Fantasy Football Week 12 Recap

Hello Heat Seekers, welcome to episode 114 of Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast, I am your host, I am Rob Sullivan. Sully’s 2 Cents Fantasy Football Podcast is a proud member of the RotoHeat family of podcasts.

Well this is it, the final week of your fantasy regular season schedule, Week 13, is coming up. Typically all season I have been bringing you some seriously mediocre start sit advice. This episode is a bonus episode, a week 12 recap and a solid dose of Sully’s 2 Cents. The start sit episode will be out later this week, but first we need to wrap up Week 12 the week that would never end.

Week 12 (which feels like it started a month ago), is currently scheduled to conclude with the Baltimore Ravens/ Pittsburgh Steelers today, Wednesday afternoon December 2, 2020. Wednesday afternoon football, a game that was initially the primetime Thanksgiving Day contest. A game that was pushed from Thursday to Sunday, to Monday to Tuesday to, yup you guessed it Wednesday. All because of a Covid-19 outbreak within the Baltimore Ravens organization.

The pandemic has caused us to have the first Wednesday NFL contest since Since 2012, and the second since 1950. The NFL played that 2012 Wednesday game as the regular season opener. The New York Giants and the Dallas Cowboys were originally scheduled to play it on Thursday, but the game got bumped to Wednesday so that it didn’t conflict with President Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention that year.

The pandemic also caused us to witness a practice squad Wide Receiver impersonate a QB. Kendall Hinton entered Sunday with 2200 Twitter followers, and exited Sunday with 12,000 followers. He also threw 2 interceptions which in all honestly isn’t terrible. Unfortunately those picks doubled his completions. He finished 1/9 for 13 yards with said two picks and 2 carries for 7 yards, in the Broncos 31-3 loss to the New Orleans Saints.

Shame on the NFL for letting this happen. The Broncos screwed up, there is no doubt, but to permit this ESS show of a football game to take place in the same week that you postponed a football game 4 times, is inexcusable. The Broncos requested to have the game pushed back to Sunday, and the NFL would have none of it. One game can move 4-5 times and another can not move once. Interesting.

Kendall Hinton my man, take comfort in this very stat. In Week 9 the New Orleans Saints defeated the Tampa Bay Buccaneers led by arguably the greatest QB ever to play this game Tom Brady, 38-3. Forget that you threw for 13 yards and forget that you are likely back selling sunglasses for a living. You put up the same number of points on the Saints that the GOAT did.

Now there were a large number of fantasy managers that added Hinton and to their rosters and started him. Shame on every single one of you. Not to be a jerk but you got exactly what you deserved here. Start and sits as much as I get them wrong each week is all about the process. I project, I rank and I pick out a few that I feel are the best calls.

There was very little reason to add this player and simply no reason to start him here as there was as ...
