2012 Get ‘em or Don’t Sweat ‘em – Week 12

Nov 19, 2012

.
There were some unusual heroes this week. There always are. Let’s take a look at them and see if they are worthy of your fantasy rosters.
.
Chad Henne, QB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Henne threw for 354 yards and four touchdowns. I still don’t trust their offense.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Bryce Brown, RB, Philadelphia Eagles
Brown ran for 35 yards on five carries. LeSean McCoy was concussed so Brown could get the start this week.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Ronnie Hillman, RB, Denver Broncos
Hillman ran for 43 yards on 12 carries. He added two catches for 16 yards. He’s worth a grab if Willis McGahee misses any action.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Mark Ingram, RB, New Orleans Saints
The Saints have a muddy backfield, but Ingram is coming on as the primary back. He ran for 67 yards and a touchdown on 12 carries.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Jalen Parmele, RB, Jacksonville Jaguars
Parmele ran for 84 yards on 24 carries. Starting running backs should be on roster.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets
Powell ran for 42 yards and two touchdowns on 11 carries. He added two catches for 18 yards. He’s not a great option.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
James Starks, RB, Green Bay Packers
Starks carried the ball 25 times for 74 yards. He added a six-yard reception. He’s worth a roster spot because of his volume of touches.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Danario Alexander, WR, San Diego Chargers
Alexander caught seven of 11 targets for 96 yards and two touchdowns. He’s heating up and should be owned.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Davone Bess, WR, Miami Dolphins
Bess caught six of 11 targets for 50 yards and a touchdown. It was his first score of the year. He provides decent depth, especially in PPR leagues. He has the Patriots coming up in a few weeks. He always plays them well.
Ruling: Get ‘em (especially PPR leagues).
.
Justin Blackmon, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Blackmon caught seven of 13 targets for 236 yards and a touchdown. It’s hard not to add a guy after an explosion like that.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Julian Edelman, WR, New England Patriots
Edelman caught five of seven targets for 58 yards and a touchdown. He added a 47-yard run. He doesn’t do enough for a fantasy spot.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Brandon Gibson, WR, St. Louis Rams
Gibson caught three of five targets for nine yards and two touchdowns. He’s not a great option despite the pair of scores.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
T.Y. Hilton, WR, Indianapolis Colts
Hilton caught six of nine targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns. He didn’t catch a pass the previous week so consistency could be an issue. That’s two 100-yard games in three weeks though.
Ruling: Get ‘em
.
Brandon LaFell, WR, Carolina Panthers
LaFell caught five of seven targets for 93 yards and a touchdown. He’s coming on and should be rostered.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Mohamed Sanu, WR, Cincinnati Bengals
Sanu caught two of four targets for 22 yards and a touchdown. It was his second straight week scoring, but he is not producing enough for a fantasy spot.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Chaz Schilens, WR, New York Jets
Schilens caught four of five targets for 48 yards and a touchdown. I don’t trust the Jets’ passing game.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Dallas Clark, TE, Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Clark caught seven of 11 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown. He has three scores in the past five games. He’s a decent TE2.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Jermichael Finley, TE, Green Bay Packers
Finley caught all three of his targets for 66 yards and a touchdown. The bye week served him well.
Ruling: Get ‘em.
.
Garrett Graham, TE, Houston Texans
Graham caught eight of nine targets for 82 yards and two touchdowns. That is not the norm for Graham.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Tony Moeaki, TE, Kansas City Chiefs
Moeaki caught four of six targets for 73 yards. He had 68 yards last week, but is still a low-end option.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.
.
Benjamin Watson, TE, Cleveland Browns
Watson caught four of eight targets for 47 yards and a pair of touchdowns. It was only his second time topping 40 yards and he had one touchdown prior.
Ruling: Don’t Sweat ‘em.

Hey Lester,

I am currently rostering lackluster TEs in Pettigrew and Rudolph. You think dropping Pettigrew for D. Clark is a good move? I like how Clark is becoming more involved in the passing game. And I would like to see how Ponder and Rudolph look after thier bye before starting him again.

I would hang on to Pettigrew personally.

hey lester,
gronks down and now i only have dwayne allen for TE. would you start dallas clark over him?

I’d say it’s a coin flip. I’d probably go Allen over Clark against Buffalo. Assuming Fleener is still out.

T.Y. Hilton or mike Wallace week 12?

I like Wallace.

Gates or brandon myers? Gates doesn’t seem to get more than 3-4 catches a game while myers is coming on. There is also celek and finley in FA. 10 team league .5 ppr.

Last question – Danario Alexander or Cecil Shorts?

Personally I like gates and Cecil. ALl four are good options.

Should I start j. charles, r. hillman, reece, or dmc if he comes back? Need just one.

Charles.

Edelman passes Lloyd on the depth chart. With Brady as his QB and Gronk gone how can he not be a must add?
LestersLegends

Because it’s the Patriots. So hard to predict. Danny Woodhead didn’t have a touch last week. Watch, he’ll be super busy this week and Edelman will be left out.

Hey Lester, this question is more for next week but I just wanted your opinion. Do you think it’s worth picking up Pierre Garcon on waivers while dropping reggie bush? Bush just hasn’t been the same since his injury & the fins have some good running defenses coming up? Many Thanks!

I would say that isn’t a bad move. Garcon looked great.
