What are five bold fantasy football predictions for Week 12 of the NFL season? Let’s run down the best of this weekend.

These fantasy football predictions are based on a 10-team, PPR league perspective. Most of the time, the assertions will apply to all aspects of fantasy football. If some sleepers are honorably mentioned, don’t be upset that the player is considered a sleeper when he may be the best option you have to plug-and-play.

For full disclosure, let’s hold ourselves accountable for last week:

  1. Michael Thomas breaks out. Correct. Thomas had a big day with Taysom Hill in charge, although a touchdown would have been nice.
  2. Todd Gurley held under 12 PPR points. Correct. Gurley tallied just under four PPR points.
  3. Ben Roethlisberger builds on his Week 10 performance. Correct, sort of. Roethlisberger had two touchdown passes and north of 250 yards.
  4. Aaron Rodgers slows down, a bit. Incorrect. The Packers lost but Rodgers was the league’s seventh-best fantasy quarterback in Week 11.
  5. D’Andre Swift continues his ascension. n/a. Swift was abruptly held out of Week 11 because of a concussion.

On to Week 12. Here are five relatively brazen predictions that are associated with Week 10 only. Not all of these projections will be accurate all of the time. Fantasy football dealings are topsy-turvy. Overall, though, let this season-long series serve as a pocketbook to your fantasy strategy.
