Fantasy Football Preview: Week 12

The views expressed in this article are not of the New York Football Giants but those of an independent Fantasy Expert.

Ryan Fitzpatrick QB Bills

Last Week: 168 passing yards, no scores

Fitzpatrick is a hit or miss play each week.  Through 10 games, Buffalo’s starting quarterback has gone four times without throwing a single touchdown while only throwing for 300 yards once (Week 10).  With a favorable matchup this week against the Colts’ 20^th-ranked pass defense in a must-win game for the 4-6 Bills and 6-4 Colts, this could very well be a shootout.

Ronnie Hillman RB Broncos

Last Week: 43 yards rushing

Hillman had 12 carries for 43 rushing yards last Sunday vs. San Diego, while McGahee was injured and is now out for the season being put on injured reserved.  Facing the 25^th-ranked pass rush defense in the Kansas City Chiefs (giving up an average of 129 yards per game), Hillman should reap the benefits in Week 12.

Jalen Parmele RB Jaguars

Last Week: 80 rushing yards

Parmele was one of the hottest commodities this past week in waiver-wire pickups while former starter Rashard Jennings failed to produce. The Titans and their 28^th-ranked rush defense (allowing 128 yards per contest) as well as their 26th ranked pass defense (266 yards) look to be favorable for everyone on offense in Jacksonville, especially Parmele.
