The fantasy football playoffs are coming soon and some pickups out of Week 12 as free agents include names like Odell Beckham, LeGarrette Blount, Latavius Murray, Jarvis Landry, Dan Herron, Trent Richardson, Jonas Gray, CJ Anderson, Justin Forsett, Jerick McKinnon, Matt Asiata, Alfred Blue, Isaiah Crowell, Denard Robinson and Percy Harvin, as those players can help owners moving forward this year.
Odell Beckham made one of the greatest catches veer on Sunday night and he had another fantastic game in a loss for the Giants. The team clearly has a star here, but fantasy owners also have a star and he had 10 catches in this game for 146 yards and two TDs and now is a prime starter moving forward. Beckham has been one of the most impressive rookies this season and he has the chance to keep things going with some easy matchups for the Giants the rest of the season. Beckham is a big play receiver and now he should be a top starter for the rest of the season for the Giants.
Murray is a strong pickup in deeper leagues, as he had 112 yards and two touchdowns in his first big game this season. Murray will have time to heal up and he could be a sleeper for the rest of the season. Jarvis Landry has also been another strong rookie receiver and he comes in after making seven catches for 50 yards and two TDs against the Broncos. The Dolphins love Landry and he comes in after playing alongside Beckham and making some amazing plays at LSU.
Blount came in and took the most of his chance with the Patriots and that came after he was released by the Steelers. Jonas Gray missed practice on Friday after his 200 yard game against the Colts and that allowed Blount to get more action. Blount had 78 yards in the game and two touchdowns and he was a great start for fantasy owners. Blount could be an option going forward for the Pats this season now that he has signed back.
The fantasy football Week 13 schedule is coming and with TEs Julius Thomas, Jordan Cameron and Dwayne Allen out with injuries, players like Jacob Tamme, Coby Fleener, Marcedes Lewis, Owen Daniels and Larry Donnell are solid options to pick up and start for fantasy owners, as Thomas and Allen have played well this season and now their production will need to be made up.
The Cincinnati Bengals have Giovani Bernard back at practice after an injury, but fantasy football owners should watch out for Jeremy Hill in Week 13 again, as he has "earned" more playing time and could take carries from Bernard, while Mohamed Sanu comes in as the best sleeper start option alongside AJ Green, as those two WRs could put up points with Andy Dalton.
The Oakland Raiders won their first game of the season on Thursday and now Latavius Murray, Mychal Rivera, James Jones and Derek Carr all could be fantasy football pickup options for the final stretch of the season after Week 12, as Oakland has pride to play for and the emergence of Murray could help fantasy owners heading towards the playoffs.
