Fantasy football start/sit, Week 12: Andre Brown should continue strong play

Andre Brown has become quite the fantasy asset. Should fantasy owners start him this week?

Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports

Andre Brown has picked up quite a bit of steam in just a brief period of time as a running back for the New York Giants this season.

He's played in just two games so far this season, but has a whopping 52 touches, yielding 212 yards in both wins against the Oakland Raiders in Week 10 and the Green Bay Packers in Week 11.

Those were favorable matchups for the tailback and this is going to be another one in Week 12. He will get the banged-up Dallas Cowboys at home. The Boys are coming off a bye, but they were absolutely abused by the New Orleans Saints in Week 10, giving up 40 first downs, 49 points and 625 yards. That's one game, folks.

It's pretty simple when it comes to Andre Brown: Play him. The Giants have been able to move the ball better these days and have a tremendous matchup without linebacker Sean Lee manning the middle for Dallas. He is a top-10 back in standard leagues and is still a top-15 option in PPR formats.
