Fantasy football regular seasons are likely coming to an end and it’s time to gear up for playoff season. Who should you start and who should you sit in week 12?

Some fantasy football leagues might have the playoffs starting as early as this week, but if not, they’re likely beginning once the calendar turns to December. This season sure has flown by and hopefully your team is in a position to do some damage.

As usual, let’s take a look at my good advice and my bad advice from a week ago.

GOOD ADVICE: STARTING LARRY FITZGERALD AND SITTING DEMARYIUS THOMAS

Larry Fitzgerald tore apart the Raiders last week, putting up 16.3 points in ESPN leagues. It was nice to finally see Larry the Legend post a solid game for fantasy owners. Sitting Demaryius Thomas was also wise, as he had a whopping zero points for the Texans.

BAD ADVICE: STARTING CAROLINA DEFENSE/SPECIAL TEAMS AND SITTING ADRIAN PETERSON

The Panthers defense was not a good option in week 11, as they managed just a point against the Lions. Meanwhile, Adrian Peterson scored two touchdowns against the Texans, so I hope you didn’t listen to me when I advised benching him last week.
