NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football News: Peyton Hillis, Aaron Rodgers, And Dwayne Bowe Flying High

Cassel is having a big day also, and has completed 15 of 20 passes for 171 yards and two touchdowns.

The Chiefs are dominating this game, and have the Seahawks out-yarded, 302-71. Seattle will need some long, sustained drives to get their defense a rest if they want to get back in this game.

Cutler has completed three of four passes for 69 yards. The most impressive thing, is that two of said passes went for touchdowns! Vick has been good early also, completing seven of 11 passes for 75 yards.

Keep it here; as we project a lot more points to be scored, with both quarterbacks putting up big fantasy football numbers as a result. This game is fixing to be very exciting. The Bears currently lead, 14-13, but the Eagles have the football at midfield, within striking distance.

Houston Texans WR Andre Johnson got into a scrap with Tennessee Titans CB Cortland Finnegan, putting a stop to what had been another productive outing. The Texans were up 20-0 over their division rivals at the time, with Johnson’s nine catches on 11 targets helping to lead the way.

With Johnson likely to miss a game or two, consider giving WR Kevin Walter or WR Jacoby Jones a start, or TE Joel Dreessen, who’s had two strong weeks in a row now. Walter has four touchdowns in seven games, with two games over 90 yards receiving. Jones only has one touchdown in nine games, but with QB Matt Schaub distributing he’s sure to get looks in Johnson’s absence. If you’re into looking for deep sleepers, consider WR David Anderson. He has multiple catches in two straight games with Johnson around.

Buffalo Bills RB Fred Jackson is over 100 total yards for the third straight week, with a touchdown for the fourth straight. The majority of his yards have come on receptions. Pittsburgh Steelers RB Rashard Mendenhall is having a good game of his own, with 84 yards and a touchdown already. With a whole quarter to go, Mendenhall could have his first 100-yard day since week three against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

QB Ben Roethlisberger and QB Ryan Fitzpatrick also have a nice duel going, with Big Ben’s 195 yards trumped so far by Fitzpatrick’s 203 and a touchdown. WR Hines Ward is playing well again after missing a game in week 10 and only grabbing a few passes against the Oakland Raiders. WR Emmanuel Sanders, thought to be just a temporary replacement for Ward, is again a small part of the Steelers offense with a couple catches today.
