Fantasy Football Show Podcast Week 12: Waiver pickups, sleepers, start 'em/sit 'em advice image

If you listen to only one fantasy football podcast all year and it happens to be the Week 12 Fantasy Football Show (podcast available on iTunes, SoundCloud, and YouTube), you would walk away from the 2019 season thinking Ryan Griffin is the most important player in all of fantasy football. (He's not, by the way, but we really like him as both a waiver pickup and obvious 'start' if he's on your start 'em, sit 'em bubble.)

The good news is we talk about some other players, too, including Dak PresscotTom Brady, and Aaron Rodgers...whoever they are. We also break down if Bo Scarbrough is for real, whether Jordan Wilkins or Jonathan Williams is the better Colts RB play, and the likelihood of fantasy owners benching Amari Cooper this week. On top of that, we hit you with Brian Hill regret, DeVante Parker appreciation, and Jeff Driskel optimism.

WEEK 12 NON-PPR RANKINGS:
Quarterback | Running back | Wide receiver | Tight end | D/ST | Kicker

If all of that isn't enough for you, you should also listen just to find out which player one of the SN Fantasy experts is convinced is going to miss games soon (and which handcuff he's wasting a roster spot on).
