Start or Sit These Players on Monday Night to Win Week 12 Fantasy
I will be with you every step of the way with recommendations on who to start and who to sit for every Monday Night Football matchup. Without further ado, let’s make the moves required to wrap up your Week 12 victory. This week we take a look at the Seattle Seahawks in Washington to face the Football Team.
Quarterback

Russell Wilson – Seattle Seahawks Sully’s Rank: QB11
Russell Wilson enters Week 12 as the QB28 after missing several weeks with a finger injury to his throwing hand. Prior to the injury in Week 5, Wilson was sitting at QB10, poised for yet another top-12 QB season. Since his return in Week 10, Wilson has struggled. In his two games post finger surgery, he is averaging only 8.06 points a week and is the QB25.
In Week 12, Wilson and the Seahawks face a Washington defense that is the worst of the league’s 32 teams against the quarterback this season. They are allowing on average 24.7 points a game to the position. In 10 games they have allowed 24 passing touchdowns and another 3 rushing touchdowns. Quarterbacks that face Washington this season have averaged 280 passing yards and 2.4 TD passes. In addition to their work in the passing game, you can add another 26.5 rushing yards and .3 scores.
Make no mistake about it, this is a great matchup for Wilson if he is healthy, which I am not sure he is. Since his return, Wilson has totaled 34 completions on 66 attempts for 368 yards, no touchdowns and two interceptions. He has also ran the ball seven times for 34 yards and has fumbled twice, recovering them both. Wilson’s 51.52% completion percentage is extremely concerning. Prior to the finger injury he was firing at 72%, and his career average entering 2021 was 65.1%.
Ranking Wilson at QB11 as I have this week feels a little high. That said, this is still Russell Wilson and he is still playing Washington. I am starting Wilson where I roster him this week, but it is certainly not with my usual confidence.
Taylor Heinicke – Washington Football Team Sully’s Rank: QB14
Taylor Heinicke enters Week 12 as QB15 averaging 17.80 fantasy points per week. It’s fairly safe to say that Heinicke has exceeded expectations this season.
In Week 12, Heinicke and the Football Team face a Seahawks defense that is 14th best against the opposing QB. They are allowing on average 18.5 points a game to the position. Last week the Seahawks yielded 22.92 points to Arizona’s Colt McCoy at home. This week they travel across the country to tangle with Heinicke.
Last week on the road, Taylor Heinicke put up 23.14 fantasy points in Carolina in Week 11, and I am am expecting him to stay hot this week at home. Since slumping in Weeks 5 and 6 (scoring a combined 22.2 points), he has played to a QB13 ranking which includes a bye week. His 18.48 points a week since Week 7 ranks 11th best. I have confidence in Taylor Heinicke this week as a streaming option. This game has a feel of being high scoring.

Seattle Backfield
The Seattle backfield is a mess. Chris Carson is on season ending IR with a neck injury. Alex Collins is battling a core injury and has been limited in practice and ineffective in games for over a month. Travis Homer and Rashaad Penny are also banged up and could miss Week 12. The last man standing, DeeJay Dallas,
