Fantasy Football: Phillip Rivers and the Must-Start Players for Week 12

In Week 11, there was many spectacular performances by some of the league's most exciting players. 

There were a handful of quarterbacks who threw for over 300 yards, like Peyton Manning, along with a few receivers who eclipsed 100 yards receiving while also grabbing at least a pair of touchdowns, such as Greg Jennings.  

Their was no lack in rushing attack this week, quite a few of RB's earning over 100 yards on the ground.

The following players were fantasy delights last week and will continue to produce big-time numbers in Week 12.

18/29, 275 Yards, 3 TD's, 0 INT, and a 127.8 QB Rating; 3 Rushes for 55 Yards and a TD

Week 11 Fantasy Points: 

Big Ben led the Pittsburgh Steelers to a very convincing victory over the Oakland Raiders, putting an end to their three game winning streak.  Roethlisberger produced a bunch of points for his fantasy owners by scoring four total touchdowns.  Against the weak Buffalo Bills defense, you can expect a similar performance.

Week 11 Stat's: 

21 Attempts for 116 Yards and 2 TD's; 3 Receptions for 13 Yards

Week 11 Fantasy Points: 

In Week 10 Fred Jackson had his first 100+ yard rushing game of the season, following up with yet another 100-yard performance this past Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals.  Jackson and the Bills will be taking on a very good Pittsburgh Steelers defense in Week 12, but expect his third straight 100-yard performance from this budding star.

Week 11 Stat's: 

22/31, 301 Yards, 4 TD's, and a 141.3 QB Rating

Week 11 Fantasy Points: 

Against the 24th overall ranked Atlanta Falcons passing defense, Aaron Rodgers will have another 30+ Fantasy point performance in Week 12.  Scoring three or more touchdowns and zero interceptions in the each of the last two weeks, Rodgers is playing like the best quarterback in the NFL.

Week 11 Fantasy Points: 24.92

In the last three games Phillip Rivers has scored 10 combined touchdowns while only throwing three interceptions.  In what will most likely be a very high scoring game against the Indianapolis Colts, Rivers should put up at least 25 fantasy points in Week 12.

Week 11 Stat's: 

6 Receptions, 109 Yards, 2 TD's

Week 11 Fantasy Points: 

In the last six weeks Dwayne Bowe has caught at least one interception.  He has proven to be a very productive and consistent fantasy player.  In Week 12 Dwayne Bowe and the Kansas City Chiefs will be taking on the 30th ranked passing defense of the Seattle Seahawks, giving up an average of 283.2 YPG.  You must start Bowe this week if you haven't been, because his touchdown streak is not ending anytime soon.

FOXBORO, MA - NOVEMBER 21: Peyton Manning #18 of the Indianapolis Colts celebrates a touchdown in the fourth quarter against the New England Patriots on November 21, 2010 at Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Massachusetts. The Patriots defeated the Colts 31-2

Week 11 Stat's:  

38/52 for 396 Yards, 4 TD's, 3 INT's, and a 96.3 QB Rating

Week 11 Fantasy Points: 

Peyton Manning didn't get the win against Tom Brady and the New England Patriots, but he did get more fantasy points than Brady.  Manning was a treat for his fantasy owners this past week being one of the top performers throughout the league.  Against the 1st overall passing defense of the San Diego Chargers he will be put to the test, but Peyton Manning will have another four touchdown performance, in what will be quite a high scoring contest.
