Fantasy Football Start em, Sit em Lineup Advice: Week 12
Last week, Mike Williams only played 32% of the snaps and didn’t draw a target. I need a prove-it game from Williams before I’m willing to stick him in a flex spot in a lineup. It has been a tough season for Williams, who has only eclipsed 40 receiving yards in a game once this season.
Njoku has been the TE7 in fantasy points per game, with Winston slinging the rock. He has had a 17.2% target share with 1.47 YPRR and a 14.3% first-read share. He hasn’t seen a red zone or end zone target with Winston as the starter. It’s worth considering streaming options this week over Njoku. The Steelers have allowed the 14th-fewest fantasy points per game and the ninth-fewest yards per reception to tight ends.
Freiermuth has disappointed this season as the TE21 in fantasy points per game. He has only three TE1 finishes this season. He has only two red zone targets since Russell Wilson has had the starting job. Since Week 7, he has had only a 7.4% target share, 1.11 YPRR, and an 8.5% first-read share. Cleveland is 16th in receiving yards per game and yards per reception allowed to tight ends. Freiermuth is droppable.
