Fantasy football cheat sheet: Start, sit and more tips for Week 12

With many fantasy football fans watching from a turkey-filled table on Thursday, Week 12 of the NFL season got off to an early start with a trio of Thanksgiving games. For those owners who had to square off against the likes of Antonio Brown, Ezekiel Elliott, Jordan Reed, and perhaps even Donte Moncrief and Anquan Boldin, you may wake up this morning finding your opponent's scoreboard looking quite stuffed indeed.

The good news is, because there are no byes this week, you still have plenty of opportunity to catch up. However, if you're already looking at a huge double-digit deficit, you may well wish to roll the dice and take a few Hail Mary chances on Sunday.

Keep that in mind as you set your fantasy lineups this week. Be sure to take advantage of our Roster Advisor tool to get an edge on your opponents, and for those taking part in the Eliminator Challenge, you can get an edge here too, with the Survivor Guide.

Our weekly ESPN Insider cheat sheet provides a rundown of the greatest hits from all of our Insider fantasy football content. In this file, you'll find answers to the top questions of the week, along with injury updates, matchup advantages and wild-card plays from Eric Karabell, Tristan H. Cockcroft, Scott Kacsmar, Mike Clay and Al Zeidenfeld. It's all the best tips, distilled into one handy file.
