Week 12 Fantasy Football Primer
Posted by on November 20, 2012 – 10:13 amThe views expressed in this article are not of the New York Football Giants but those of an independent Fantasy Expert.
Top Waiver-Wire Adds
RB Jalen Parmele, Jaguars
Last Week: 80 rush yards, TD
Parmele burst onto the fantasy scene this week. When his number was called, he contributed in a way former starter Rashad Jennings failed to do in five games (never gaining more than 60 yards and only one touchdown). With a rocky Tennessee Titans defense up next, Parmele could be at it again.
QB Colin Kaepernick, 49ers
Last week: 243 yards, 2 TD
Alex Smith is getting healthier as we speak, at least he better hope so. With Kaepernick’s near-flawless game against one of the toughest defenses in the league in the Chicago Bears, there may be a controversy brewing in the Bay Area.
WR Danario Alexander, Rams
Last Week: 96 yards, 2 TD
Alexander has more than proven his worth for any fantasy roster. Compiling for more than 290 yards in his last three games with three touchdowns and 15 receptions, he looks to be Bradford’s new favorite go-to target in St. Louis. As the Ravens possibly come into town without Ed Reed and an already banged up Baltimore secondary, Bradford and Alexander will try to take full advantage.
