Week 12 is underway after an ugly Thursday Night Football game. With the fantasy playoffs fast approaching, I have some capitulation to do this week.

Quarterback

Start: Jared Goff, Lions

Coming off a shellacking at the hands of the Eagles, the Lions are a safe bet to get back on track this week. Vegas has Detroit with the highest team total of the weekend at 30.25. The Giants use man coverage at the second-highest rate in the league. Goff ranks third in YPA (8.1) against man and fourth in completion rate (60 percent). Of note, Jameson Williams didn’t make it into this article as a “Start”, but he is averaging 2.53 YPRR against man this year. Feel free to fire him up again this week.

Start: Jacoby Brissett, Cardinals

The Brissett gravy train will end one day, but Sunday isn’t that day.
