Fantasy Football Week 12 QB Stat Projections: Drew Brees Could Assault Cowboys

Fantasy football is full of tiny weekly battles that will help you win the eventual war.

The following projections are to help you win those battles.

QB | RB | WR | TE 

These numbers are based on a number of factors, each of which is inspected before any projection is made.

The most common usage for these projections is in deciding who to start and who to sit from week-to-week; they can also be used if you're in need of a bye-week replacement or a spot-starter in a given week.

These projections do not take into account the future beyond this season, so they should not be used for dynasty leagues.

The scoring system for these projections may vary from your league's, so please inspect not only the "points" category, but also how the points are accumulated and how the scoring may vary from yours.

The scoring system for these projections is:

• one point per 25 yards passing
• four points per passing touchdown
• minus-two points per passing interception
• one point per 10 yards rushing
• six points per rushing touchdown
• half-point per reception
• one point per 10 yards receiving
• six points per receiving touchdown
