FlurrySports has three great Week 12 fantasy football QB streaming options for you, including Atlanta Falcons’ Kirk Cousins.
We are in the midst of many playoff runs in fantasy football. You probably need to win this week in order to get into the picture or really feel comfortable about your spot. The issue this week is that we have a few fantasy-relevant teams on bye when it comes to the quarterback position. Justin Herbert and Bo Nix are both on bye. So, if you are the owner of either player, you will need a fantasy football QB streaming option this week. Luckily for you, there are numerous options for you to fill in your signal-caller this week.
Using what we know from the first eleven weeks of the season, we have a pretty good idea of which matchups to exploit for our Week 12 QB fantasy football streamers! When you’re done, check out our Week 12 fantasy football rankings.
Note: Players must be owned in less than 60% of ESPN leagues to be included in the best fantasy football streamers column.
Week 12 Fantasy Football QB Streaming Options
Kirk Cousins vs New Orleans Saints (2.7%)
After Michael Penix Jr. was put on IR, Kirk Cousins is now the starting quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. This is not your normal backup quarterback position players, though, as Cousins has spent numerous years in the NFL as a good quarterback. He has a chance to get back to the Kirk that we know with a matchup against the New Orleans Saints this week. The Saints come into this game as 1.5-point favorites. Vegas does not think the Falcons will win this game, which makes me think that the Falcons are going to be playing from behind. That means that they have to pass the ball in this game.
Luckily for the Cousins and the Falcons, the Saints have struggled against the pass this season. In total, New Orleans has given up 2,076 passing yards and 18 passing touchdowns this season, and this equates to 19.4 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. When we are looking for a streamer to fill in this week, 19 points is more than enough out of the quarterback position to feel comfortable.

Jacoby Brissett vs Jacksonville Jaguars (34.2%)
When we look back at the 2025-26 NFL season, there will be many storylines to mention. One that is going to go under the radar and will be a great trivia question in years to come is Jacoby Brissett setting the record for most completions in a game, with 47. I have said that Brissett is a better passer than Kyler Murray, and the Cardinals need to change their offense to revolve around him. Without Marvin Harrison last week, Brissett and the Cardinals were able to do that. Not that Brissett is going to set the record for most completions in a game again, but I am expecting another big passing game for Arizona this week.
That comes from Arizona’s matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars. We saw the Jaguars kill the Chargers last week, and I do believe that the Chargers are a better team than the Cardinals. That makes me think that the Jaguars are in for another dominant win this week. So, the Cardinals will be playing from behind again and will have to pass. That works well for Brissett, as the Jaguars are giving up 23.1 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, including giving up 21 passing touchdowns on the season.
Bryce Young vs San Francisco 49ers (10.9%)
After coming off his best statistical performance as an NFL quarterback, finishing as QB2 on the week, Bryce Young is looking for another big performance on Monday night this week. It certainly looks like Tet McMillan is coming into his own as a wide receiver in the NFL. Still, Young actually completed passes to eight different players last week. While it certainly is not the best receiving core in the NFL, it looks like the Panthers have some help around Young. Especially with how good Rico Dowdle has looked running the ball, the Panthers all of a sudden can move the football.
The offense will again be able to move the ball in this game against a suspect 49ers defense. With all of the injuries all season long, the 49ers have found issues with rushing the passer. This works well for Young, who is more comfortable with a clean pocket. On the season, the fantasy football QB position is scoring 22.3 fantasy points per game against the 49ers defense. Not that Young will repeat his big performance from last week, but the matchup is there for him to have another big one.
