2011 Fantasy Football: Week 12 Sleepers
.
Sometimes you need a fantasy gem to be successful. Here is a list of LestersLegends’ under the radar players that could possibly pull out a win for you in Week 12.
.
Christian Ponder @ Atlana: Without Adrian Peterson the Vikings will have to take a different approach. That should mean more Percy Harvin and more Ponder. He ran for 71 yards last week and has definitely shown he’s comfortable making plays with his feet. If he can limit the bad decision he has a chance against a Falcons team that ranks 26th against the pass (254.1 ypg allowed). Matt Leinart @ Jacksonville is perhaps an even deeper sleeper, but they could ease him in with a run-heavy game plan.
.
Donald Brown vs. Carolina: The Panthers rank 30th against the run allowing 140.7 ypg. Donald Brown has been one of the few bright spots on the winless Colts this year. If Joseph Addai can’t go again and you’re in a bind, why not see what Brown can do for you. Joe McKnight vs. Buffalo has a good match-up as well if you’re desperate, assuming LT is out. C.J. Spiller @ New York Jets suddenly becomes a nice sleeper play with Fred Jackson out. Even if he doesn’t get it done running the ball, he should see a lot of looks in the passing game.
.
Early Doucet @ St. Louis isn’t a sexy pick, but he has at least 5.0 fantasy points in the past six games.
.
Scott Chandler @ New York Jets: The Bills are running out of healthy bodies. We know that he’s a good red zone target at 6’7″, but he should play a bigger role in the passing game as well.
.
St. Louis Rams DST and Arizona Cardinals DST: Neither are quality options most weeks, but they can be used in a pinch this week as they face each other’s feeble offense.
