Since then he\u2019s cooled off with two straight single-digit fantasy point performances. Both were in wins and were more due to not having to throw as opposed to not playing well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before that, Heinicke scored 15.44, 23.06, and 14.66 fantasy points in the previous three weeks. He has a bit of a gunslinger mentality and is also a bit more mobile than the average quarterback. Heinicke is built in the same mold as Gardner Minshew. This week he gets a juicy matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/falcons\/\" target=\"_self\">Atlanta Falcons<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Falcons have one of the worst secondaries in the NFL and have allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. As long as the Falcons don\u2019t run the ball every play, Heinicke should have a great chance at a bounce-back week in this one which makes him a great Week 12 Stream Team option.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Marcus Mariota<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>ATL<\/b> <b>&#8211; 43%<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">) <\/span><b>@ WAS<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><b>Zach Wilson<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> (<\/span><b>NYJ<\/b> <b>&#8211; 7%) v CHI<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Running Back \u2013 Samaje Perine (CIN &#8211; 8%) @ TEN<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s been a little bit since there has been an injury to a workhorse running back where the backup would take over the workhorse role. That\u2019s what it looks like here for the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/bengals\/\" target=\"_self\">Cincinnati Bengals<\/a>. Unfortunately, Joe Mixon went down with a concussion this week and didn\u2019t return. Make sure to monitor his status throughout the week but Samaje Perine will be the hottest name on the wire this week after how he performed in relief of Mixon. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Perine came into the week with about 50 total fantasy points on the entire season and decided to drop a 30-spot on the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/steelers\/\" target=\"_self\">Pittsburgh Steelers<\/a> this week. He did so by turning 11 carries and four receptions into 82 total yards and three touchdowns. This week he would get a matchup against the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/category\/nfl-teams\/titans\/\" target=\"_self\">Tennessee Titans<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Titans are <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/nfl\/2022\/11\/11\/ryan-tannehill-denver-broncos-run-defense\/\" target=\"_self\">easier to beat through the air<\/a> than on the ground but Perine is a big factor in the passing game as well. Perine\u2019s entire value is dependent upon whether or not Mixon is cleared or not. That being said, if you are in need of a running back this week and need to win to keep your playoff chances alive, empty the FAAB and use your waiver on Perine. This makes him one of the best Week 12 Stream Team options.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Samaje Perine is the first Bengal running back to have 3 receiving touchdowns in one game \ud83d\udcaa<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/samajp32?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Samajp32<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RuleTheJungle?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#RuleTheJungle<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/IKPLcG3l3b\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/IKPLcG3l3b<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Cincinnati Bengals (@Bengals) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Bengals\/status\/1594732369432412166?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 21, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Jerick McKinnon<\/b> <b>(KC &#8211; 26%) v LAR,<\/b> <b>Latavius Murray (DEN &#8211; 23%) @ CAR<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Wide Receiver \u2013 Treylon Burks (TEN &#8211; 20%) v CIN<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We have another rookie wide receiver coming alive for the second week in a row. Last week it was Christian Watson and this time it was Treylon Burks. The Titans passing game has been mostly horrible this season with the departure of A.J. Brown. They were hoping Burks would seamlessly step right in and fill that void but that\u2019s a tall task to ask of anyone, let alone a rookie who was considered more of a raw prospect. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Burks had flashed a little earlier in the season before suffering a turf toe injury that cost him four games. Since coming back he\u2019s seen 14 targets over two games. In the first game it didn\u2019t translate into much production but this week he racked up 111 yards on seven receptions. Robert Woods has looked mostly washed this year in his return from a major knee injury so Burks has a clear opportunity here to establish himself as the alpha receiver they desperately need. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This week he gets a matchup against the Bengals that is better than it looks on paper. The Bengals can put up points so the Titans will likely be forced to drop back to throw more often than usual, much to the benefit of Burks. This combination of things makes him a great Week 12 Stream Team option with the upside to be a guy that is a must-roster moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Treylon Burks has played six games so far as a rookie.<\/p>\n<p>He has earned 35%-plus targets per route in three out of six. \ud83d\udc40\ud83d\udc40\ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>38%, 35%, 7%, 15%, 21%, 38%<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Dwain McFarland (@dwainmcfarland) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dwainmcfarland\/status\/1593476050842959872?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">November 18, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><b>Honorable Mentions \u2013 Darius Slayton<\/b> <b>(NYG &#8211; 50%) @<\/b> <b>DAL,<\/b> <b>Donovan Peoples-Jones (CLE &#8211; 44%) v TB<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><b>Tight End \u2013 Juwan Johnson (NO &#8211; 30%) @ SF<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Juwan Johnson quietly has more fantasy points in 2022 than all but six tight ends. He does rank 14th with 8.72 points per game but that\u2019s only less than half a point from being a top-ten tight end in points per game. He\u2019s been especially good lately as he\u2019s scored double-digit fantasy points in four of his last five games including three straight games. That has coincided with a spike in snap share recently as well. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Johnson has played at least 70% of the snaps for five straight games now. Over that span, he\u2019s also seen at least four targets in four of the five games. That is very good usage at a position as bad as tight end has been. It shows as only Travis Kelce and Cole Kmet have scored more fantasy points among tight ends over the last five weeks. Only Kelce, Kmet, and Dallas Goedert have averaged more fantasy points per game. Johnson still goes largely unrostered in spite of all this.
