5 Fantasy Football Injury Fill-Ins For Week 12

Arian Foster is expected to miss to his second straight game, which is great news for Blue. He was a workhorse last Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, rushing for 156 yards on 36 carries. Blue and the Texans will face another Ohio team in the Cincinnati Bengals, The Bengals rank 28th in the NFL in rushing defense, allowing over 136 yards per game. Blue should be starting in every fantasy league.

With Dwayne Allen expected to miss his second straight game, Fleener becomes a must start at the tight end position. Allen's injury allowed Fleener to show what he can do as the primary tight end target. A favorite of Andrew Lucks since their days at Stanford, Fleener had a career-high 144 yards last Sunday. The Colts play a lenient Jaguars secondary today, a secondary that Fleener already scored on in Week 3.

Matt Asiata has been ruled out for today, and although the Vikings just signed Ben Tate to help out their backfield situation, McKinnon will the lead back against the Green Bay Packers. The Packers allow the fifth-most rushing yards per attempt. McKinnon has gone over 100 yards twice this year and will have a great chance to do it again. Asiata is the goal line running back, so his absence may allow McKinnon to get his first rushing touchdown.

With Reggie Bush sidelined for a second straight game, Bell will again be the primary back for the Lions. Detroit is going up against a Patriots defense allowing the 17th-most fantasy points to opposing running back since Week 6 which is fairly modest. Bell ran for 85 last Sunday against a difficult Cardinals run defense, so he'll again be used heavily in the run and pass. Bell should be a solid RB2 or Flex option for today.

With rookie Brandin Cooks now done for the year, Stills may benefit the most. Jimmy Graham will draw even more attention, making Stills a prime candidate for a deep touchdown on Monday against a depleted Ravens secondary. Baltimore is allowing the the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing receivers over the last six games. Stills had 32 yards and his second touchdown last week and has a chance to get his third in a pivotal matchup.
