Fantasy Football 2012 NFL Bye Week Cheat Sheet
A quick, printable look at the complete bye week schedule for the NFL in 2012.

The all-important bye week can make or break a fantasy football season.
Finding quality spot starters doesn't have to be just a last-minute, Sunday morning race to the waiver wire, either. A quality fantasy general manager plans well ahead of time for off weeks. And while I, personally, am willing to sacrifice one week loaded with byes in order to draft the best team for the other 16 weeks, most GMs will address the off week in the draft room.
In a move that I applaud, the NFL has decided to condense its off-week scheduling into a tighter eight-week window.
