Fantasy QB Streamers and Rankings Week 12: Why Daniel Jones and Jimmy Garoppolo Are Top Streaming Options

The NFL and fantasy football season are in full swing, giving us new information and trends to digest and break down ahead of Week 12. With the spotlight on quarterbacks, here are our Week 12 fantasy QB rankings and some streamers to consider.

Top QB Streamers for Week 12

While not in the upper range of our fantasy football rankings, these quarterbacks could be intriguing streaming options in Week 12, as they likely outperform the expectations of many. Let’s begin with Jimmy Garoppolo, who takes on the New Orleans Saints.

Jimmy Garoppolo, San Francisco 49ers

You won’t find sleepers at quarterback, but you find guys who are potentially undervalued. One of those is Garoppolo, who came into Week 11 sitting as QB11 in points per game since Week 5. Garoppolo has recorded at least 230 yards in six straight games and has thrown for multiple touchdowns in his last five matchups.

Don’t want to risk your fantasy record? Well, you can always take a shot on Garoppolo in Underdog Fantasy Pick’ems by taking the higher or lower on his passing projections and so much more. Sign up now and get a deposit match of up to $100 and join one of the many weekly Best Ball tournaments available every week.

He’s also done this against an above-average strength of schedule but faces the Saints on Sunday. They’re 21st in points allowed to the position, but it’s worth noting that Garoppolo will also face the Raiders in Week 17, who have allowed the third-most points at QBs.

It’s worth keeping matchups in mind as we get closer and closer to the playoffs. Garoppolo is on the shorter list of QB streamers for Week 12 due to the matchup and volume of talent around him.

Daniel Jones, New York Giants

Daniel Jones has been crushing it as of late. He threw for over 340 yards on 27 of 41 passing against the Lions on Sunday and finished with 50 yards on seven rushes with two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was the second time within the last four games Jones finished with 25+ PPR points.

Jones came into Week 11 as the QB10 overall, but unfortunately, the Giants lost Wan’Dale Robinson for the remainder of the year after the rookie tore his ACL. With Kadarius Toney now on the Chiefs, the Giants likely have the weakest receiving room in the NFL.

You’re looking at Richie James, Darius Slayton, and Kenny Golladay as the top options. It’s not good at all, but I still have enough faith in Jones to consider him a Week 12 streamer to consider.

Marcus Mariota, Atlanta Falcons

On the list of fun things you can do over the weekend, watching Marcus Mariota play football is not one of them. But somehow, he’s putting up fantasy numbers.

Against the Bears, Mariota completed 13 of 20 passes for 131 yards but rushed 13 times for a laughable 25 yards with a combined two touchdowns. His 18 PPR points placed him as the QB13 with Monday Night Football still to play, and he’s finished now as a QB13 or better in three of his last four games.

Unfortunately, the Atlanta Falcons lost Kyle Pitts for the season with a torn MCL, but it wasn’t like they were throwing the ball to him anyway. Mariota has thrown for 250 yards only once this year and hasn’t exceeded 50 rushing yards since Week 6. But since Week 5, Mariota is the QB6 overall and 12th in per-game scoring at 17.5 PPR.

Mariota and the Falcons might have the easiest remaining strength of schedule, and if you need a streaming option at QB, there are worse options, even if he doesn’t have the highest ceiling.

Derek Carr, Las Vegas Raiders

After a rather pedestrian start to the season, Derek Carr had a bounce back on Sunday, which is surprising as the Denver Broncos typically have been one of these staunchest pass defenses.

Carr completed 23 of 37 for 307 yards and two touchdowns and now has three straight games of multiple scores. In Week 12, he will also face a Seattle Seahawks’ defense that’s been below average to the position and has allowed three of the last four quarterbacks to score at least two touchdowns. Once a late-round target in drafts, Carr is someone to keep in mind for Week 12 if you need additional help at the QB position for fantasy.

Kenny Pickett, Pittsburgh Steelers

After a QB12 performance in Week 10, Kenny Pickett followed it up as the QB15 with Monday Night Football still to play. Taking on the Bengals in Week 11, Pickett completed 25 of his 42 passes for 256 yards and a touchdown while adding 14 yards on the ground from two carries.

He rushed for 50 yards in Week 10, and since Week 4, ranks 10th in rushing attempts (29) and yards (165) amongst quarterbacks. Obviously, this is a massive lottery ticket play, but the upcoming matchup against the Colts and Falcons leaves Pickett in an exciting position.

He’s finally gaining chemistry with George Pickens and Pat Freiermuth as of late, and with the Falcons struggling in the secondary, Pickett might be worth a second look as a Week 12 QB streamer.
