Fantasy football advice, Week 12: Who to start/sit for Ravens vs. Saints on ‘Monday Night Football’

The Baltimore Ravens are 6-4 and tied for last in the AFC North. The New Orleans Saints are 4-6 and tied for first in the NFC South. Football's weird, y'all. Anyway, the two teams face off Monday night to end Week 12.

The Ravens come into Monday night basically healthy, with no fantasy-relevant players coming in injured. The Saints wish they could say the same. The already lost wide receiver Brandin Cooks for the rest of the season. They will also be without running back Khiry Robinson for the game, though the team is expected to get Pierre Thomas back from injury, and Mark Ingram will be healthy as well.

Start 'em: It's been an incredible, and totally unexpected, season for Justin Forsett, and he needs to be in every last fantasy lineup. ... Justin Tucker hasn't had his typical Justin Tucker season, but he's still a starting fantasy kicker.

Start 'em?: He was an afterthought early in the season, but now Torrey Smith appears to be back on the radar now, and he's a totally justifiable flex play. ... Owen Daniels is healthy, and a part of his team's offense, and that's a combination not many tight ends can say. ... The Ravens' defense has been decent this season, but against the Saints, that's not an exciting option.

Sit 'em: Since his huge Week 6, Joe Flacco has averaged only 11.5 fantasy points a game. That's nowhere near startable. ... Lorenzo Taliaferro and Bernard Pierce are off the table as far as fantasy relevance is concerned. ... Remember when Steve Smith Sr. was playing so well? it's hard to recall now. Look elsewhere for a fantasy option.

Start 'em: It's been a disappointing season for Drew Brees, but that's mainly by Drew Brees standards; he's still a better option than most other quarterbacks, top five or six at the position. ... You're still using Mark Ingram if you have him, but he's tailed off of late, and the return of some injured options will hurt his upside. ... Jimmy Graham is the No. 2 tight end still.

Start 'em?: Both Marques Colston and Kenny Stills should see their looks increase with Brandin Cooks lost for the year. We'll see how it goes, but both would be justifiable as low-end flex plays. ... Shayne Graham has put up three subpar games in a row. He's still a good kicker, but not a guarantee.

Sit 'em: The return of Pierre Thomas means he's cutting into Ingram's touches, but he isn't worth starting in his own right. ... The Saints' defense just isn't very good.
