Fantasy Football Week 12: Vincent Jackson of Chargers Worthless, Among Fallers

Vincent Jackson finally made his 2010 debut, only to be injured in the first quarter of play. Jackson is just one of the many injured fantasy stars to be placed on the shelf after Week 12.

Could Brandon Jackson's ineffective and inconsistent running lead Packers head coach Mike McCarthy to look elsewhere for a running back?

Who else is sinking to the bottom of the barrel?

Which players could cost their fantasy owners a shot at the playoffs?

Hill has been a quality fantasy quarterback for the most part this season. Unfortunately, his season is in jeopardy with a broken index finger.

Drew Stanton would fill in for Hill and serve as a considerable downgrade for the other Lions skill players. It’s a shame for Hill, who was enjoying a nice season as a backup to the injured Matthew Stafford.

The inconsistent Packers rushing attack continues to hold the Green Bay Packers offense back. Jackson is perhaps the main reason for this inconsistency. He has been unable to make plays for himself.

Jackson had a terrible outing against the Atlanta Falcons, totaling 36 yards on 13 touches. Head coach Mike McCarthy could be looking to add another running back to the mix, perhaps James Starks.

Miller has been battling injuries over the past few weeks. He suffered a fractured fibula in Week 12 against the Miami Dolphins. The Raiders have yet to determine Miller’s availability.

Miller is a tough player, and with Oakland's playoff hopes sinking, he may want to gut it out. Don’t be fooled though; keep him on your fantasy bench.

Vincent Jackson finally showed up to play 12 weeks into the NFL season.

Unfortunately for the owners that stashed him away, Jackson was worthless. He did nothing against the Colts and, even worse, injured both of his calves in the first half of play.

Jackson will miss at least two weeks.

A worthless draft pick and waiver wire stash.
