Start:

Derek Carr, LV, @ ATL

Derek Carr is an excellent quarterback. That is something that is a fact. What is also a fact is that he is the top streaming option of the week at the position as he will lead the Las Vegas Raiders over the lowly Atlanta Falcons.

Carr has been playing some of his best football in years and while the Falcons have shown some improvement in recent weeks, rolling Carr out there can only lead to some great success.

Tua Tagovailoa, MIA, @ NYJ

Week 11 was not the week for the rookie Tua Tagovailoa. He was benched for Ryan Fitzpatrick as his struggles continued vs. the Denver Broncos eventually leading to a loss. But what you can believe in is him bouncing back vs. the New York Jets.

The Jets are fresh off giving up over 350 yards to fellow rookie Justin Herbert, making it a good opportunity for Tagovailoa to get back on the good side of head coach Brian Flores and fantasy owners.

Sit:

Lamar Jackson, BAL, @ PIT (Thu.)

Sit Lamar Jackson. Do not look at him, consider him, any of that.

A matchup against the undefeated Pittsburgh Steelers has not been kind to anyone, not even the reigning MVP this season. It was in that game earlier this season where he threw his only two-interception game of the year and now that they are in Pittsburgh in primetime on Thanksgiving, something tells us it won’t be too pretty. There are far better streaming options out there.

Ryan Tannehill, TEN, @ IND

Ryan Tannehill has been one of the better stories over the last two seasons in the NFL and fantasy football. It’s been awesome to see his rebound from his seasons with the Miami Dolphins to be the top guy for the Tennessee Titans, but that doesn’t mean he is a must-start every week.

Instead, sit him down vs. the Indianapolis Colts who remain one of the fiercest defenses in football.
