Fantasy Football Start 'Em Sit 'Em 2022 NFL Week 12: Quarterback rankings

Week 12 of the 2022 Fantasy Football season features a full slate of 16 games with all 32 NFL teams in action. No team is currently on a bye week, so all healthy players will be available for fantasy managers as they make their final push towards the fantasy playoffs in a few weeks.

It's always important for managers to have a solid strategy for their quarterbacks in Fantasy Football. They are often the highest scoring players each week, so it's crucial for managers to optimize this position to get the most fantasy points possible. Paying attention to direct weekly matchups and recent individual performances is one way to determine which quarterbacks to target.

NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Start 'Em

Trevor Lawrence - Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Baltimore Ravens

Trevor Lawrence currently ranks 13th among quarterbacks in total fantasy points. This makes him a borderline weekly starting quarterback in Fantasy Football. He has also finished within the top eight in four weeks this year, demonstrating his potential value in the right matchups.

Week 12 presents Lawrence with a favorable matchup to keep his solid fantasy season rolling. The Baltimore Ravens rank in the bottom 12 facing off against fantasy quarterbacks this year. Lawrence will also likely have to pass more often to keep up with opposing quarterback Lamar Jackson.

Geno Smith - Seattle Seahawks vs. Las Vegas Raiders

Geno Smith has been a true breakout performer during the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He spent the last few years mostly as a backup quarterback, but was given the opportunity to be a starter for the 2022 NFL season. He has made the most of it so far.

Smith has scored the seventh-most fantasy points among all quarterbacks so far this year. He will also face off against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. They are one of only four teams allowing more than 21 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks.

Jimmy Garoppolo - San Francisco 49ers vs. New Orleans Saints

Jimmy Garoppolo has been on a roll in recent weeks after a relatively slow start to the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has finished within the top ten fantasy quarterbacks in four of the last six weeks.

Garoppolo and the San Francisco 49ers offense has found their rhythm while spreading the ball around to their talented offense, including newly acquired Christian McCaffrey. The New Orleans Saints rank in the bottom half of the NFL against fantasy quarterbacks, so Garoppolo has a good shot at another strong performance.

NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football Quarterbacks: Sit 'Em

Aaron Rodgers - Green Bay Packers vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Aaron Rodgers has been heating up in recent weeks after a slow start to the 2022 Fantasy Football season. He recorded his first game with more than two touchdowns two weeks ago, facing off against the Dallas Cowboys. He followed that up with another two against the Tennessee Titans last week.

While Rodgers' outlook for the remainder of the 2022 Fantasy Football season is looking brighter, he should be avoided in Week 12. The Philadelphia Eagles allow the fewest fantasy points per game against opposing quarterbacks.

Tom Brady - Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. Cleveland Browns

Tom Brady is having a relatively disappointing 2022 NFL season, especially in Fantasy Football. He has only finished better than QB14 twice this season, while also recording just two multi-touchdown games.

Brady has earned victories against the Los Angeles Rams and Seattle Seahawks in his last two games. He has been extremely efficient, but it hasn't resulted in notable fantasy production. He now faces off against the Cleveland Browns' top-ten ranked fantasy defense against quarterbacks.

Ryan Tannehill - Tennessee Titans vs. Cincinnati Bengals

Ryan Tannehill has made two appearances since missing two games with an injury. He has been solid in both of them, finishing inside the top 12 quarterbacks in Fantasy Football in both games.

While the Tennessee Titans offense will always run through Derrick Henry, Tannehill still brings plenty of fantasy value in the right matchups. Week 12 likely isn't one of them. The Cincinnati Bengals allow the fourth-fewest points to quarterbacks.
