Fantasy Football 2019: Thursday Night Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Week 12
By Gage Stagner
START ‘EM FOR WEEK 12
DukeJohnson, RB, Houston Texans
Indianapolis is fifth against the run this year, meaning the Texans should pass the heck out of the ball on Thursday. While Carlos Hyde has been exceptional this year, this should be Duke Johnson’s type of game. He is the unquestioned pass-catcher out of the backfield and the Texans should need to put up points. He’s a good flex play above Hyde in this one.
WillFuller, WR, Houston Texans
This is assuming Will Fuller suits up on Thursday night. You’ll need to be very careful considering he’s a gametime call. He has been extremely effective when suiting up this year as he gains the benefits while DeAndre Hopkins gets all the attention.
Also, Fuller is bound for one or two huge chunk plays and usually one results in a touchdown. Hopkins has been the possession guy this year and Fuller actually has the higher ceiling of the two. The Texans need him to suit up.
Jacoby Brissett, QB, Indianapolis Colts
Jacoby Brissett didn’t need to throw much last week, but they will try and keep the foot on the gas against Houston. With Mack out, Brissett is going to sling it around the yard and if T.Y. Hilton ends up playing, that raised Brissett’s ceiling and floor much more. He should be a QB1 in week 12.
