Sit/Start 2025 Week 12: Reviewing All Fantasy Relevant Players in Every Game

Sit or Start recommendations for EVERY fantasy-relevant player in Week 12 of the 2025 NFL season!

Game Info

 

Kickoff: Sunday, November 23, 2025, 4:05 PM ET

Location: Allegiant Stadium, Las Vegas, NV

Network: CBS

 

Cleveland Browns

 

Quarterback

Dillon Gabriel
Shedeur Sanders: SIT

Dillon Gabriel suffered a concussion in Week 11, giving Shedeur Sanders his first taste of regular-season NFL action. Um…it did not go well. Sanders completed just four of 16 attempts, no touchdowns, and one interception while also getting rocked.

 

Sanders gets his first start against the Raiders, but he shouldn’t be in any lineups.

 

Running Back

Quinshon Judkins: START, RB2
Jerome Ford: SIT
Dylan Sampson: SIT

Quinshon Judkins has been in a bit of a dry spell since his three-touchdown performance against Miami in Week 7. Judkins hasn’t found the end zone since, resulting in just one game over 10 points. He’s not playing particularly poorly; he’s not involved in the passing game, and the Browns offense is, well, the Browns offense. Cleveland figures to rely heavily on the run with Sanders under center, but unless the Browns can get near the end zone, Judkins’ ceiling is capped around 10-12 points.

 

Wide Receiver

Jerry Jeudy: SIT
Cedric Tillman: SIT
Isaiah Bond: SIT

 

Tight End

Harold Fannin Jr: SIT

 

Defense/Special Teams

Cleveland Browns

The Raiders are scoring an average of 15.5 points per game and are tied with the Dolphins and Vikings for a league-leading 13 interceptions thrown. 

 

Las Vegas Raiders

 

Quarterback

Geno Smith: SIT

Geno Smith has had the occasional out-of-nowhere multi-touchdown game that’s made him startable a couple of times this season. That’s not going to happen against the Browns, who’ve given up one passing touchdown since Week 9.

 

Running Back

Ashton Jeanty: START, RB2

Other than King Henry last week, the Browns have completely shut down the run this season. Ashton Jeanty is yet another elite talent being thwarted by an inept office and abysmal o-line. Jeanty has the talent to rip a long touchdown anytime he touches the ball, so he maintains some upside as long as he’s getting the ball. The problem is with the Raiders getting down big; they’ve abandoned the run in two of their last four games. That being said, it’s highly unlikely the Browns will put up enough points for that to happen, so Jeanty should see plenty of work Sunday. The problem is that it matches with Cleveland’s run defense.  

 

Wide Receiver

Tre Tucker: SIT
Tyler Lockett: SIT
Dont’e Thornton Jr: SIT

Since his 40-burger in Week 3, Tre Tucker has more games under nine points than games over 10. He’ll get an occasional double-digit fantasy total, but his limited ceiling and nonexistent floor keep Tucker (and all Raiders wide receivers) as a no-go for me.

 

Tight End

Brock Bowers: START, TE1

Brock Bowers is a weekly must-start, but did you know that the legendary actress Kim Basinger, famous for winning an Oscar for her role in L.A. Confidential and appearing in Batman, is also an alumnus of the University of Georgia?
