Normally when there are no byes, our rankings are loaded, but that's not nece sarily the case with our Week 12 fantasy QB rankings. Sure, almost all of the the big names are there (save Drew Brees), but some tough matchups for other star quarterbacks (Kyler Murray, Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Ben Roethlisberger, Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers) could still cause plenty of start 'em, sit 'em headaches on Thursday and Sunday. (Update: Jackson has been ruled out this week after testing positive for COVID.)Most, if not all, of the above QBs will still be started in most leagues, but borderline QBs Cam Newton (vs. Cardinals), Ryan Tannehill (@ Colts), and Jared Goff (vs. 49ers) are probably best suited for your benches. Roethlisberger (vs. Ravens) is also risky, but he's established a high floor and had two TDs against the Ravens in their first meeting this year, so he's not completely off-limits. However, you can probably find a QB with more upside.WEEK 12 STANDARD RANKINGS Allen Craig Jersey : | | | | Among those borderline starters who are elevated by their matchups, Carson Wentz (vs. Seahawks), Derek Carr (vs. Falcons), Matthew Stafford (vs. Texans), and Teddy Bridgewater (@ Vikings) all have high floors and ceilings (a suming they're all healthy), and whoever starts betweenTua Tagovailoaand Ryan Fitzpatrick(@ Jets) is also in play.Going a little deeper, Taysom Hill (@ Broncos), Baker Mayfield (@ Jaguars), Philip Rivers (vs. Titans), Alex Smith (@ Cowboys), and Daniel Jones (@ Bengals) are also considerations this week, but, again, with no byes, you're likely not trusting them over any of the more consistent starters mentioned in the opening paragraph.WEEK 12 PPR RANKINGS: | | | | Hill is a special case because of his high rushing floor, but there are still reasons to worry about his pa sing and whether he'll remain at quarterback all game. That would also be true of whoever starts for the Dolphins and Panthers.WEEK 12 DFS TOURNAMENT LINEUPS: | Ultimately, your decision on who to start at QB this week could come down to where you are in the standings and what the rest of your matchup looks like. You might have to take a chance with a potential big scorer if your projections are lacking at other positions, and if that's the case, someone like Roethlisberger or even Rodgers (vs. Bears) or Jackson (@ Steelers) might not be the best play. We're at the point in the season where you might have to take some chances in order to make the playoffs Brad Hand Jersey (or play it safe in order to hold your playoff positioning).WEEK 12 DFS CASH LINEUPS: | Note: Check back throughout the week, as we'll continue to update our QB rankings up until kickoff based on the latest news and injury updates.MORE WEEK 12 DFS: | | Week 12 Fantasy QB RankingsThese rankings are for four-point pa sing TD leagues. WEEK 12 FANTASY: | |Rank Player 1Ru sell Wilson, SEA @ PHI2Josh Allen, BUF vs. LAC3Kyler Murray, ARI @ NE4Patrick Mahomes, KC @ TB5Deshaun Watson, HOU @ DET6Justin Herbert, LAC @ BUF7Matt Ryan, ATL vs. LV8Derek Carr, LV vs. ATL.Carr has been up and down this year, but Atlanta allows the second-most fantasy points per game (FPPG), so this feels like a high-floor game. As he showed last week, he can also have Dave Winfield Jersey a high ceiling.9Matthew Stafford, DET vs. HOU. Stafford was a ma sive disappointment against Carolina last week, but Houston has allowed 19 touchdown pa ses and just two INTs while recording a mediocre 21 sacks. Stafford will have more time to find open receivers against this burnable secondary, and if Kenny Golladay (hip) returns, he'll have another big playmaker to throw to in the red zone. Remember, in Week 10, Stafford picked apart Washington's top-ranked pa s defense for 276 yards and three TDs, so he could easily have a bounce-back performance at home.10Tom Brady, TB vs. KC.The mere fact that Derek Carr has solved the Chiefs stellar pa s defense twice this year (622 yards, Johnny Manziel Jersey six TDs) should give us confidence that Brady and his ultra-talented group of receivers can wreak some havoc against Kansas City, too.11Aaron Rodgers, GB vs. CHI.Rodgers just sliced up Indy's top-five pa s defense for 311 yards and three TDs, so he can put up numbers against anyone (as Bears fans know all too well). Still, this is another brutal matchup, and as good as Rodgers has been this year, a 250-yard, two-TD, one-INT outing seems likely in the near future. This is the most likely matchup for that to happen, so while we'd still start Rodgers, we don't feel quite as good about him as we do most weeks.12Carson Wentz, PHI vs. SEA.We get it -- Wentz is tough to watch -- but even last week in a steady rain, he posted a decent-enough fantasy day (235 pa sing yards, two TDs, 10 rushing yards). Yes, that came with two turnovers, but Wentz has more often than not still put up respectable fantasy numbers this year (at least two TDs in all but two games). Seattle allows the most FPPG to QBs, so Wentz is in good position to post solid stats again -- just don't torture yourself by watching the game if you're going to start Wentz.13Teddy Bridgewater, CAR @ MIN.Bridgewater mi sed last week because of a knee injury, but it looked like he was going to play right up until the official inactive list was announced. Either way, we're expecting him back this week in a favorable matchup against a Vikings defense allowing the seventh-most pa sing yards. Bridgewater has a trio of solid wide receivers and good receiving backs, so he won't have to do a lot to have solid stats.14Ben Roethlisberger, PIT vs. BAL.Roethlisberger has established himself as a hig-floor, relatively low-ceiling QB this year, throwing for at least two touchdowns in all but one game this year. The Steelers offense has opened up more in the past three games, with Roethlisberger throwing for 906 yards and nine TDs, but favorable matchups against the Cowboys, Bengals, and Jaguars have helped. Baltimore limited Roethlisberger to 182 yards and two TDs in Week 8, and while it seems likely Roethlisberger will have more yards this week, a Rollie Fingers Jersey significantly better stat line seems unlikely. Roethlisberger is a "safe" starter, but if you think you'll need a lot of points from your QB, Roethlisberger isn't the choice.15Ryan Fitzpatrick, MIA @ NYJ.The Jets entered Week 11 allowing the fifth-most FPPG to QBs, then proceeded
