Lions QB Jared Goff faces the New York Giants in Week 12. / Junfu Han / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
Welcome to Week 12!
The NFL schedule goes back to a four-team bye week, as the Chargers, Commanders, Broncos, and Dolphins are off. That leaves us without Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, Marcus Mariota, and Tua Tagovailoa, and at least three of them are viable weekly starters.
There are longer any International Games left on the schedule, so the Sunday slate starts at 1pm ET with seven games. There are four games in the 4pm ET window, followed of course by the usual Sunday night and Monday night contests to end the weekend’s action.
This week’s quarterback ranking risers include Jared Goff, Brock Purdy, and Sam Darnold, all of whom have great matchups next on the schedule. On the flip side, quarterbacks like Baker Mayfield, Daniel Jones, and Joe Flacco could struggle versus tougher foes.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football quarterback rankings for Week 12 of the NFL season.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
