Start/Sit Hub – Week 12

Happy Friday fantasy followers and welcome back to my weekly Start/Sit HUB! I hope you had a great Thanksgiving and have an even better week 12. Mike Hubbard Jr here, providing you with information that can help you win your fantasy league week in and week out. For all things fantasy football, follow me on Twitter (@FantasyHubbard) and Instagram (@fantasyhubbard). You can tweet me or message me on either social media with any questions you might have regarding the fantasy football season.

Fantasy playoffs are within reach and hopefully you’ll be in them. No matter how your team is doing, I hope you’re enjoying the experience and continue to fight for wins. Stay informed and play smart.

Week 12 began yesterday with a feast of 3 Thanksgiving games. Andy Dalton and the Bears escaped a winless Lions team with a last second field goal. Derek Carr and the Raiders went into Dallas, never trailed, withstood a Dallas comeback, and won on a field goal in OT. Finally, the Bills reestablished their dominance in a blowout win against the Saints. All 3 road teams won.

Week 12 BYEs go to the Kansas City Chiefs and the Arizona Cardinals who both are leading their divisions and have a combined record of 16-6. Remember to check your lineups and manage accordingly. The matchups I look forward to watching the most this Sunday are the Buccaneers/Colts game and the Rams/Packers game.

I’m here every Friday with start and sit suggestions that can impact your team each week. My decisions as always include obvious and not so obvious picks. I would also like to clarify that my sit suggestions are based on the assumption you have or can add a player that has a better chance at success. Good luck this week and continue to check out my weekly articles.

Eagles @ Giants

Start – Jalen Hurts – Jalen Hurts and the Eagles had a great week 11 scoring 40 points taking down the Saints. Hurts had a 72.7 QBR, no passing TDs, failed to hit 150 passing yards, yet still finished top 3 in fantasy QBs. He ran for 69 yards and scored 3 rushing TDs. This is the 3^rd time Hurts has recorded multiple rushing TDs in a game this season. Hurts can hurt defenses in multiple ways, and he is only getting better. He gets the Giants this week who don’t scare anyone. Hurts should dominate this game and get a 3^rd consecutive win, but this season you just never know. I’m firing up Jalen with confidence and expecting top 5 fantasy QB results.
