The Detroit Lions will take on the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, especially regarding QB Jared Goff.

Should You Start or Sit Jared Goff in Week 12?
When Jared Goff is given time and playing with confidence, this offense is poetry in motion. He now has five games this season with multiple passing scores and no more than five incompletions, the first player to do that in the 2000s. In fact, the only other QB with five such regular season games since the start of 2021 is Lamar Jackson.
The Colts concede the sixth-highest red-zone completion percentage (65.2%), a flaw that allows me to elevate a pocket-locked QB like Goff inside of my top 10. He’s posted three finishes inside the top five this year, and while I don’t think we get there this week, I’m starting him where I have him (my Week 12 rank: QB7).
