More Week 12

Editor's Note: Welcome to Week 12! We are dealing with the column Start & Em & Sit & # 39; Em from Jamey Eisenberg a little differently this season. You always get the same in-depth analysis as you always do, we just present a little differently, in order to get it to you earlier in the day. This article takes a lot of time to write and in the past we usually sent it to you at night. This year, we will publish it position by position to put it quickly in your hands. Here is Jamey's point of view on the halves for this week.

Do not worry: if you want the classic Start & Em & Sit & # 39; Em, we'll publish it anyway at the end of the day, with each post included. For the moment, here is the turning back.

The projections are provided by CBS Sports and not by Jamey Eisenberg. The projected points concern PPR leagues.

Running backs

Sleepers

• Jalen Richard (in the BAL): Doug Martin (ankle) is expected to play this week, but Richard will still have plenty of play time. And it's a great PPR flex option. He has scored at least 10 PPR points in all but three games this season. He could also be more involved in the passing game now that Brandon LaFell (Achilles) is out and Jordy Nelson (knee) is injured. The Raiders are probably looking for points on the road, so Richard should be considered the best running back for Oakland.
• Theo Riddick (vs. CHI): Riddick will have extra work this week against the Bears with Kerryon Johnson (knee), and he's a great flex option in RPP. He is essentially a receiver for the last three games since Golden Tate was traded to Philadelphia, and he caught 18 catches for 126 yards on 22 targets over that period. It's not an easy match against the Bears, but he had six catches for 60 yards on seven targets in Chicago in week ten. A similar performance could occur on Thanksgiving Day.
• Peyton Barber (vs. SF): Barber enjoyed a great game against the Giants last week with 18 runs for 106 yards and one touchdown, as well as two catches for 4 yards. It's worth being used as a flex option against the 49ers. . His three best games this year came with Jameis Winston on the field (Week 6 vs. Atlanta, Week 8 vs. Cincinnati and last week), and we hope it will continue against the 49ers.
• Elijah McGuire (vs. NE): McGuire succeeded Bilal Powell (neck), injured. He could play a leading role in the passing game this week against the Patriots. In two games, McGuire had 64 yards on 11 goals, or 64 yards, and averaged 4.6 yards per run. New England has had difficulty with half-offensives this year and I like McGuire as a flexible PPR option.
• Duke Johnson (at CIN): In two games since Freddie Kitchens was named offensive coordinator, Johnson has earned at least 14 PPR points each time. He has four passes for 23 yards, 13 passes for 109 yards and three touchdowns during that period. He has also netted at least four catches in four of his last five games and it's worth starting in PPR this week against the Bengals, who award the most Fantasy points to the opposing sides. Nick Chubb, in case you do not know, is a must-have option in all leagues this week.
