Week 12 is here and before you know it the fantasy playoffs will be underway. The next three weeks are the most crucial in fantasy football for most leagues.

Players are constantly finding themselves in new roles (and succeeding) thanks to injuries and bye weeks. A big addition now could be the difference between a trip to the consolation bracket or the fantasy football championship playoffs.

This article will focus on players who are available in at least 50% of Yahoo leagues, as well as some deep sleepers who are listed in less than 20% of leagues. Without further ado, here are the best Week 12 fantasy football streaming options at each position.

Week 12 Quarterback Streaming Options

Jacoby Brissett, Arizona Cardinals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (51% on list)

I know Jacoby Brissett technical does not meet the criteria mentioned above. But he’s still way too available in fantasy considering what he’s done over the last month of the NFL season.

Brissett set the NFL record for completions in the Week 11 loss to the San Francisco 49ers without Marvin Harrison Jr. on the field, completing 47 of 57 pass attempts for 452 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. Brissett finished as QB4 for the week with 23.9 fantasy points scored.

Since Week 6, Brissett is the QB4 in fantasy points per game (21.9) and finishes as a top 12 quarterback in fantasy scoring each week. He has achieved four top 10 finishes in that time.

The Arizona Cardinals have had no problem letting the veteran quarterback air the ball during his time as a starter. Brissett is averaging 42.4 attempts per game in his five starts, including three games with 44 or more attempts. He has an average completion percentage of 67%, 314.0 passing yards and also two touchdowns per game.

His Week 12 opponent, the Jacksonville Jaguars, is having an excellent game against the Chargers, but this is still a flawed group. Jacksonville is allowing the fifth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season (19.4). They have scored at least 29 points in four of their last six games. Brissett is a very solid starter this week.

Deep Sleeper: Tyrod Taylor, New York Jets at Baltimore Ravens (2% selected)

The New York Jets turn the offense over to veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor to hopefully create some momentum in the passing attack. This is certainly not a good passing offense (especially with Garrett Wilson on injured reserve), but there is hope that Taylor can at least find some success pushing the ball down the field.

Taylor played in three games (one start) this season and completed 62.3% of his 69 pass attempts for 379 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions. More importantly (for fantasy), he has averaged 4.7 carries and 26.7 rushing yards per game this year.

The Ravens defense has found its footing in recent weeks, so this is far from an ideal matchup. But Taylor does provide some rush and has at least shown that he can get the ball to the Jets’ pass catchers in time.

Honorable Mention: Bryce Young, Carolina Panthers at San Francisco 49ers (18% selected)

Bryce Young is having perhaps his best game as a professional quarterback, completing 68.9% of his passes for 448 yards and three touchdowns against a quality Atlanta Falcons defense in Week 11. It was Young’s first game since Week 6 with multiple touchdown passes and his first game since Week 7 without an interception.

More importantly, it was the best Young has played under center since the end of the 2024 season, where it seemed like he was finding his footing as an NFL quarterback. The veteran quarterback may finally trust his receiving weapons enough to play him down the field.

Young’s Week 12 opponent, the San Francisco 49ers, has been decimated this season by injuries along the defensive line and at linebacker. That should give Young the time he needs to operate in the pocket and push the ball back down the field.

Looking back at streaming options week 12

Bhayshul Tuten, Jacksonville Jaguars at Arizona Cardinals (38% selected)

Jacksonville Jaguars’ rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten had his most impressive game in Week 11, totaling 15 carries for 74 yards and a touchdown against the Los Angeles Chargers. Tuten had a season-high share (32.4%) despite an ankle injury that ended his day early.

The rookie was a steady contributor in the Jacksonville backfield, but Week 11 marked the first time he took over a significant role from Travis Etienne. Tuten outscored Etienne 15 to 11 in the first three quarters of the match before getting injured.

There were initial concerns that Tuten had suffered a high ankle sprain, but those were put to rest somewhat when the rookie running back attended a limited practice on Wednesday. The practice was just a walkthrough, so Tuten isn’t in the clear yet, but it was still a positive first step to be able to play in Week 12. Instead, Travis Etienne is the player who will only participate in the non-contact portion of practices due to a shoulder injury.

Tuten has the combination of speed and tackle-breaking ability to put together a big fantasy week with plenty of chances. When healthy, he’s firmly on the flex radar for fantasy managers looking to expand their lineups, and he has RB2 upside if Etienne is limited or absent.

Deep Sleeper: Justice Hill, Baltimore Ravens vs. New York Jets (5% on list)

Justice Hill missed the Week 11 game against Cleveland Brownd due to a toe injury. But the veteran running back completed a full practice on Wednesday, a strong indication that his absence will last just one week.

Hill has at least two goals in eight of the nine games played this season and has scored at least 7.0 PPR points in four games. The Jets aren’t a team that can necessarily pick up the pace of the Ravens, but a blowout win could lead to more touches for Hill in the second half of the game.

Honorable Mention: Tyjae Spears, Tennessee Titans vs. Seattle Seahawks (35% on list)

Tyjae Spears continues to play a consistent role in the Titans’ backfield. Since Week 6, Spears has averaged a 50.9% share, 6.0 carries, and 3.8 targets per game.

The results weren’t necessarily there for fantasy, but Spears continues to have a solid floor as a flex play in fantasy. Since Week 6, Spears has scored at least 7.0 PPR points in every game, including two double-digit performances.

The Seahawks aren’t an ideal fit for running backs, but Spears’ role in the passing game makes him attractive in a pinch.

Streaming Options for Wide Receivers Week 12

Kayshon Boutte, New England Patriots at Cincinnati Bengals (34% selected)

Kayshon Boutte missed the Patriots’ last two games due to a hamstring injury, but before that began to emerge as Drake Maye’s go-to downfield weapon. From weeks 5 through 8, Boutte caught 13 of 15 targets for 266 yards and four touchdowns.

The veteran receiver currently ranks third among all wide receivers in average target distance (17.1) and yards per reception (18.7). He also ranks first in yards per target (13.9) and fantasy points per target (3.1).

There is some danger in trusting that a player has suffered a hamstring injury, especially when that player is primarily used as a big threat. However, a matchup against the Bengals’ porous secondary is also too good to ignore.

Deep Sleeper: Greg Dortch, Arizona Cardinals vs. Jacksonville Jaguars (5% on list)

Greg Dortch had his best game of the season in the Arizona Cardinals’ loss to the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. Without Marvin Harrison Jr. on the field, Dortch had season highs in targets (six), receptions (six), receiving yards (66), touchdowns (one) and snap share (65.8%).

Harrison will also miss the Week 12 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars, giving Dortch another chance to make the most of an expanded role against an underpowered Jaguars secondary.

Tight End Week 12 Streaming Options

Colston Loveland, Chicago Bears vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (44%

Colston Loveland hasn’t reached the same heights in recent weeks as he did against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 9 (seven goals, six receptions, 118 yards and two touchdowns), but he has seen his role in Chicago’s offense expand into a fantasy-relevant tight end.

Since Week 9, Loveland is averaging a 68.5% share and 4.0 goals per game despite Cole Kmet returning from injury. During that time, Loveland has caught seven of eight targets for 95 yards.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are one of five teams allowing more than 10.0 fantasy points per game to tight ends this season. They have given up 63 receptions for 671 yards and six touchdowns for the position as a unit this year. In this good match, Loveland is playable even if you share time with Kmet.

Deep Sleeper: Terrance Ferguson, Los Angeles Rams vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (0% selected)

The Los Angeles Rams placed Tyler Higbee on injured reserve before Week 12, giving another of the Rams’ tight ends a chance to emerge as a viable threat in the passing attack. One player worth taking a chance on is 2025 second-round pick Terrance Ferguson.

Ferguson has seen more and more action in recent weeks, operating in the Rams’ 13 personnel packages (three tight ends including one running back) and catching five passes for 138 yards and a touchdown. The rookie from Oregon has the size and speed to be a matchup nightmare even in normal player packages.

There is a risk in trusting Ferguson, especially since he will still be competing against established veterans like Colby Parkinson and Davis Allen for playing time. But Ferguson has the most talent of that group and could easily have the most impactful game as a receiver. This is a very risky game, but it can bring great rewards.

Honorable mention: Ja’Tavion Sanders, Carolina Panthers at San Francisco 49ers (1% selected)

Ja’Tavion Sanders also qualifies as a deep sleeper this week, but his role is more secure than Terrance Ferguson’s, so he gets honorable mention billing.

Over the past two weeks, Sanders has caught all nine targets for 54 yards. Sanders has scored at least three goals in five of eight games played this season, including a season-high nine goals in Week 2.

The 49ers are extremely confused at linebacker right now, which will open up the middle of the field for the second-year tight end. At worst, he has developed into a player with solid weekly fundamentals working in short-to-intermediate areas.
