The Fantasy Football playoffs are almost upon us and there are a lot of guys on both Indianapolis and Houston on many championship-aspiring teams. Let’s take a look at who to start and sit in week 12.

Fantasy football playoffs are inching nearer, so let’s jump right into who you should play and who should you bench in the Colts/Texans game on Thursday night.

The AFC South is as follows:

  1. Indianapolis – 6-4
  2. Houston – 6-4
  3. Tennessee – 5-5
  4. Jacksonville – 4-6

In a weirdly weak AFC, there could be two of these four teams to make the playoffs. The division winner could be any of them, but from an eye test alone, the Texans and Colts are the two best teams. The Colts defense is starting to form into what it was last year after a season full of injuries and the Texans are coming off a trampling from the Ravens.

This Thursday is especially crazy on the fantasy football aspect of things.

Marlon Mack broke his hand in week 11 and the guy to take the backfield was someone named Jonathan Williams. Despite the generic name, Williams was extremely efficient after Mack left and could be in for a decent workload. On the other squad for Thursday night, the Texans have a lot of guys on their team who our fringe fantasy starters.

With all that being said, let’s get into it.
