Rookie Quarterback Emerges as Fantasy Football Contender

Among the rookie quarterbacks making headlines in the 2023 NFL season, Washington‘s signal-caller has consistently been in the spotlight. However, Denver’s emerging quarterback is starting to garner attention as a must-start option for fantasy football enthusiasts.

Following an impressive performance against the Atlanta Falcons, which marked his best game of the season, Denver’s quarterback has secured a spot in the top 10 rankings for this week’s matchup against the Las Vegas team. His ascent comes amid a backdrop of several teams on bye, including Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, New Orleans, and the New York Jets.

The fantasy football rankings for Week 12 are specifically calculated based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring system. This method, predominantly used in both seasonal and daily fantasy football formats, awards one point for every 10 rushing and receiving yards, and one point for every 20 passing yards. Touchdowns are valued at six points each, while passing touchdowns are worth four points, with an additional point allotted for each reception.

The latest rankings have been compiled by Daniel Dobish, whose analyses are awaited by fantasy football enthusiasts each week. Players are reminded to verify the status of players, as indicated by an asterisk, before the kickoff of games to make informed decisions for their fantasy teams.
