Fantasy Football Week 12 Quarterback Preview: Streamers, projections, matchups and more
Everything you need to know about quarterback in Week 12
•
1 min read
I can understand if you're frustrated by Russell Wilson's recent play and want to sit him. It's even more understandable if Dak Prescott on a short week without his full cast has you running to the waiver wire. Just know that you're entering the world of streaming roulette and there's no one with a better floor or ceiling than those two this week.
Taylor Heinicke actually projects better than Wilson or Prescott below. He's also not someone I'm comfortable ranking where I have him projected. Because Heinicke's season has been a roller coaster. He has four games over 23 Fantasy points, but last week was the first time since Week 4 he hit that mark. And if I'm choosing matchups, I'd much rather be up against the Washington Football Team defense than Seattle's recently improved unit.
Let's get to the rest of the Week 12 preview:
Week 12 QB Preview
QB Preview
Numbers to know
- 27.6 -- The Washington Football Team is allowing nearly 28 GPPG to quarterbacks, the highest mark in the league.
- 6.3 -- Intended air yards per attempt for Andy Dalton. Amongst qualified starters only Jared Goff has a lower mark. Justin Fields leads the league at 10.3.
- 67.9% -- Just over two-thirds of Trevor Lawrence's throws have been graded 'on target' by Pro Football Reference. No other starter is below 70%.
- 9.9 -- Jalen Hurts is averaging nearly 10 Fantasy points per game on the ground. That is one way to overcome low pass volume.
- 6.7 -- Joe Burrow has averaged just 6.7 yards per attempt over the past three weeks. He was at 9.2 for the first seven weeks of the season.

The best thing that could happen to Heinicke would be if Russell Wilson bounces back as we expect him to. It also wouldn't hurt if he got Logan Thomas and Curtis Samuel back.

Taylor has a fantastic matchup, the only real question is whether he'll have enough pass attempts and whether he get into the end zone.

One To Stash
If Hill gets a shot this season you should expect him to be a top-12 quarterback.

Brady is due for one of those 40-point outbursts and a dome game against a middling Colts pass defense is as good a place as any. He's my No. 1 quarterback on the slate regardless of price.
