Fantasy football projections, Week 12: Chiefs-Raiders featuring Jamaal Charles, Travis Kelce and Derek Carr

The Week 12 matchup between the Kansas City Chiefs in the Oakland Raiders is quite the mismatch on paper. We've got the fantasy projections for you courtesy of numberFire.

Any Jamaal Charles fantasy owner that was concerned that the superstar rusher hadn't yet posted a 100-yard rushing game going into Week 11 can rest easy. That's because Charles torched the Seattle Seahawks to the tune of 159 yards and two touchdowns on 20 carries. He now has seven touchdowns over the last five weeks and in Week 12 against the Raiders, Charles will be facing a defense that gives up the 10^th most fantasy points to running backs. Another multi-touchdown game and yardage total beyond 100 yards is certainly within reach, if not expected.

Given that Sunday's game is expected to be a blowout, there's a good chance the Chiefs won't have to throw the ball very often. But that doesn't mean tight end Travis Kelce isn't going to put in some work. Very few people knew his name at the start of the season, but fantasy owners know who he is now. He's been held to just 56 receiving yards in the last two weeks combined, but he did play on 50 of 52 snaps against the Seahawks and should be a fixture against the Raiders in Week 12.

It's been a rough year to be a member of the Raiders, with the team being 0-10. Part of that has to do with the struggles of rookie quarterback Derek Carr, who completed just 16 passes in Week 11, marking the third time this season he's completed that exact number of throws. Against a San Diego Chargers team that had been struggling for weeks, Carr failed to throw a touchdown pass and racked up just 172 yards. He will certainly have his work cut out for him against the Chiefs in Week 12, and any fantasy owner crazy enough to take a gamble on him will be lucky to see any fantasy production of significance.
