Fantasy Football Week 12 Streamers: Next Man Up

With no teams on a bye, streamers might not be a major priority this week. However, similar to most weeks, several players are dealing with injuries, and given the current pandemic, it is always good to be prepared. As we get closer to the fantasy playoffs, there are still players available that could end up being useful for the week, while others could be potential league winners.

Derek Carr, Las Vegas Raiders, Quarterback

After throwing for three touchdowns in an impressive Sunday night performance, Carr is in a position to put up some big numbers once again this weekend. Facing a Falcons defense that has been generous to quarterbacks all season and just allowed Taysom Hill to total 284 yards and two scores in his debut as a starter should present Carr with a favorable matchup to produce another solid outing.

Gus Edwards, Baltimore Ravens, Running Back

With Dobbins and Ingram ruled out this week, Gus Edwards should be the lead back against the Steelers Thursday night. Although the Steelers present a tough matchup, Edwards should see plenty of volume to return production against a defense that just allowed 94 scrimmage yards to James Robinson. 

Michael Pittman Jr., Indianapolis Colts, Wide Receiver

In his last three appearances, Michael Pittman has led the team in receiving yards in each game. This weekend he gets to face a Titans defense that he was able to torch for 122 yards on prime time a few weeks ago. Given how impressive the rookie has been, Pittman should see plenty of targets to produce once again this Sunday.

Dalton Schultz, Dallas Cowboys, Tight End

Schultz has posted 48+ yards or a touchdown in his last three games. Coming off an impressive win, the Cowboys offense should be able to put up numbers, and given how poor their defense has been, Schultz should continue to see targets and remain productive this Thursday.

Seattle Seahawks, D/ST

After several tough matchups against some high-powered offenses, the Seahawks’ defense should have a much simpler task this week as they take on a struggling Eagles offense with a quarterback that leads the league in interceptions. With Dunlap providing much-needed pressure, the Seahawks defense has looked solid recently and with the long week of rest, the Seahawks should be able to take advantage of a favorable situation this Sunday.
