Week 12 Reactions: Beanie's Beasting
Week 12 is in the books and playoff pictures are starting to shape up. Whether you are in contention or rebuilding, you can still have an eye on next season. A number of Dynasty prospects are going to get an opportunity in the coming weeks as teams fall out of contention. Now is the time to snag a few and stasht them at the end of your bench. Let's take a look at this past week's action from a Dynasty perspective.

Tim Tebow keeps winning and putting up solid fantasy points week in and week out. He's putting John Elway and co. in a tough spot this offseason. A commitment to him as a franchise QB would give him a more stable Dynasty value. It just does not seem likely that the Broncos will do that.

Andy Dalton
continues to impress...and move up our Dynasty rankings.

Same goes for Carson Palmer.

Beanie Wells is beasting, but for how long? He's been very up and down this season and remains a production by volume player. That does not mean he can't be useful, but his long term Dynasty value is still up in the air. He has RB2 upside, but remember he has limitations.

Michael Bush is a free agent after this year and each week is earning himself more money. Very legitimate RB2 upside, only hindered by his age (he'll be 28 next season).

Roy Helu got featured back touches and impressed with solid burst and receiving ability. He's a long term committee back, but one with high end RB2 upside. Dynasty stock up.

Victor Cruz has gone from Dynasty flier to must-start Beast very quickly. He is producing like a Top 7 WR and clearly has Eli Manning's trust. Hakeem Nicks is still the top talent here, but Cruz's production cannot be denied.

Andre Johnson came back with a bang whimper. With Matt Leinart's season ending injury, prospect TJ Yates is at the helm, limiting AJ's upside moving forward. Still, he should be a borderline WR1/2 because he will get his fair share of targets.

Laurent Robinson continues to impress. He's always had the talent, but has not been able to stay healthy for a full season. It will be interesting to see what happens when Miles Austin comes back, but Romo has confidence in Robinson.

Finally, the Bears decided to use Johnny Knox. Good move. Earl Bennett misses his friend Jay.

Damian Williams
should be a very solid 2nd WR opposite Kenny Britt starting next season.

Sidney Rice
went on IR after suffering a 2nd concussion this month. He's only 25 and has Beastly upside, but injuries continue to ravage his career. Consider him nothing more than a WR3/4 in your league because of injury woes, but one capable of delivering WR2 when healthy.

The Jaguars fired Jack Del Rio and then released WR Jason Hill. Rookie Cecil Shorts III should get a chance to show what he can do. Pick him up now.

Jimmy Graham and Rob Gronkowski continue to separate themselves from the rest of the field. Graham is a physically gifted, ultra-athletic wide receiver playing tight end and Gronk is an impossible to tackle redzone animal. More to come on these two in the coming weeks.

The Godfather of the position, Tony Gonzalez, is having a very solid season as well. He clearly has the ability to play at a high level.
