previous editions of the forecast, and we are starting to see it reduced. 53% snap marked his lowest in a game this season without any injury.
Akers needs to be rostered everywhere, given Jones’ injury history and the small injuries he’s dealt with this season.
Minnesota plays @ CHI and vs ARI. Then it’s vs ATL, vs CHI, @ SEA and vs GB.
This is a good schedule for the offense to stay on an upward trend. Hold your Vikings tight if you don’t see any great deals. However, given that Jones is an older RB who has already had a soft-body tissue injury, among others, this season, add/hold Akers. Also, entertain the idea of “selling high” on Jones based on the injury history and the fact that he is getting an overwhelming amount of touches. He’s pacing for over 300 touches coming off by far his worst game to date where he averaged 2.6 yards per carry and an abysmal 6.7% success rate. A friendly reminder that the Titans have an elite run-stuffing defense.
J.K. Dobbins: Led the backfield with 11 carries for 56 yards and 2 touchdowns, averaging 5.1 yards per carry, with a long of 29 yards. Dobbins: Added 1 catch for 3 yards finishing the game with a 735 snap share.
I had the under on Dobbins’ rushing yards prop and it looked like it was going to cash until he scored that last touchdown on the final drive to win the game.
Before the last 29-yard rushing touchdown, Dobbins was sitting on 10 carries for 27 yards. Woof.
Gus Edwards: Rushed 6 times for 27 yards, averaging 4.5 yards per carry, with a long of 9 yards. Two red-zone rushing attempts but no touchdowns.
The duo split carries five apiece in the first half, with Dobbins averaging just 1.8 yards per carry.
Hassan Haskins: Carried the ball twice for 1 yard. Two red-zone rushing attempts without a score.
If Dobbins can stay healthy, he will be a force in the fantasy football playoffs against the Patriots. However, it’s tough sledding up to that point, and adding Edwards/Haskins into the fold as red-zone headaches is another layer of complexity.
Per the FantasyPros SOS tool, the Chargers also have the second-worst-ranked schedule for running backs.
Said it last week and I’ll say it again. It’s time to sell high on Dobbins before the stretch run.
D’Andre Swift was a key contributor in the run game, leading with 14 carries for 71 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.1 yards per carry with a long gain of 39 yards. Roschon Johnson chipped in with 33 yards and a touchdown on 10 carries, averaging 3.3 yards per attempt. D.J. Moore also added 5 rushing yards on a single attempt.
Swift out-carried RJ eight to two in the first half. But Swift also only played 57% of the snaps to Johnson’s 42%. That was a season-high snap rate for Johnson and the lowest for Swift since Week 3.
Johnson also had four red-zone rushing attempts resulted in one touchdown. Swift only had one red-zone attempt.
Use this dead-cat bounce performance by the Bears offense to SELL. No team has a more difficult schedule this season than the Bears.
From Weeks 12-17, it’s MIN, @ DET, @ SF, @ MIN, DET and SEA.
Per the FantasyPros Strength of Schedule tool, the Bears also have a bottom schedule for fantasy RBs for the rest of the season.
Sell Swift, who probably has the most value left. Injuries have decimated the Bears OL and he is losing out on high-value touches to Johnson.
Kareem Hunt: Carried the ball 14 times for 60 yards, averaging 4.3 yards per attempt, with a long of 17 yards. Three red-zone rushing attempts but no touchdowns despite a 69% snap share.
Isiah Pacheco is currently on injured reserve with an ankle injury but is expected to return for the Chiefs’ Week 12 game against the Panthers.
The usage for Hunt is virtually off-the-chart. And if he wasn’t past his prime, he’d be pushing for top 5 weekly RB status. It makes you wonder about the type of season Isiah Pacheco was set up to have before his injury.
Still, Hunt managers need to realize the dream is about to end.
Pacheco’s return creates major ambiguity about how useful Hunt will be in crunch time during the fantasy football playoffs. Don’t hold onto Hunt too tight before he totally loses value.
I am still very skeptical about how effective Pacheco will be coming off the broken leg injury, but I think his presence will hurt Hunt’s bottom line.
