Week 12 of the NFL Season is wrapping up and we had a nice 10-Game slate to break down. Now it’s time to recap our top plays to see who succeeded and who didn’t.
Top Quarterbacks
Jalen Hurts, Philadelphia Eagles (1.1x Multiplier)
It was a struggle of a Sunday for Jalen Hurts and the Philadelphia Eagles as they took a loss against the New York Giants. Hurts completed his day with three interceptions and no touchdowns as he threw for just 129 yards. He did add on 77 rushing yards but even that couldn’t save his or the Eagles’ day.
Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers (1.3x)
It was just a terrible day for our quarterback selections as Cam Newton was trying to match Jalen Hurts. He threw for just 92 yards while adding on two interceptions. To add insult to his play, Newton was benched at the beginning of the fourth quarter.
Top Running Backs
James Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars (1.35x)
It seemed like the Atlanta Falcons came to play as they defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 21 to 14 and James Robinson was kept from the end zone. To finish his day, Robinson carried the football 17 times for 86 rushing yards while adding on three receptions for 29 yards. With no touchdown on the day, Robinson was not able to use the multiplier to the optimal level.
Najee Harris, Pittsburgh Steelers (1.15x)
To keep up with the bad play karma of Sunday, Najee Harris was on the wrong side of the football in a scoring onslaught. While the Cincinnati Bengals dominated the Steelers, Harris was kept to his lowest output day of the season. Harris finished the game with just 23 rushing yards and 14 receiving yards. He was another victim of not finding the end zone in a game where he should have benefited.
Top Wide Receivers
Chris Godwin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers (1.4x)
It was a “pick your poison” game for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and most likely, many of us were off as Leonard Fournette lived in the end zone for four touchdowns. For Chris Godwin though, he had four receptions for 24 receiving yards with no score. He was able to add on one rush but for just three yards to make a combined total of 27 yards altogether. This Buccaneers’ offense is deadly and makes it hard to decide which route to go when it comes down to building lineups weekly.
Brandin Cooks, Houston Texans (1.45x)
We finally got to a play that was able to find the end zone and that was Brandin Cooks! He may have found the end zone once against the New York
Jets but his yardage did not get to the point we would have liked to see. He finished the game with just three receptions off of five targets for 45 receiving yards plus his one receiving touchdown.
Top Tight Ends
Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles (1.15x)
Dallas Goedert was affected negatively due to the poor all-around play of the Philadelphia Eagles as he ended up with a goose egg. He did have three targets on the game but just nothing came to life for the Eagles team.
Pat Freiermuth, Pittsburgh Steelers (1.7x)
It’s hard to pass up on Pat Freiermuth anytime he has a high multiplier and even in a horrible game versus the Cincinnati Bengals. Freiermuth finished his day with four receptions and 40 receiving yards while adding on one touchdown. Paying off his multiplier in a bad game situation, Freiermuth continues to provide this Steelers offense with a consistent tight end skillset.
