The Star Tribune's Michael Rand welcomes Twins relief pitcher Glen Perkins into the mix for this week's fantasy picks. He's basically a two-pitch hurler on the mound (with the occasional changeup), so we'll see if he can expand the zone with three separate categories. Perkins was allowed to choose any quarterback, wide receiver and running back except for those taken by last week's guest. Rand was not allowed to pick anyone in the top 10 at his position in terms of NFL.com fantasy default scoring.GLEN PERKINS' WEEK 12 FANTASY PICKS
QB: Peyton Manning, Broncos
NFL.com QB scoring rank: No. 5. Matchup: Chiefs
It was between him and Tom Brady. The Pats are playing the Jets, who have a battered and bruised secondary (entire team). The Broncos are playing the Chiefs who are, you guessed it, the Chiefs.
WR: A.J. Green, Bengals
NFL.com WR scoring rank: No. 1
Matchup: Raiders
I wanted to take Andre Johnson, but I don't think he will do it again this week. I'll go with A.J. Green at home against the Raaaaydahs (cheesy Chris Berman voice).
RB: Adrian Peterson, Vikings
