Some plays were left on the field, but Tannehill is another quarterback that struggled in his first matchup against a division rival earlier this month-throwing for just 147 yards and one touchdown versus Indy.
We know the rushing upside will always be there for Jackson, but he moves just out of QB1 territory for me with no byes in Week 12. Jackson completed just 46.4% of his passes and turned it over four times in the first meeting against Pittsburgh this year, and the passing attack hasn’t gotten much better since then with 201.7 yards per game and just three touchdowns over the past three weeks. Thumbs Down of the Week: Lamar Jackson PIT) It’d be great to see the veteran go off on the national stage, and the Cowboys just allowed Kirk Cousins to throw for 314 yards and three scores last week. Washington was able to keep the ball on the ground last week in a 20-9 victory over Cincinnati, but the Thanksgiving matchup in Dallas could be more of a back-and-forth game, and Smith has shown a good connection with his wideouts when given time in the pocket. Indianapolis has scored 34 points in back-to-back weeks, and Rivers should at least be a strong QB2 play if he can have more luck finding the end zone. While he didn’t put up big-time numbers from a fantasy perspective with 16.3 points against the Titans a couple of weeks ago, Rivers threw for 308 yards and a score-with his second touchdown of the night being overturned just inches short of the goal line. The Broncos are a tougher matchup than they appear to be on paper (middle-of-the-road in terms of fantasy points allowed), but Hill should only be better with a full game at quarterback under his belt. Hill is a weekly QB1 for as long as he remains the starter because of his rushing upside, so those upset about him losing eligibility at tight end should hold onto him anyway. Especially if the Falcons are able to keep up, Carr will again be an excellent streaming option as he operates one of the league’s most efficient passing attacks. For all your start/sit decisions, our weekly rankings are updated as needed through Sunday morning, or you can ask any question you have with Fantasy Consigliere.Īs expected, Las Vegas opened up the passing attack last week against the Chiefs, and that should continue on Sunday against an Atlanta defense allowing the most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.
