What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackle, but it is Monday, November 29th. What a day.

0:21.0

Woo! Every so often we get these, right? We get about four of these a year. Just weird weeks, crazy stuff.

0:28.0

Happens, players get hurt. Of course, you know who I'm talking about. There are a couple big names that I will dive into.

0:34.0

So let's recap all the action with what you need to know from week 12 fantasy football diving into Pittsburgh and Cincinnati.

0:42.0

Pittsburgh got steamrolled and I wish I could say this is a surprise, but every time Pittsburgh goes to Cincinnati, it feels like they get steamrolled.

0:52.0

Now, I don't have numbers to back that up. I just know experience wise, they don't do very well there.

0:57.0

Now, Deonte Johnson was fine nine for 95 on 14 targets. Pat Friarmoot got in the end zone four for 40 in the touchdown, but it was a down day for Najie Harris.

1:08.0

Just eight for 23 on the ground, three for 14 as a receiver, ugly, ugly contest for him, not much doing there other than Johnson and Friarmoot on the other side.

1:19.0

Well, Joe mixing Joe mixing 27 carries this week after topping the 30 mark last week, just another monster performance 27 for 158 and two scores.

1:31.0

He goes four catches on negative two yards, whatever. I don't care about that, but he adds an additional almost four points into PPR game.

1:38.0

T Higgins. I've said a numerous times. I love T Higgins. Well, this is why he has games like this in him. They're not going to happen all the time.

1:46.0

And as long as we're aware of that, well, we'll take the good with the bad with T Higgins. It was down week for Jamar chase, but better days are ahead for the stud receiver and Joe burrow.

1:56.0

Thanks to a rushing touchdown, a decent enough fantasy outing for him as well. Moving on to Tampa and Indianapolis, Lenny proving why you should punt your second running back spot.

2:09.0

You could have gotten Leonard for net for freeing like the ninth round basically this year. Did you feel good about it in August?

2:15.0

No, I didn't. I drafted him in a lot of places. And I felt downright bad about it. In fact, it took me a lengthy shower to wash the stink off of that pick.

2:25.0

But now here we are in week 12. He put up 17 for 103 scores. Seven catches for 31 and a score. That's a 44 burger.

2:35.0

44.1 PPR points to be precise. Grant getting big yet again. Seven for 123 on 10 targets. And when Grant is getting big and Leonard for net is getting big.

2:44.0

Well, nobody else really needs to get big. So don't get too worried about Godwin and Evans down weeks for them. But those will happen.

2:51.0

And yeah, there's just only so much meat on the bone. On the other side, Jonathan Taylor was largely shut down in the first half.

3:00.0

But you can't keep a good man down. I've said he's match up proof even in his bat. This was his bad game. This is his bad game 16 for 83 and a score.

3:08.0

Four for 14. That's a top 10 week in his bad game. Michael Pittman only four for 53, but did have 10 targets. So don't sweat him too much.

3:17.0

And you had a Jack Doyle siding. I know people were going to pick him up next week. I just don't see it really being worth it. I'll talk about him more tomorrow.
