Fantasy Football Week 12 Start ‘Em & Sit’Em: Jeff Wilson, Tua Tagovailoa, Tyler Lockett blue-chip picks

I always like to start this column the week of Thanksgiving by just saying thank you to all of you who read Start ‘Em & Sit ‘Em on a regular basis. It means a lot that you continue to trust us with your Fantasy dilemmas, and I hope we continue to guide you in the right direction.

Remember to set your lineups early Thursday with three games on Thanksgiving. And enjoy the holiday weekend with your families.

But if you need help with your Fantasy teams, we’ll be with you all weekend as always at CBS Sports HQ and on the Fantasy Football Today podcast. And get in touch with any questions as always using #AskFFT on Twitter.

While you should be relaxing during this time, you may be sweating some Fantasy concerns about your turn. And we want to make sure your teams are moving in the right direction as the Fantasy playoffs quickly approach.

The Dolphins made a small move at the NFL trade deadline to acquire Jeff Wilson from the 49ers, and it could pay huge dividends for their team this season. Fantasy managers are certainly reaping the benefits of Wilson playing in Miami.

In two games with the Dolphins, Wilson has scored 37 PPR points, with at least 16 PPR points in each outing. He starred in Week 10 against Cleveland with 17 carries for 119 yards and a touchdown, along with two catches for 24 yards on five targets.

Raheem Mostert will continue to work alongside Wilson, and Mostert deserves to be used as a flex option in Week 12 against Houston. But Wilson has a chance to be a star and should start in all leagues.

The Texans allow the most Fantasy points to opposing running backs, and a running back has scored at least 13 PPR points against Houston in all but one game this season, which was Week 2 against Denver. Eight running backs have at least 100 total yards against the Texans, eight have scored touchdowns, including four with multiple scores, and eight have at least three receptions against Houston.

While the offense relies on Tua Tagovailoa and the passing game, Wilson has provided a spark to Miami’s running game. I see Wilson as the No. 1 running back in the league and could end up as a top-10 Fantasy pick given the matchup with the Texans.
