By Week 12, every roster decision counts in fantasy football. Roles are locked in, byes are thinning out and benches and playoff implications sharpen every start/sit call. These are the plays and fades that can give you the edge this week.

Quarterbacks

Start: Caleb Williams, Bears vs Steelers

Williams has settled into a mid-season rhythm, and Chicago has steadily expanded the offense around him. Pittsburgh has allowed steady passing production — at least one passing score in four straight games — and has struggled to contain quarterbacks who extend plays. Williams’ blend of designed runs and aggressive downfield attempts gives him strong QB1 upside in Week 12.

Other locks:

— Drake Maye vs Bengals

— Jared Goff vs Giants

— Jordan Love vs Vikings

Avoid: Baker Mayfield, Buccaneers vs R
