The Week 12 Fantasy Football Start/Sit with Advanced Stats was curated by Senior Staff Nerd Steven Pintado using statistics from the Fantasy Points Data Suite. Whether you’re setting lineups for redraft, dynasty, or DFS, these stats highlight usage trends and defensive tendencies that go beyond the 2025 box score—giving you the inside info you need to win in Week 12!
Below in each dropdown are the full Week 12 Team Stats powered by Fantasy Points Data Suite. Use these metrics to make informed Start/Sit decisions, place prop bets, or make DFS lineup calls.
Josh Allen – The Bills QBs could have a down game against the Texans, who allow the 2nd-lowest ADJ Comp% (70%). Seven percent lower than Allen’s current percentage.
Woody Marks – The rookie running back should get things going this week against the Bills, who allow the 4th-highest Exp Run % (runs of 15+) at 7.4%.
Colts WRs – The Colts receivers have done well in recent weeks, but that may stop in Week 12 as they face the Chiefs, who have allowed just 1 receiver over the last 6 games to get over 70 yards.
Kareem Hunt – the veteran running back could find the endzone against the Colts, who have given up a touchdown to an RB in 3 straight games.

** Pacheco has a chance to play – if he does then both running backs are RB3s (Hunt TD or bust)
Mason Taylor – The young TE could continue to give mediocre numbers without much upside, as the Ravens have kept TEs to low yardage and just 1 touchdown since Week 2.
Derrick Henry – While on a FPPG basis, Henry looks great, but the Jets do allow the 3rd-fewest YBCO at 1.37. It may not matter for Henry’s talent.

** may not play but there is no good second option.
Titans WRs – This young receiver group will likely struggle to make an impact as they face the Seahawks, who run the 6th-most zone coverage, and none of the receivers have a good rate of separation against zone coverage.
Ken Walker: Walker could follow up week 12 with another great game against the Titans, who allow the 4th most YBCO at 2.22, and Walker has done well in that stat this year.

Minnesota Vikings (4-6) @ Green Bay Packers (6-3-1)
JJ McCarthey: The 2nd year QB could struggle against the Packers, who allow the lowest 1st Read % at 58.7%. McCarthy ranks in the top 10 among quarterbacks.
Luke Musgrave: Musgrave may not be the TE1 in Green Bay as we assumed, as he played only 35% of the snaps & ran only 10 routes in Week 11.

** Seems unlikely Jacobs will play but nothing has been confirmed as of Wednesday.
Jared Goff: The Lions QB should do well this week against a Giants team that runs the most Man Coverage in the league. Goff has the 4th-highest QB rating against Man Coverage.
Tyrone Tracy: Look to stay away from Tracy as he faces the Lions defense, which allows the 4th-fewest Exp Run%. He is losing the goal line work.
Jalen Hurts – The Eagles QBs could have an uptick in the passing game against the Cowboys, who allow the 3rd-Highest ADJ Comp% (80.5%). 5 percent higher than Hurts’ current percentage.
Jake Ferguson – The Eagles have allowed one TE over 40 yards in their last 8 games, and Ferguson has struggled with CeeDee Lamb back on the return.
Ricky Pearsall – The 49ers receiver could finally be back to making an impact as he faces the Panthers defense, who run the 3rd most zone coverage, and Pearsall ranks 4th in win rate separation.
Bryce Young – the 49ers have allowed 2 or more touchdowns to opposing QBs in 6 of their last 7 games.

FAQ | Week 12 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advanced Stats
Q1: Which quarterback has the best ADOT profile for Week 12 Start/Sit decisions?
A: If you’re looking for downfield passing upside in Week 12, focus on quarterbacks with strong ADOT (Average Depth of Target). ADOT measures how far the ball travels in the air on a QB’s average throw. Steven Pintado lists the ADOT for every quarterback in each matchup in this Week 12 guide, so you can quickly compare deep-shot volume before locking in your starter.
Q2: How can I use YAC% to spot sneaky wide receiver starts for Week 12?
A:YAC% (Yards After Catch Percentage) shows how often a wideout creates yards on their own — crucial for choosing upside plays in Week 12. Receivers with high YAC% can outperform even in tough matchups. This article includes the YAC% for every WR in every Week 12 game, helping you identify which players are most likely to turn short throws into big gains.
Q3: What advanced stats help identify the best Week 12 running back starts?
A: For Week 12 RB Start/Sit calls, prioritize i20% (Inside 20 Rushing Share), YACO/ATT (Yards After Contact), and Explosive Run Rate (EXP Run %). These reveal goal-line usage, power, and big-play potential. Steven includes all of these RB stats directly under each matchup so you can easily see which backs have the best Week 12 fantasy profiles.
Q4: How do defensive coverage tendencies impact Start/Sit decisions for Week 12?
A: Week 12 matchups vary widely by scheme — some defenses run heavy man coverage, others rely on zone. WRs with strong Man Win Rate or Zone Win Rate get big boosts depending on opponent tendencies. Each Week 12 game in this article lists the coverage percentages (2-Man, Zone, 1-High, 2-High) so you can start receivers who fit the matchup and sit those who don’t.
Q5: Which quarterbacks are the safest Week 12 starts based on pressure splits?
A: When choosing Week 12 quarterbacks, look at pressure splits — how QBs perform when blitzed or pressured vs clean pockets. Steven’s Week 12 tables include QB Rate vs Man, Zone, 2-High, 1-High, plus advanced accuracy metrics like ADJ Comp% (Adjusted Completion Percentage). These help you find QBs who won’t collapse under pressure and are safe to start this week.
Q6: How can TPRR help identify wide receivers to start in Week 12?
A:TPRR (Targets Per Route Run) is one of the most predictive WR stats in fantasy. A high TPRR means a player earns targets whenever he’s on the field — ideal for Week 12 flex calls. Every WR section in this guide includes TPRR and TGT%, so you can quickly see which players stay involved even when the offense shifts game scripts.
