Fantasy Questions Week 12. The 10 Biggest Fantasy Questions for the Week.

Grab some leftover turkey and hunker down because there remains all sorts of NFL action going on this weekend — and I’ve got some questions that simply need answers.

What follows are my 10 biggest questions ahead of this week’s action along with a bunch of other shit that I just so happened to find cool for one reason or another.

As always: It’s a great day to be great.

1. Are we going to see the Saints let Jameis go full Jameis this week?

With all due respect to Derek Carr (concussion) in his recovery: I sure hope so. Sadly Luckily, Carr got in a full practice on Wednesday and seems to be progressing through the protocol.

Winston has the sort of arm and gunslinger mentality that simply makes watching Red Zone better — and this combination immediately proved fruitful for No. 1 WR Chris Olave after Carr was sidelined back in Week 10.

Winston’s target shares upon entering the game were as follows:

• Olave (37.5%)
• Rashid Shaheed (16.6%)
• Alvin Kamara (16.6%)
• Taysom Hill (8.3%)
• Juwan Johnson (8.3%)
• A.T. Perry (8.3%)

Look, Olave’s good-not-great production has hardly always been Carr’s fault, but when you throw in an injury to Michael Thomas (knee, IR): It seems likely that Olave will see as much volume as he can handle. He’s a borderline WR1 for Week 12 and beyond regardless of who winds up being under center; it would just be a lot more entertaining for better or worse if that man happens to be Jamo.

This situation is also a bump to usual No. 3 WR Rashid Shaheed, who has been making big-time plays all season already anyway. Fifth among 99 qualified WRs in yards per reception (16.9), Shaheed is a legit borderline WR3 this week and someone I would start ahead of guys like Rashee Rice, Odell Beckham Jr., and Brandin Cooks among others.

A.J. Terrell and company hardly form a weak secondary, but they have posted bottom-seven numbers in yards per attempt (15.3, 26th), pass TD rate (18.4%, 29th) and passer rating allowed (120.1, 31st) on passes thrown 20-plus yards downfield this season.

Seriously, Derek: Take your time, man.

2. Is Tank Dell a weekly fantasy WR1 at this point?

That’s what he’s been over the last three weeks!

• Week 9: 6 receptions-114 yards-2 TD (11 targets), PPR WR2
• Week 10: 6-56-1 (14), WR13
• Week 11: 8-149-1 (10), WR3

You don’t have to be a Joshua Dobbs rocket scientist to figure out that Dell is good at football and benefiting from being the No. 1 target of one of the best rookie QBs … ever.

Still, it is worth wondering if Dell’s production is just a bit inflated at the moment relative to his actual real-life standing to his WR peers. Again: The rookie is obviously already really good, but seeing not one, not two, but three Texans WRs ranking among the position’s top-12 most efficient options in yards per route run is absolutely wild:

• Noah Brown (2.87, tied for third)
• Nico Collins (2.54, ninth)
• Dell (2.4, 12th)

C.J. Stroud hasn’t just been good for a rookie: The Ohio State product now ranks among the league’s top-10 signal-callers in yards per attempt (8.3, third), EPA per dropback (+0.15, seventh) and PFF passing grade (80.9, 10th).

Seriously: We are talking about the real-deal-holyfield here.

The continued absence of Brown (knee) would keep this down to a three-man rotation — but even then: I’ll be answering the vast majority of close start/sit questions featuring Dell or Collins with them as long as the Texans continue to look like one of the game’s single-most lethal passing attacks. Stroud is literally on pace to throw for 5,035 yards this season. Madness.

3. “Why be a king, when you can be a God?” - Jaylen Warren

There’s really been nothing wrong with Najee Harris this season. His average of 3.9 yards per carry is the same as guys like Austin Ekeler, Javonte Williams and Joe Mixon. Harris’ marks in yards after contact per attempt (2.9, 23rd) and missed tackles forced per carry (0.21) are legit good. Credit to the former first-round pick for also converting two of his three rushing attempts inside the five-yard line into scores.

Here’s the thing: Warren has been … the best RB in the league at making defenders miss and creating explosive plays on the ground.

“Gen-Z Austin Ekeler” has ripped off PPR RB15, RB8 and RB2 finishes over the past three weeks with touch totals of 14, 17 and 12. Not exactly the sort of usage one might expect for one of the game’s most efficient rushers, but perhaps this changes in the post-Matt Canada era.

Overall, Warren is the consensus Fantasy Life RB24 this week ahead of guys like Jerome Ford, Gus Edwards and James Cook. The matchup certainly doesn’t hurt: Only the Broncos (2) have allowed more rushing yards before contact per carry than the Bengals (1.8).

4. Who has the easiest schedules for the fantasy playoffs?

The following teams have truly prime schedules in Weeks 15-17 in terms of their opponent’s ranks in PPR fantasy points per game allowed to the position:

• QB (DEN, TEN, NO, LAR, CLE): This is actually a great stretch for some of the position’s more token streamable QB2s: Each of Russell Wilson (DET, NE, LAC), Will Levis (HOU, SEA, HOU), Derek Carr (NYG, LAR, TB) and Matthew Stafford (WSH, NO, NYG) are facing end-of-season stretches against defenses that average out to 20th or worst against the position.
• RB (ATL, LAC, PHI, PIT, NE): Not sold on Jaylen Warren’s late-season breakout potential? He gets the Colts (29th), Bengals (19th) and Seahawks (28th) during fantasy’s final three weeks of action. Giddyup.
• WR (SEA, ARZ, DEN, NO, BAL): Holy hell: D.K. Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Jaxon Smith-Njigba get the single-easiest end-of-season stretch of any position in the form of spots against the Eagles (32nd), Titans (27th) and Steelers (25th).
• TE (TEN, CLE, PIT, NYG, DET): Maybe just maybe David Njoku has a solid stretch run in store for his fantasy managers. He has set team-high marks in targets (22), receptions (13) and receiving yards (102) in two games with Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center.
• DST (CHI, LAR, NYJ, ATL, HOU): The latter three are the more intriguing options due to the reality that they are solid real-life defenses also benefiting from fantasy-friendly schedules. The Jets in particular are a nice stash worth holding simply for matchups in Week 16 (Commanders, 28th) and Week 17 (Browns, 26th).

5. What remaining RBs have far too much volume to consider benching in fantasy land?

The following RBs played at least 70% of their offense’s snaps in their team’s last game:

Giants RB Saquon Barkley (91%): Looked good last week on his way to an overall RB1 finish. Things won’t always be pretty inside this Tommy DeVito-led attack, but Barkley is as safe a bet for 15 to 20 touches per game as any back in the league.

Colts RB Jonathan Taylor (89%): That’s right: JT finally has the every-down Zack Moss role. Man, not a sentence I thought I would be typing this season, but here we are: Taylor has overall RB1 upside down the stretch should his post-bye efficiency return to 2022 levels — let alone 2020-21 heights.

Texans RB Devin Singletary (85%): The ex-Bills veteran has ripped off PPR RB3 and RB11 over the past two weeks on the back of an elite 83% snap share. One problem: Dameon Pierce (ankle) looks to be on the verge of returning, likely relegating Singletary back to more of a 1.A/1.B situation — both are risky RB3s against a Jaguars front-seven that has allowed the third-fewest rushing yards to the position this season.

Buccaneers RB Rachaad White (81%): Has ripped off PPR RB12, RB10, RB1, RB10 and RB12 finishes in his last five games. White has always had a massive workload, and this Buccaneers offense is #goodenough to supply ample scoring opportunities. Shoutout to the second-year back for being ESPN’s top-ranked RB in terms of receiving rating.

Dolphins RB Raheem Mostert (78%): Friendly reminder to check those fantasy lineups because there is Friday Dolphins-Jets football, baby! Mostert is my overall RB8 on the week.

Falcons RB Bijan Robinson (77%): Arthur Smith finally caved and gave the 2023 NFL Draft’s No. 8 overall pick his highest snap share since Week 6. Robinson remains a weekly recommended start as an upside RB2 even if top-five dreams are likely out of reach.

Raiders RB Josh Jacobs (76%): Remember all those unserious studies about how RBs who have massive workloads one season never seem to have any sort of success the next season? Jacobs presently has a league-high 231 touches and is working as the RB17 in PPR points per game. Not great, but more success should be ahead with this sort of every-down role.

Saints RB Alvin Kamara (74%): Currently averaging career-worst marks in yards per carry (3.7) and yard per target (5.4), yet is returning PPR RB3 per-game production thanks to a career-high 7.1 receptions per game — the seventh-highest mark regardless of position:

• Keenan Allen (8.3 receptions per game)
• Amon-Ra St. Brown (8.1)
• Tyreek Hill (7.9)
• Adam Thielen (7.6)
• CeeDee Lamb (7.2)
• Justin Jefferson (7.2)
• Kamara (7.1)

Chargers RB Austin Ekeler (71%): Has ripped off PPR RB24, RB36, RB5, RB4, RB4 and RB20 finishes since returning from injury in Week 6. As bad as he looked on this run, few RBs boast anything close to his fantasy-friendly blend of goal-line and receiving volume.

The likes of James Conner (68.9%), Rhamondre Stevenson (68%), Joe Mixon (66%) and Travis Etienne (65%) were close, but we have to draw the line somewhere. We HAVE to. You know?

Still, those latter two backs in particular still very much deserve every-week starting treatment and were more so victims to blowout game script. Breece Hall (61%) also falls under this category.

Anyway, RB volume is always subject to change courtesies of coaching or the will of the dreaded injury gods — but lucky for you: The Friday evening edition of The Fantasy Life Podcast always features myself and Fantasy Life Betting Lead Matthew Freedman breaking down all of the week’s fantasy-relevant injury news.

6. Is this statistically the worst Chiefs offense of the Mahomes era?

Pretty much. Patrick Mahomes and company are currently posting six-year lows in PFF offensive grade (73.6), EPA per play (+0.013) points per game (22.5). The latter mark is nearly more than a TD lower than the Chiefs’ previous “worst” scoring seasons back in 2019 (28.2) and 2021 (28.2).

So is Mahomes washed? Not exactly.

The Chiefs have four qualified WRs among 88 qualified players at the position in ESPN’s Receiver Rating metric. They rank as follows:

• Rashee Rice (63 – tied for 19th)
• Justin Watson (44 – 62nd)
• Marquez Valdes-Scantling (31 – 82nd)
• Skyy Moore (30 – 84th)

Yes, it’s just one metric, but Rice remains the only Chiefs WR inside the top-60 in PFF receiving grade and passer rating when targeted: Good things have generally not been happening when Mahomes throws the football to anyone not named Travis Kelce, Rashee Rice or one of the team’ RBs; just look at his passer rating differences depending on the targeted receiver:

• Jerick McKinnon (131 passer rating when targeted)
• Rice (125.9)
• Kelce (111)
• Isiah Pacheco (101.4)
• MVS (83.8)
• Kadarius Toney (82.4)
• Watson (70.3)
• Moore (61.1)

The inconsistent WR play has helped limit Mahomes to under 20 fantasy points in six of his last seven games. October 22 was the last time this group scored a second-half TD for crying out loud.

Good news: Sunday’s matchup with the Raiders should provide some level of a get-right spot for the game’s best QB. Overall, Mahomes has posted 340-2-1, 348-2-1, 406-5-0, 258-2-0, 292-4-0 and 202-1-0 passing lines against this group since 2020; it just sucks that nobody other than Kelce is a must-start fantasy option.

This includes Rice, who sadly did NOT see a post-bye bump in usage. Still a solid enough FLEX option in good matchups like the one on Sunday, but he’s still only seen more than five targets in a game twice all season.

7. Is this the Derrick Henry boom week we’ve been waiting for?

Sure would be cool if it was!

Henry managed to gain 100-plus yards and score a TD in four of five games before his recent two-game slide. Overall, tough run-D matchups against the  Buccaneers and Jaguars yielded just 64 scoreless yards on 23 touches.

Enter: The Panthers’ 31s-ranked defense in PPR points per game allowed to the position. Carolina has allowed at least 100 yards on the ground in all but one game this season, letting opposing RBs of all shapes and sizes largely do whatever they want.

Overall, this defense has allowed an opposing RB to score 15-plus PPR points in all but two games this season, notably getting absolutely fleeced by Raheem Mostert (34.2 PPR points), Kenneth Walker (30.6), Tyler Allgeier (24.4), David Montgomery (20.9) and Bijan Robinson (20.3).

There’s a chance for showers and the weather is starting to get colder: It’s almost that time of the year when more and more professional football players start making business decisions when presented with the opportunity to meet Henry head-on. His career regular-season average yards per carry by month are:

• September: 3.9 yards per carry
• October: 4.6
• November: 5.0
• December: 5.5
• January: 5.4

Yes, Henry and PFF’s 30th-ranked offensive line aren’t exactly the same juggernaut as in years past. Also yes, the Panthers let Tony Pollard score a TD last week. Tony Pollard! I know! Can you believe it?

Obviously, fantasy managers are continuing to start Henry regardless through thick and thin; just realize the expectation for an explosion should be ESPECIALLY high ahead of this smash spot. 

Also note that backup RB Tyjae Spears remains rostered in only 38% of Yahoo leagues — he’d instantly be in the upside RB2 conversation should Henry be forced to miss any time down the stretch. The rookie is good with the football in his hands.

8. Was the Week 11 Justin Fields experience pretty … awesome?

Oh you bet your ass it was.

There were other passes that were of the exceptional variety, but it was Fields’ rushing prowess earned top billing in Dwain McFarland’s ever-excellent Utilization Report:

“Fields rushed for 104 yards on 18 attempts against the Lions. He handled a season-high 33% (14) of the team-designed rushing attempts, and his 14% (4) tied a season-high mark. Fields ranks No. 2 in the NFL in scramble rate at 9% – trailing only Lamar Jackson (12%).

The Bears registered their lowest DBOE (dropback rate over expectation) of the season at -17% in a close loss to their division rivals. Fields only dropped back to pass 23 times, throwing for 169 yards and a TD.

Regardless of the game script, Fields is a huge part of what the Bears do and offers immense fantasy upside.

The former first-round NFL pick averages 9.7 attempts (designed plus scrambles) and 20.3 fantasy points in six healthy starts. Since 2008, QBs with nine or more attempts per game have averaged 21 fantasy points per contest.

Outlook: Fields is a mid-range QB1 with high-end QB1 upside.”

I generally absolutely hate Dwain’s opinion on everything, but I have to agree with him here: Fields is the Fantasy Life consensus QB7 ahead of guys like Kyler Murray, Tua Tagovailoa and Justin Herbert ahead of his Monday night matchup against a Vikings defense that gave up a quick 46 rushing yards to Field in a half before he injured his thumb all the way back in Week 6.

(Also, just kidding, Dwain. Love ya brother. Please give our fantasy rosters a quick run-through before Sunday if you’re reading this because I’ll either be celebrating or crying to epic proportions depending on the outcome of Ohio State-Michigan. Thanks, man.)

9. Who will rise to the top of this Mark Andrews-less Ravens passing game?

Maybe Isaiah Likely! It just depends on whether you want to invest more stock in the second-year TE’s performance with a full-time role in 2022, or in the two games he’s played without Andrews (foot, IR) this season:

• Week 8, 2022: 6 receptions-77 yards-1 TD
• Week 9, 2022: 1-24-1
• Week 18, 2022: 8-103-0
• Week 1, 2023: 1-4-0
• Week 11, 2023: 0-0-0

Here’s the thing: Likely has posted elite route participation numbers in each of these contests, clearing the 75% mark in each and every contest. He’s the consensus TE13 in the Fantasy Life rankings ahead of guys like Kyle Pitts and Logan Thomas for now, but a bigger leap could be incoming with a bit more evidence of volume in this 2023 offense.

Seriously: Likely’s rest-of-season schedule is HOT:

• Week 12 at Chargers: 30th in PPR points per game allowed to TEs
• Week 13 BYE
• Week 14 vs. Rams: 24th
• Week 15 at Jaguars: 23rd
• Week 16 at 49ers: 6th
• Week 17 vs. Dolphins: 20th

Maybe not necessarily all layups for this passing game, but perhaps more importantly these are matchups that will inevitably feature gaudy fantasy-friendly game totals thanks to the firepower involved on both sidelines.

There’s also rest-of-season optimism for this WR room with Lamar Jackson’s go-to target suddenly out of the picture:

• Zay Flowers: Was horrifically robbed of a 68-yard house call last week, but has still flashed plenty as both a route-runner and YAC-merchant. Yes, Flowers has a position-high 72 targets with one or less TDs this season. Also yes, he is now the favorite for No. 1 pass-game option duties and sure looks a lot like someone who should have every opportunity to absolutely boom down the stretch.
• Odell Beckham Jr.: Reached 19.9 miles per hour on his 40-yard slant the other week — faster than his best Super Bowl speed (19 MPH) before the injury (Next-Gen Stats). It’d be a lot cooler if OBJ (52% routes in Week 11) didn’t lose so many reps to Nelson Agholor (45%), but the 31-year-old veteran has still managed to post 5-56-1, 1-40-1 and 4-116-0 receiving lines in his last three games. Keep an eye on the shoulder, but there’s upside WR3 potential here down the stretch.
• Rashod Bateman: Still hasn’t reached 40 receiving yards in a game this season, although opportunities could be more plentiful the rest of the way considering the former first-round pick posted back-to-back season-high marks in route rate (77%, 76%) in Weeks 10 and 11. Bateman isn’t a recommended start for the time being, but he might be a good waiver wire pickup after he inevitably gets dropped off many rosters during Week 13 bye-mageddon.

10. What are three bold calls for Week 12?

Every week I put together matchup-specific charts to help determine the week’s biggest advantages by combining offensive and defensive rates in explosive plays, pressure, yards before contact, passing yards per dropback and EPA. This provides singular metrics to help quantity advantages on both sides of the ball instead of always having to go, “Offense ranks x, defense ranks y.”

The following three players might have a red flag or two in their Week 12 projection — that’s why they aren’t ranked as sure-thing top-12 options at their position — but I believe there’s enough of an edge in the matchup to warrant enhanced optimism.

Will these bold calls work out? Probably not! But should that stop us from trying to predict some cool f*cking shit? Absolutely not!

1. Zay Flowers finally truly breaks out, goes for 8-130-2 on Sunday night football. The Ravens have top-four matchups in both combined explosive pass play rate and pass yards per dropback. against a Chargers defense that was allowing the second-most PPR points per game to opposing WRs before losing DL Joey Bosa (foot, IR) for the foreseeable future.
2. Jerome Ford becomes the latest RB to torch the Broncos, clears the century mark on the ground and scores twice. Denver ranks dead-ass last in both yards before contact allowed per carry and PPR points per game surrendered to opposing RBs. Meanwhile, Ford has racked up at least 15 combined carries and targets in all but two games this season and has the sort of big-play ability to rack up fantasy points in a hurry.
3. Michael Pittman becomes the latest WR to torch the Buccaneers, goes 9-119-1. Gardner Minshew is expected to have one of the more consistently clean pockets of the week against a Bucs secondary that has been torched by guys like Brandon Aiyuk (5-156-1), Noah Brown (6-153-1), Justin Jefferson (9-150-0), A.J. Brown (9-131-0),  (12-124-1) and Tank Dell (6-114-2) among others. Pittman is one of only nine WRs with at least 30% of their team’s targets; expect his production to more closely match his WR1-level workload this week.

More Week 12 Notes

• Shoutout to rookie Giants QB Tommy Devito for genuinely making some nice throws during the Giants’ Week 11 win over the Commanders. Mostly to Saquon Barkley, but hey yards are yards and points are points. Fun fact: Devito now has more career games with multiple TDs than Kenny Pickett. His TD celebration is objectively awesome.
   
• Much was made about the 2023 Patriots benefiting from moving on from offensive coordinator Matt Patricia. In reality, the 2022 offense (21.4) averaged a full TD more than what Bill O’Brien and company (14.1) have managed through 11 weeks of action.
   
• So long, Matt Canada. Here are some notable accomplishments by the Steelers offense during his two-and-a-half-year tenure.
  • Pittsburgh ranked 21st, 26th and 28th in points per game during the 2021 to 2023 seasons.
  • Only the Panthers and Giants averaged fewer yards per play than the Steelers (4.8).
  • Only the Giants and Jets had a lower percentage of drives that went for TDs (15.3%).
  • The team’s 17.7% play-action rate ranks dead last and never increased in the absence of Ben Roethlisberger.
     
• Head coach Mike Tomlin just wants to see points. Same, man.
   
• Maybe Jake Browning’s mediocrity in college and in the preseason won’t matter and he’ll simply be amazing at the NFL level. Or, his performance more closely resembles that of injured early-season Joe Burrow, when Ja’Marr Chase posted rather brutal PPR WR44, WR61, WR6 and WR27 finishes out of the gate. Even if the efficiency lags, look for Chase to see his usual monster workload: He’s one of just five players already with triple-digit targets entering Week 12.
   
• Panthers QB Bryce Young and Zach Wilson rank 41st and 42nd in EPA per dropback this season. Let that sink in. Throw in a suddenly split backfield, and Adam Thielen is quite literally the only recommended start out of a Carolina offense that hasn’t scored more than 15 points since the middle of October.
  • This season:
    • EPA per dropback: Tannehill (0), Levis (0)
    • Completion percentage over expected: Tannehill (-0.6%), Levi (+0.4%)
    • Yards per attempt: Tannehill (7.1), Levis (6.9)
    • Adjusted completion rate: Tannehill (72.8%), Levis (68.4%)
    • Average target depth: Tannehill (9.9), Levis (11)
       
• The rookie has flashed enough upside to warrant starting moving forward; just realize his play overall hasn’t matched the dazzling heights of his four-TD debut.
   
• I don’t buy the hype surrounding the idea that Zay Jones is responsible for Calvin Ridley’s good games. Are we really saying that Jones — playing in what was basically his first full game since Week 1 — demanded the attention of the Titans secondary and coaching staff to the extent that HE is the reason why Ridley boomed? Yes, the splits say what the splits say. Also yes, Jones wasn’t even on the f*cking football field for one of Ridley’s TDs last week. Correlation doesn’t imply causation, friends. Kudos to the Jaguars passing game for putting forward one of their best performances of the season, but one boom doesn’t exactly change the fact that Ridley has been a boom-or-bust WR3 all season long.
   
• Arthur Smith has handed the reins back over to Desmond Ridder, who is the NFL’s only QB to start at least 10 games over the past two seasons and fail to throw for double-digit TDs (he’s at 8). On the bright side, Ridder has also struggled mightily with taking care of the football, posting the position’s fourth-worst turnover-worthy play rate (5.6%) among 39 QBs with at least 100 dropbacks this season. Oh, what’s that? That’s horrible and not in any way a bright side? My bad. 
   
• Puka Nacua without Cooper Kupp (ankle) this season: 10-119-0, 15-147-0, 5-72-0 and 9-163-1. The rookie is a locked-in WR1 for however long Kupp might be sidelined. Tutu Atwell is also deserving of being in the WR3 conversation this week; the pint-sized speedster saw eight, nine, nine and nine targets in four games as the offense’s clear-cut No. 2 WR to start the season.
   
• Week 10 demonstrated Kyler Murray still has the speed, while Week 11 showed off the return of his b-e-a–utiful deep ball. The former No. 1 overall pick is a top-10 fantasy option at the position the rest of the way.
   
• Shoutout to Broncos WR Courtland Sutton for catching a TD in all but two games this season.
   
• “Full-PPR scoring is the devil.” — Mama Boucher

• Bills WR Khalil Shakir has three top-25 finishes in his last four games and it’s like none of you even care.
   
• Well, OK: Stefon Diggs fantasy managers probably care. Shakir has out-gained Diggs over the past four weeks, and the veteran receiver has also faced severe target competition from the team’s 2023 first-round pick ever since Dawson Knox (wrist, IR) exited the picture:
  • Dalton Kincaid in Weeks 8-11: 26 receptions-243 yards-2 TD (32 targets)
  • Diggs: 22-217-1 (32)
     
• Friendly reminder that Week 13 has each of the Ravens, Bills, Bears, Raiders, Vikings and Giants on bye — so get ahead of the game for any necessary streaming options now instead of early next week when everyone wises up to the reality that bye-mageddon is here.
   
• Tyreek Hill is currently my personal pick for MVP:

1. On pace for the season’s most outstanding record-breaking feat (2,000 receiving yards)
2. The unquestioned engine of the league’s top-ranked scoring offense
3. Probably the most consistently elite player in the league regardless of position considering Hill has only been held under 100 yards four times all season, and he still managed to score a TD in two of those games.

• There are certainly a handful of QBs deserving of being in this conversation, but none have exactly put their best foot forward week after week this season quite like Hill has.
   
• Poor Garrett Wilson, man.
   
• Also poor Evan Engram, who has an NFL-high 71 targets without a TD this season. Nobody else is even at 50.

Hope you all had a good time celebrating Thanksgiving with your loved ones — because now it’s more imperative than EVER to ignore your friends and family in order to focus on winning fantasy championship gold.

Just kidding. Kind of. Best of luck in Week 12!
