NFL Fantasy Projections: Insights for Week 12
This week, we’re diving into the latest NFL fantasy projections to help you make the best lineup choices. Excitement is building as teams prepare for matchups that will impact playoff hopes.
In Los Angeles, Justin Herbert is heating up. After a slower start to the season, he has started to show why he’s considered an elite quarterback. Currently, he is projected to score 16.3 fantasy points. Since Week 8, Herbert has averaged 21.9 points per game, throwing two touchdowns in each of his last four games. Adding to his value, he has rushed for 148 yards in those games, up from just 34 in the first half of the season. Facing a Baltimore defense that struggles against the pass, this week could be another strong showing.
Moving on to Bo Nix, the young quarterback is projected to score 14.9 points after a stunning performance last week where he threw four touchdown passes. He’s had a solid run as he faces off against a weak Raiders defense that ranks 29th in passing efficiency.
James Conner is expected to bring in 14.4 points in what could be a close game against the Seahawks. With a matchup favoring the run, Conner has the potential for a breakout game, especially since he has averaged over 100 scrimmage yards in five of his last seven outings.
Tyler Robinson has quietly become a reliable fantasy option, projected to score 12.9 points thanks to a favorable matchup against the Cowboys, who have allowed the second-most rushing touchdowns this season.
As we prepare for the games, it’s essential to stay updated on player statuses. Ladd McConkey, a rising star, faces off against a Ravens defense that has allowed significant passing yards, giving him potential to exceed his projected 12.4 fantasy points if he can shake off his shoulder issue.
Meanwhile, in Tennessee, Westbrook-Ikhine has stepped up significantly in the absence of DeAndre Hopkins. With a projected score of 6.3, he has been a reliable source with multiple touchdowns recently, and facing a generous Texans defense might boost his numbers further.
Overall, Week 12 presents plenty of opportunities for fantasy managers to maximize their point-hauling potential. Keep an eye on injury reports, matchups, and previous performances to guide your decisions, as players like Herbert and Nix look to make big impacts this week.
