The fantasy football playoffs are fast approaching. Week 12 can be the make-or-break moment for managers fighting to stay alive. Injuries, slumps, and brutal matchups have left more than a few contenders scrambling for an emergency quarterback plug-in. The good news is that several viable late-week streamers have emerged. Whether you need a high-volume passer or simply a steady QB who won’t sink your roster, Week 12 offers more upside options than usual. Here are the names who can keep your playoff push alive.
Ahead of Week 12 of the 2025 NFL Season, it’s time to see which quarterbacks are among the last-minute fantasy football streaming options.
Jacoby Brissett has become one of the most reliable fantasy football streamers of the entire season. In Sunday’s loss to San Francisco, Brissett completed an NFL regular-season record 47 passes on 57 attempts for 452 yards. He also had two touchdowns and two interceptions. What makes the performance even more impressive is that he did it without No. 1 wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. Instead, Brissett elevated Michael Wilson (15–185–0 on 18 targets) and Trey McBride (10–115–1 on 11 targets). Both posted massive days.
The Arizona offense has leaned heavily on Brissett’s arm since he took over for Kyler Murray in Week 6. The result has been a stunningly consistent fantasy football floor. Across five starts, Brissett has averaged 314 passing yards per game with a strong 10:3 TD-to-INT ratio. More importantly for managers: he has delivered at least 23.4 fantasy points in every start during that stretch.
With another likely pass-heavy script against the Jaguars, Brissett is the most bankable Week 12 streamer on the board.
If you can stomach the risk, Sam Darnold still finds himself in consideration as a Week 12 streaming option. There’s no sugarcoating his recent form, though. Darnold threw four interceptions in Sunday’s loss to the Rams. That followed up a three-pick outing the previous week. The meltdown marked his first four-interception game since 2019. It renewed concerns about his poise in high-pressure moments.
However, the underlying volume remains fantasy football relevant. Darnold has thrown for 2,541 yards across 10 starts. In addition, Seattle’s offense continues to give him the opportunity to post big passing totals. When he’s clean and in rhythm, he has shown the ability to deliver multi-touchdown games and high yardage.
The Titans matchup is the key here. Tennessee’s defense has been inconsistent against the pass. Also, Darnold’s workload keeps him in the streaming conversation for managers who need upside. He’s volatile, but he is still a legitimate emergency option with a workable matchup.
Bryce Young turned in his most impressive professional performance in Week 11. He shredded the Falcons for 448 yards and three touchdowns while playing through an ankle injury. Not only did he engineer a 14-point comeback. Young also showed tremendous command of the offense. He found rhythm with Tetairoa McMillan and Xavier Legette...
