The NFL's Week 12 takes four teams away from fantasy football managers, meaning quarterbacks Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, Jayden Daniels/Marcus Mariota, and Tua Tagovailoa.
Plenty of starter-worthy fantasy QBs remain, though, and we'll once again aim to wade through the plentiful yet trap-filled quarterback player pool.

Which QB injuries should I monitor for fantasy Week 12?
- Aaron Rodgers was removed from Week 11 action with a left wrist fracture and is questionable for Week 12. Mason Rudolph took his place and would start if Rodgers must miss time.
- Jaxson Dart (concussion) is out. Jameis Winston will once again replace him, this time against the Lions.
- Joe Burrow will not be activated. He'll likely return on Thanksgiving.
Who are the best Week 12 fantasy QBs?
Jalen Hurts' draw against the Dallas Cowboys gifts him with the best statistical matchup for fantasy purposes. With the Eagles' offensive line just about at full strength, expect Philly to win the trench battles and for Hurts to do whatever he wants on offense.
Many other familiar names grace the top tiers, but we'll highlight Caleb Williams' placement with the matchup against the Steelers, who got lucky they had favorable weather conditions to limit the Bengals' passing offense in Week 11. Williams should find more success barring extenuating circumstances.
Which fantasy QB sleepers should I stream for Week 12?
We're going to bump up Justin Fields against the Ravens, chiefly for the rushing volume he's again likely to add. This puts him above most superflex/QB2/streaming options for Week 12, with four starter-caliber quarterbacks on bye.
If the Lions still have more major injuries on defense, including cornerback Terrion Arnold, Jameis Winston could have a surprisingly successful day if he gets another start in Jaxson Dart's stead.

Which quarterbacks rank as fantasy Week 12 busts?
Dak Prescott shouldn't be counted on as more than a superflex/QB2 option against the Eagles, despite having homefield advantage. Philadelphia will continue to have the Cowboys' number, and while garbage time could help pad Prescott's stats, this one could get ugly.
