Last Week and Season-Long Record of Start/Sit

Week 12 QB Starts: Marcus Mariota, Matt Ryan and Andy Dalton -Mariota busted, Ryan fell short but Dalton finished with over 19 fantasy points. Result: 1/3

Week 12 QB Sits: Derek Carr – He had himself a pretty good real-life game but in fantasy, he finished with less than 16 points. Result: 1/1

Week 12 RB Starts: Orleans Darkwa – I can’t tell you why but the Giants gave Darkwa his fewest amount of carries since Week 7. He’s a guy who needs volume to succeed and he simply didn’t get it this game. Result: 0/1

Week 12 RB Sits: Joe Mixon and Doug Martin – I feel like once a week there’s a player I suggest to bench and then he goes off for his best game of the entire season. In Week 12, that guy was Joe Mixon. Result: 1/2

Week 12 WR Starts: Mohamed Sanu, Corey Davis and Kenny Stills – Sanu finished in the top-ten but both Davis and Stills didn’t get it done. Result: 1/3

Week 12 WR Sits: Jordy Nelson and Amari Cooper – Nelson keeps disappointing due to the quarterback situation and despite the touchdown, Cooper finished with just 7.9 PPR points. Result: 2/2

Week 12 TE Starts: Greg Olsen – He left the game early with an injury and only scored 2 PPR points. Result: 0/1

Week 12 TE Sits: Cameron Brate – He finished with less points than Olsen. Result: 1/1

Week 12 D/ST Starts: Cincinnati Bengals and New England Patriots – The Bengals didn’t do squat but the Patriots tied for the best fantasy D/ST last week. Result: 1/2

Week 12 D/ST Sits: Los Angeles Rams – The defense held Drew Brees in check for the most part but it didn’t translate to much fantasy success. Result: 1/1

Week 12 results: 9 / 17 = 53 percent

Season-long results: 146 / 258 = 57 percent
