Case Keenum, QB, Denver Broncos

Yahoo! Ownership: 19%

Even with Case Keenum underwhelming in fantasy this season -- currently sitting as the QB24 -- the Denver Broncos quarterback is worth trusting in Week 13 versus the Cincinnati Bengals.

Last week, Keenum threw for under 200 yards, but most importantly connected for a pair of scores and played mistake-free football against the fifth-best pass defense in the NFL, per our metrics, the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is capable of big games too. In four of his last seven games, he's tossed at least two touchdowns, and had three 290-plus passing yard performances in that stretch as well. This Sunday, he couldn't ask for an easier matchup as the Bengals rank dead-last in fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks.

During the entire season, the Bengals' pass defense has been shredded, ranking 31st in the NFL with 292.0 passing yards and 2.3 touchdowns allowed per game. Since Week 6, though, the defensive woes have gotten worse. In the last six games, Bengals’ opponents have racked up at least 481 total yards four times. All that marching up and down has led to some significant offensive outputs. Offenses have averaged 36.2 points per game with four of the six teams scoring at least 34 points.
