As Week 12 of the NFL season approaches, fans and fantasy football managers alike are eager for bold predictions that could offer an edge in their lineups. This week”s predictions feature notable players such as Shedeur Sanders and Rico Dowdle.
Jameis Winston is set to take the reins as the starting quarterback for the New York Giants, following Jaxson Dart“s inability to pass concussion protocols. Winston will face off against the Detroit Lions, a team that has been generous to quarterbacks this season, ranking 12th in fantasy points allowed. Expect a high-scoring affair, with Winston likely contributing a mix of touchdowns and turnovers.
Meanwhile, rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders is also making headlines as he prepares to start his first game for the Cleveland Browns. Despite concerns from fantasy owners regarding his performance against the Las Vegas Raiders, it”s important to remember that the Raiders have struggled significantly this season. Their consistent missteps could pave the way for Sanders to have a successful debut.
Another player to watch is Rhamondre Stevenson, who is anticipated to return to the New England Patriots this week. Stevenson finds himself in a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although the Patriots” backfield dynamics have shifted with the emergence of rookie TreVeyon Henderson, Stevenson is expected to receive crucial red zone opportunities and enough carries to solidify his status as an RB1.
On the flip side, Rico Dowdle“s grip on the RB1 position in Carolina appears to be slipping. In Week 11, Chuba Hubbard outperformed Dowdle, and while Dowdle had more carries, his performance was lackluster compared to Hubbard”s efficiency. The Panthers” coaching staff is likely to favor Hubbard moving forward, especially considering their investment in him, suggesting a shift towards a more balanced distribution of carries.
Lastly, wide receiver Michael Wilson is poised to improve on his prior week”s performance. After catching 15 passes for 185 yards without a touchdown, Wilson is expected to find the end zone against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week. He could tally nine receptions for 125 yards and two touchdowns, adding significant value for fantasy managers.
As the NFL landscape continues to evolve, these bold predictions for Week 12 could be crucial for fantasy football enthusiasts looking to secure a win.
