Unlock the Fantasy Football Playoff Secrets

Quarterbacks

Patrick Mahomes, KC - Is Patrick Mahomes good? Absolutely! While he may not always be a top fantasy starter, facing the Carolina Panthers this week gives him a great opportunity to shine. The Chiefs could build a big lead early and let Mahomes showcase his skills. His upside is too good to leave him on the bench. ( 1)Just imagine Mahomes leading the Chiefs to victory and racking up impressive fantasy points. He's a true game-changer and can turn a mediocre game into a high-scoring one. ( 2)

Justin Herbert, LAC - The Chargers have been leaning more on the pass recently. With the Baltimore Ravens giving up the third-most points per game to opposing quarterbacks, Herbert has a chance to have a big game. He's been playing well and could lead the Chargers to victory with his arm. ( 1)Herbert's ability to make big plays and connect with his receivers makes him a reliable fantasy option. He's not to be underestimated, especially in a matchup like this. ( 2)

Running Backs

Javonte Williams, DEN - The Broncos' backfield has been a mystery all season, but Williams should have a productive performance regardless. The Raiders have been terrible against the run, and Williams has the potential to break loose for some big gains. ( 1)Even if it's not clear who will start for Denver, Williams is likely to get his share of touches. His running style and ability to break tackles make him a valuable asset in fantasy. ( 2)

Kareem Hunt, KC - Isiah Pacheco's return may be on the horizon, but that doesn't change Hunt's value. Facing the Carolina Panthers, Hunt is likely to see plenty of goal-line opportunities. He's been playing well and is the obvious second option on this team. ( 1)Hunt's ability to find the end zone and contribute in the red zone makes him a must-start in fantasy. He's a reliable source of points and won't let you down. ( 2)

Wide Receivers

Ladd McConkey, LAC - This Chargers rookie receiver has been on a roll. In Week 8, he broke out for 29.1 PPR fantasy points, and with the Baltimore Ravens surrendering the most non-PPR fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, McConkey has a great chance to have another big game. ( 1)McConkey's ability to make plays with limited opportunities is impressive. He's a rising star in the league and could be a key contributor in your fantasy lineup. ( 2)

Mike Williams, PIT - The Cleveland Browns have been awful against wide receivers, and Williams could benefit from this. With the Steelers facing a divisional foe, they may rely on him to gain an advantage. While he may not score 20-plus points, he could provide solid fantasy production. ( 1)Williams' size and athleticism make him a tough matchup for opposing defenses. He has the potential to make big plays and contribute to your fantasy team. ( 2)

Tight Ends

Cade Otton, TB - The New York Giants have been strong against tight ends, but Otton has earned his spot. In his last four games, he's had at least eight receptions and 70 yards. With the potential for Mike Evans to return, Otton could see even more targets. ( 1)Otton is a reliable target for Tom Brady and has been a consistent producer in the Tampa Bay offense. He's a valuable asset in fantasy and shouldn't be overlooked. ( 2)

Ja'Tavion Sanders, CAR - With the Chiefs likely to focus on shutting down Chuba Hubbard, the Panthers' passing game could open up for Sanders. He's the only pass-catcher who has been productive since Diontae Johnson's departure and could have a big game. ( 1)Sanders' ability to make plays in the passing game gives him value in fantasy. He's a player to watch and could provide a boost to your team. ( 2)

Quarterbacks to Sit

Matthew Stafford, LAR - The Philadelphia Eagles have been tough on opposing quarterbacks, allowing the sixth fewest fantasy points. Stafford may struggle to find the end zone against this defense, and the focus may be on Kyren Williams to score. ( 1)Stafford's performance could be limited by the Eagles' defense. It's a tough matchup for him, and he may not provide the fantasy points you're looking for. ( 2)

Jordan Love, GB - While Love has been great all year, he faced a tough matchup last week and may struggle again this week. The 49ers defense is very good at getting pressure, making it difficult for Love to produce in fantasy. ( 1)Love will need to find a way to overcome the 49ers' defense to have a successful game. It may not be easy, and he could be a risky start. ( 2)

Running Backs to Sit

J.K. Dobbins, LAC - Dobbins' history with the Baltimore Ravens may not translate well in this matchup. Gus Edwards has been eating into his role, and the Chargers could be playing from behind. Dobbins isn't a strong pass-catcher, which limits his value. ( 1)Facing a tough defense and a potential game situation where he may not get many touches, Dobbins is a risky option in fantasy. ( 2)

Kyren Williams, LAR - When Kupp and Nacua are healthy, Williams hasn't been the same. He's struggled to find consistent production and faces a tough Eagles defense. The receiving work just isn't there for him. ( 1)Williams needs more opportunities to shine, but with the competition for touches in the Rams' offense, he may not be a reliable fantasy option. ( 2)

Wide Receivers to Sit

Jordan Addison, MIN - He hasn't been performing well and got hurt in Week 11. Now, he's facing a stout Bears secondary. It's a tough situation for him, and he may not provide much value in fantasy. ( 1)Addison needs to get healthy and find his rhythm before he can be a reliable fantasy option. For now, it's best to stay away. ( 2)

Jakobi Meyers, LV - Meyers has been solid since Davante Adams' departure, but facing the Broncos' secondary in Week 12 will be a challenge. He may struggle to get open and make plays. ( 1)The Broncos' defense is capable of shutting down opposing receivers, and Meyers may find it difficult to produce in this matchup. ( 2)

Tight Ends to Sit

Dalton Schultz, HOU - The Tennessee Titans have been tough on tight ends, allowing the fifth fewest non-PPR points. With Nico Collins returning, Schultz's targets will likely decrease. ( 1)Schultz hasn't been a consistent producer this season and faces a tough matchup. It's best to look elsewhere for tight end production. ( 2)

Tucker Kraft, GB - The San Francisco 49ers are tough on tight ends, allowing the fifth-fewest non-PPR points. With the Packers likely to lean on the run, Kraft may not see many opportunities. ( 1)Kraft's fantasy value may be limited in this game. It's a risky play to start him. ( 2)
