Week 12 Fantasy Rankings: Tim Tebow and QBs Who Will Dominate Bad Defenses

Denver Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow has not impressed in the passing game this season, but he has performed well for fantasy football owners with his legs in the rushing game.

Tebow has a good matchup this week against a poor San Diego Chargers defense. Matchups are huge at this stage in the fantasy season, you cannot afford to play anybody, even a star, against an opponent they do not match up well against.

Let's look at three quarterbacks who will dominate in Week 12 of the NFL season.

Matt Ryan

Atlanta Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will have a brilliant game on Sunday versus a poor Minnesota Vikings defense.

The Vikings give up just under 260 yards passing per game, and do not have an elite corner to shut down Falcons wide receiver Roddy White.

Ryan has thrown for over 300 yards in each of the last two games, and could easily do it again on Sunday.

With the emergence of Harry Douglas becoming a reliable target, the injury struggles of rookie Julio Jones have not hurt Atlanta too much.

Expect Ryan to have a massive fantasy day in a big Falcons win in Week 12.

Tom Brady

New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady is always a great fantasy option, but against a Philadelphia Eagles secondary battling a lot of injuries, Brady could have his best passing game of the season.

Eagles cornerbacks Nnamdi Asomugha and Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie both are likely not to play this week, leaving Brady to go against a severely weakened secondary.

Eagles cornerback Asante Samuel might have to cover Wes Welker, which will allow Deion Branch to get open whenever he wants.

Philly also has no answer for tight end Rob Gronkowski, who has 10 touchdown catches already this season, which matches his total from last season.

Brady has too many weapons at his disposal, and against a banged up Eagles defense he will dominate this week through the air.

Tim Tebow

Tebow is 4-1 this season as the starting quarterback of the Denver Broncos, and is a smart fantasy start this week against the struggling San Diego Chargers.

Tebow has made fantasy owners happy with his effectiveness in the running game, and he will succeed against a Chargers defense allowing 124.4 rushing yards per game.

Tebow has carried the ball 40 times for 292 yards and two touchdowns in his last four games, and his ability to run really causes problems for opposing defenses.

The Chargers pass defense has allowed an NFL worst 19 touchdown passes this season, so there is a strong chance Tebow could be a major factor through the air in Week 12.
