Alexander has run away from the competition of late. (USP)

Fantasy is a speculative game. Predict the future, and you look like a genius. Don't, and you're painfully human. Gazing into the crystal ball here's our view on 10 intriguing over/unders for Week 12.

Bolt from the Blue Danario Alexander receiving yards against the Ravens 74.5

Andy — I'll take the UNDER on yards, because I do not trust Philip Rivers at all. (Best feeling I've had this week was dropping him in two leagues for Kaepernick). I do still think DX can find the end zone, however. Still a respectable play. Let's call it four catches for 70 yards, with a score.

Scott — Put me down for the OVER. I love how Alexander has made a big play in three straight weeks, and I love his his target total keeps increasing. Baltimore's secondary isn't a shutdown group, and we all know the Ravens don't play as well on the road.

Dalton — UNDER. This number seems just about right, but I'm going under thinking this game will be lower scoring than expected. That's not to say Alexander isn't a viable weekly fantasy starter as long as his knees hold up.

This guy has probably calmed down significantly since Week 1. (USP)

It's about this time each year, the insatiable injury imp wreaks havoc on NFL rosters, pushing previously worthless backups out of the shadows and into the spotlight. This week, Bryce Brown, Ronnie Hillman and Jalen Parmele get their shot at fantasy fame.

On this week's stuffed show, we dished out spoonfuls of opinion. At the top of the program, Brad Evans and Andy Behrens decided what new scoring sources will be the most valuable in Week 12 and beyond. Also, we unveiled our biggest turkeys and players we're most thankful for. And will it be a statistical gold rush for Colin Kaepernick in New Orleans? We told you.

Tom Brady, NE, QB (93-percent started)
Matchup: at NYJ
The two-time MVP is again doing what he always does: Wake up next to his lingerie model wife. Slip on his favorite pair of Uggs. Drive to stadium. Shell defenses. Suffice it to say, it's good being Brady. Currently the sixth-best passer in Fantasyland and on pace to score his third-best season in his illustrious career, he's again delivering rock solid QB1 results. But any given week any 'stud' is capable of posting a dud, which could happen to Mr. Bundchen in Week 12. Over the past three seasons, a span of five games, Brady has grounded the Jets, averaging 296.6 yards per game while throwing for 12 touchdowns, including a 259-2-0 effort back in Week 7. However, this year's Jets brand, similar to years past, has defended the pass very well, even without it's blanket corner Darrelle Revis. Since Week 3 only Brady and Russell Wilson have eclipsed the 20-point threshold against New York. Though minus Rob Gronkowski, New England is overloaded with weapons. Aaron Hernandez and Julian Edelman should fill the void admirably. But, at home, with slim wildcard hopes on the line, Antonio Cromartie and company elevate their game. For one-week only, Tom Terrific gives way to Tom Tepid.

Fearless Forecast: 22-37, 246 passing yards, 1 touchdown, 1 interception, 15.3 fantasy points

Well-rested Eli should uncork often in high-volume Week 12 appearance. (USP)

Each week the Noise highlights 12-13 somewhat obscure, unobvious names who he believes are destined to torch the competition. To qualify, each player must be started in fewer than 60 percent of Yahoo! leagues.

Eli Manning, NYG, QB (33-percent started)
Matchup: vs. GB
Weak, noodle-like, 'tired' … Manning's arm may not be "Eli-astic" but it was undoubtedly the most overblown story spewed by a bored New York media during an otherwise uneventful Giants bye week. Yes, Tom Coughlin's passing offense has dragged along at a sluggish pace since Eli's 337 yard, 1-TD effort versus Washington in Week 7, but the one-week siesta is exactly what the doctor ordered. Pro Football Talk reported Monday the passer's regained "pop" on this throws. Truthfully, Manning, sans for the lack of TDs, has actually tallied numbers on par with recent seasons. His completion percentage (61.3), yards per game (264.1) and yards per attempt (7.3) are well above career averages. But because Fantasyland is an instant gratification society, underwhelming numbers over a three-game stretch are unwelcome and unacceptable. Hopefully you bought on the bear. The Giants' matchup in Week 12 is outstanding. Green Bay's defense, sans Charles Woodson, Clay Matthews and other key players, is an exploitable unit. Though it's conceded just 6.7 yards per attempt since Week 7, four straight QBs have thrown for at least 255 yards and a TD against it. With Hakeem Nicks finally back to 100-percent and the Giants desperate to resuscitate it's aerial attack, look for Eli to storm out of the bye with guns ablazin'. In a contest where points will be plentiful, anticipate a top-10 finish.

Fearless Forecast: 28-44, 318 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 22.9 fantasy points

San Fran could turn up golden against Cutler-less Bears Monday Night. (USP)

In several NFL stadiums from coast-to-coast change is in the air. One week after the unforgiving injury imp wreaked havoc over team depth-charts, several notable quarterbacks — Ben Roethlisberger, Michael Vick, Jay Cutler and Alex Smith — could be down and out this week and beyond. For some the effects are positive (e.g. Nick Foles), but for others their absences could be game-changing (e.g. Brandon Marshall and Mike Wallace).

On this week's mournful show, Brad Evans and Dalton Del Don broke down what these untimely setbacks mean and who will be most impacted. Also on this week's program, the tag-team revealed their sleepers, busts and Shocker Specials from every remaining Week 11 game, decided whether Jeremy Maclin will finish inside the WR top-15 in Over/Under and unveiled our top All-Rodney Dangerfield selections.

Too busy chasing down your Thanksgiving Day dinner? Understandable. Listen to the replays below:

Reece could have owners Back in Black this week against New Orleans (USP)

Fantasy is a speculative game. Predict the future, and you look like a genius. Don't, and you're painfully human. Gazing into the crystal ball here's our view on 10 intriguing over/unders for Week 11.

Marcel Reece total yards against the NFC's worst run defense, New Orleans, 109.5

Dalton — OVER. Reece totaled 104 yards last week at Baltimore in a blowout loss. He's now at home against probably the worst defense in the league and is Oakland's clear workhorse. And even if the Raiders are playing mostly from behind, that might be a good thing with his activity as a receiver. Reece is a top-12 fantasy RB this week in my book.

Brandon — UNDER. I love Reece a lot this week, but it's mostly because I have him in a few leagues and they are all PPR leagues (which really should be the "standard"). I just think the yardage total is a little rich. I'd probably go over at 99.5, though.

Scott — A clear OVER from me. The Raiders love to throw to their backs (the young back has been terrific in that area all year) and Reece was surprisingly handy as a runner last week, too. Taiwan Jones isn't in the way at all. And the Saints probably won't be, either.

Cutler's concussion couldn't have come at a worse time for Da Bears. (USP)

Willis McGahee, Den, RB (78-percent started)
Matchup: vs. SD
Outside his 155-total yard, 1-TD thrashing of New Orleans in Week 8, the elderly rusher has started to develop a noticeable crust. Against San Diego, Cincinnati and exploitable Carolina, he totaled a mere 3.2 yards per carry, 85.6 total yards per game and accounted for zero touchdowns. Considering his advanced age, slumping production and troublesome case of fumblitis — he's lost four of five fumbles this year — one has to wonder if McGahee's fantasy value is abruptly grinding to a halt. Still, he has the faith of the coaching staff and continues to dominate snaps over rookie backup Ronnie Hillman. However, if another ball squirts free from his grasp, the tables could definitely turn. Four weeks ago in his first meeting against the Chargers, the rusher proved useful tallying 98 yards on 21 touches. Provided he squeezes the rock, another 18-22 touches are on tap in the rematch, but spectacular numbers could be farfetched. Since Week 6, Trent Richardson is the only RB to rack at least 12 fantasy points against the Bolts. And on the season they've allowed a very modest 3.7 yards per carry to RBs. Because of the sizable workload, McGahee remains a suitable RB2 in a hellish bye week for backs, but don't bank on Mile High numbers.

Fearless Forecast: 17 carries, 62 rushing yards, 3 receptions 21 receiving yards, 0 touchdowns, 10.5 fantasy points

PalmerHead2Carson Palmer, Oak, QB (20-percent started)
Matchup: at NO
Palmer is the Fuddruckers burger of the NFL — terribly underrated. Despite ranking ninth in total points among quarterbacks, well-ahead of brand names Cam Newton, Michael Vick and Tony Romo, his cheeks remain firmly planted on most virtual benches week-to-week. They shouldn't. If there's one passer who should be suffering from a 'tired arm,' it's the Raider. Thanks to Oakland's friendly defense, only Matthew Stafford (44.6) has attempted more passes than Palmer (41.4) this season. More of the same is on the docket in Week 11. Early indications suggest Darren McFadden could return to the lineup this week, but even if he does, a pass-first, pass-often blueprint will likely be followed. New Orleans, winners of four straight, are arguably the hottest offensive team in the league. Because the Raiders and Saints, defensively, would struggle to cage a herd of turtles, a shootout seems inevitable. That occurs, and Palmer could again flirt with the top-five. On average, 'Nawlins has given up a mind-blowing 27.6 fantasy points per game to QBs this year. Matt Cassel was the only passer — Shocker! — who didn't cross the 22-point threshold against it in standard formats. Enough is enough. Show it's time to plug Palmer in.

Fearless Forecast: 31-46, 337 passing yards, 2 passing touchdowns, 1 interception, 2 rushing yards, 24.1 fantasy points
