Fantasy football Week 12 picks, sleepers, busts and rankings - Matthew Berry loves and hates these QBs, RBs, WRs, TEs - ESPN

Field Yates and Stephania Bell discuss whether Taysom Hill is a viable starting QB in fantasy following his performance in Week 11.

It's Week 12 of the NFL season, with a three-game football feast on Thanksgiving Day, including key divisional matchups in the NFC East and AFC North and the annual appearance of the Detroit Lions.

Fantasy managers need to make sure they set their lineups accordingly, with plenty of time to make adjustments on Friday and Saturday.

Matthew Berry's Love/Hate Week 12 is here to help.

To me, this week, among other things, is about reflection and, obviously, giving thanks.

2020 has made many people confront their own mortality in a way they maybe haven't before, a process that I went through for the first time about three years ago.

I wrote about it three weeks later, and in the column, I discussed the changes I was trying to make to my life, starting with my diet and schedule.

That includes this week, as we have a truncated week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, with games starting at noon Thursday.

Instead of trying to write an intro this week, I decided to rerun one of my favorite columns.

I chose this column to share this week to remind myself and hopefully others that as bad as it can sometimes get, there are still things to be incredibly grateful for.

Embracing the fun spirit of fantasy sports, ESPN senior fantasy analyst Matthew Berry and his unconventional cast of characters aim to make fantasy football players smarter and help them win their leagues.

I answer all his questions because something in my haze seeps through to realize that he doesn't care about any of this; he's probably just trying to keep me alert and talking, and this is his job.

I had never been in that moment before, where I actually thought about mortality in a real, present way, and I had just one thought.

I spend as much time with them as I can, but it's not enough, especially during football season, when I am in the office Sunday through Friday every week.

I think about what their life would be like without me, growing up and going to various life events.

The time we spent together.

I don't have time to linger on that as we get to the hospital.

Well, you know how they make you wait forever?

My wife worked at ESPN for a long time, so she started getting texts.

Let me know if there's anything you need.".

Take as much time as you need.

Or maybe outside places knew about it and just didn't care.

It is an unfortunate reality that we often have to go through something massive to make changes, both personally and, too often, globally, but I have made some changes in my life and am working on making more.
