There's no need for a long, rambling intro this week for Start 'Em and Sit 'Em. We know you just want to get right into the players to put in your Fantasy football lineup, and the ones you want to avoid. That's why you're here.
But before you get there, in the spirit of Thanksgiving, I just wanted to thank you for reading this column all season long, as well as watching our shows on CBS Sports HQ and listening to our podcasts. We appreciate it more than you know.
While our advice wasn't always on the mark -- that's the nature of predicting sports -- hopefully we steered you in the right direction more often than not. And we hope you were entertained as well.
So enjoy the holiday weekend with your loved ones. And good luck with your Fantasy lineups this week.
Start 'Em & Sit 'Em
Tom Brady definitely looked like a 43-year-old quarterback in Week 11 against the Rams. There were throws he seemingly couldn't make, and he struggled in a 27-24 loss, finishing with 216 passing yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. It was bad, and people are starting to question if Brady is washed up.
He certainly could be, but I'm not buying it yet. I expect Brady to rebound in Week 12 and play like a top-10 Fantasy quarterback in a potential shootout with the Chiefs. The over-under for this game is 53 points, and the Buccaneers offense should do its part to get there.
Let's face it: Brady has been bad in prime-time games this season, scoring 16 Fantasy points or less in three of four night games, and maybe his age factors into playing in the dark. The broadcast of Monday's game against the Rams indicated Brady likes to go to sleep by 9:30 p.m. each night.
In the daytime, however, Brady has at least 23 Fantasy points in five of seven games, and this game kicks off at 4:25 p.m. ET Sunday. It also helps that the Chiefs have allowed at least 27 Fantasy points to both Teddy Bridgewater and Derek Carr in the past two games.
The Buccaneers have too many weapons for the Chiefs to contend with Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski. All of them are potential starters in all Fantasy leagues this week. And the same goes for Brady.
You might be done with him as a starting Fantasy quarterback, and I get that. But I would give him one more chance. During the day on Sunday, Brady should deliver another quality performance.

DST
Saints (at DEN): The Broncos did a nice job against the Dolphins defense in Week 11 with no sacks and just one interception from Drew Lock. However, prior to that, Denver had allowed 10 sacks in the previous five games, with 10 interceptions over that span. And the Broncos scored 18 points or less in three of those games. The Saints have held their past three opponents (Tampa Bay, San Francisco and Atlanta) to 25 points with 13 sacks, seven interceptions and two fumbles over that span.
Giants (at CIN): The Giants get to face Brandon Allen in his first start this year, and this should be a good week to trust their defense. Allen appeared in three games last year for the Broncos, and he had two interceptions and was sacked nine times. The Giants have 13 sacks and five interceptions in their past five games.
Seahawks (at PHI): Carson Wentz has been sacked at least three times in eight games in a row, with 32 sacks over that span. He has a turnover in all but one game this season, with 14 interceptions on the year. And the Eagles have scored 17 points in each of their past two games against the Giants and Browns.
Packers (vs. CHI): It appears Mitchell Trubisky will start for the injured Nick Foles (hip) this week, but either quarterback will make the Packers defense attractive in this matchup. In the three games Trubisky started this season he was sacked six times with three interceptions. The Bears have allowed 14 sacks in their past four games, and Chicago has scored 17 points or less in three of its past four games.
Chargers (at BUF): I liked the Chargers DST last week with the matchup against the Jets, and the unit had a touchdown, a sack and an interception. But the Chargers also allowed 26 points, and opponents have scored at least 26 points in six of their past seven games. The Bills have scored 74 points in their past two games, and Josh Allen wasn't sacked in Week 10 against the Cardinals. This should be a big game for Allen and the Bills on offense.
