Weather Update: Giants vs. Packers

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.

Inside the Locker Room: After the Bye

WR Victor Cruz
On playing after the bye week…
“I’m kind of anxious to get back out on that field and play some football again. It feels like forever since we’ve been out there, so we’re excited about it. We know that we’re in a little bit of a funk, but it’s a brand new season, we feel like, and we just want to attack it head on.”

WR Hakeem Nicks
On Packers revenge for last season’s playoff loss…
“We’re not really focused on what they’re trying to do, we’re focused on what we got to do.”

Safety Kenny Phillips
On Giants chemistry in last year’s playoff run…
“We’re definitely trying to get back to that and hopefully it’ll show this week.”

Daily Blitz: Coughlin hopes for energetic week

It’s a six-week season, and the Giants have a one-game head start. That’s how the Giants are looking at it. And with that final stretch set to begin this Sunday night against the Green Bay Packers, Tom Coughlin joined Mike Francesa yesterday on WFAN on the players’ day off and assessed the state of his team.

“I think what we’ve done is we’re trying now to get ourselves ready to go for this very important stretch right here, down the home stretch we go,” Coughlin said. “We’re 6-4, we lead the division by one game, we have very difficult games week in and week out, and we know that we’re going to have to be at our very, very best. We have not been for a couple ball games. We gave some huge plays with our coverage teams, kind of anemic on offense, didn’t stop the run. The following week we go into a game where we’re plus-14 and the opponent, the Bengals, are minus-5 and we come out of the game minus-3. So a lot of the principles we believe in, winning the physical battle, that type of thing, the turnover battle, we did not do most recently and we’ve got to get back on track with that.

“So that’s where we’re starting. We came back from the bye week and players were rested. We had a nice session [Monday] with talking about our self-scout, reviewing some of that information, some research information as well, and had a short but crisp practice to bring us back into the idea of getting started again. Now Wednesday we’ll have hopefully a very, very energetic start to our week.”

Week 12 Fantasy Football Primer

The 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.
