The fantasy football Week 12 schedule ends Monday and some names to start or sit for the games with the Jets, Bills, Saints and Ravens include Mark Ingram, Sammy Watkins, Justin Forsett, Chris Ivory, Fred Jackson, Owen Daniels, Joe Flacco, Kyle Orton, Michael Vick, Jace Amaro, Robert Woods, Anthony Dixon, Bryce Brown, Steve Smith and Torrey Smith, as those players can help fantasy owners heading towards the playoffs.
The Ravens and Saints are the late game on Monday night football, while the Jets and Bills will kick off earlier after the snow in Buffalo forced the game to be moved to Detroit. Ingram comes into the game as probable, but he is a strong START option for the matchup, as he has been playing well as of late with Pierre Thomas injured. Travaris Cadet could be a sleeper, while Justin Forsett is another good start option for this game with the Ravens and Saints.
Drew Brees, Joe Flacco and Kyle Orton are all solid start options at QB and Michael Vick could be a sleeper with the game in Detroit and on turf. The Jets have Eric Decker coming in looking to play well and he is a solid option along with Jace Amaro and the team also has Chris Ivory as a solid starter pick. The Bills have Sammy Watkins a bit banged up, but he looks ready to go and playing on the turn could be just what the doctor ordered for a player like him. Watkins gives Orton a boost and after Odell Beckham made some magic Sunday, the rookie will try and make some of his own.
Ingram comes into the game as the top back for the Saints and while Pierre Thomas will be coming back, expect Ingram to get the bulk of the carries. Ingram has a shoulder issue, but he is probable and will play and he comes in over the last four weeks averaging over 100 yards and 26 carries. This season Ingram has 618 yards and six TDs and he has been on fire since coming back from his own injuries, going over 100 yards in three of the last four games.
Ingram now faces off against an up and down Ravens defense and he has had at least 23 carries and 25 touches in the past four games. Ingram rushed for 172 yards a few weeks ago and last week he nearly had 100 yards total against the Bengals. The Bills come in with Watkins dealing with a groin issue, but it's not serious and he will play on Monday night. Watkins has been impressive as a rookie and he has 45 catches for 646 yards this season with five TDs. Over the last two weeks Watkins has been quite with just seven catches, but before that he combined for 12 catches and over 200 yards in the previous two games.
Flacco was not good a few weeks ago against the Titans, but against a bad Saints defense he could put up some big points and he has the chance to pick apart their secondary. This season Flacco has 17 TDs and eight picks and he comes in after passing for 169 yards against the Titans heading into the bye week. Forsett is the best start option at RB for the Ravens, as he comes in after going for 112 yards and two TDs in the game against the Titans. This season Forsett has done a solid job coming in for wife beater Ray Rice, as he has 721 yards and five TDs along with 31 catches for another 202 yards.
