Uncover the Fantasy Football Rankings for Week 12

Week 12 Fantasy Football Quarterback Rankings: Risers and Fallers

Justin Herbert, the veteran quarterback, has been on a resurgence and is no longer flying under the radar. He has finished as a top-12 quarterback in four consecutive outings. In Week 12, he will face a Ravens team that has allowed the fifth-most points to opposing signal-callers.Bo Nix, the rookie, has been red-hot, finishing as a top-12 fantasy quarterback in five of his last seven games, including four outings of QB9 or better. The Raiders have conceded at least 17.4 points to passers in all but two contests since Week 1.Patrick Mahomes, the two-time MVP, has not been a strong fantasy asset recently, but this could be the week to give him a chance. Carolina has given up the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks in 2024.Geno Smith, the 34-year-old, has ranked as the QB12 or better in six of his 10 games this season. He faces a Cardinals squad that is allowing an average of 21.9 fantasy points to quarterbacks on the road (compared to 12.2 at home).Anthony Richardson, in his return against the Jets, racked up 305 total yards and three scores. The Lions have surrendered at least 15.7 fantasy points to six different quarterbacks this season.Jayden Daniels, after looking like a league-winning pick through four games, has now ranked as the QB11 or lower in seven straight games, including finishes of QB24 and QB23 in his last two outings.Sam Darnold, after struggling against the Jaguars, rebounded with 264 yards and 3 touchdowns against the Titans. However, it will be tough against a Bears team that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to the position in 2024.Jameis Winston, in Week 11, erupted for 403 total yards and two touchdowns, but streamers should look elsewhere in Week 12. No quarterback has surpassed 18.4 fantasy points against the Steelers this season.

Week 12 Fantasy Football Running Back Rankings: Risers and Fallers

Tyrone Tracy Jr., the rookie, has ranked as a top-10 running back in three of his last five games. He should have a great opportunity against a Bucs front that ceded the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing backfields.Najee Harris, the 26-year-old, has finished as the RB18 or better in five straight games. Six running backs have eclipsed double-digit half-PPR points against the Browns over their last six games.Bucky Irving, after an RB6 finish in Week 10, has now ranked as the R17 or better in three of his last five outings. He will face a Giants defense that has allowed the most rush yards and third-most fantasy points to backs since Week 7.Brian Robinson Jr. and Austin Ekeler are both good plays. Robinson has ranked as the RB17 or better in five of his eight games this season and is only lower than RB22 once. Ekeler has finished as the RB27 or better in seven of his last nine games. Both face a Cowboys team that is giving up the third-most fantasy points to running backs in 2024.Jonathan Taylor, who was consistently ranked inside the top-10, has finished higher than RB11 just once in eight games this campaign. The Lions await in Week 12 and have given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to runners this season.Aaron Jones, the veteran, got off to a great start but has struggled lately. In his last six games, he has ranked higher than RB19 just once.Kareem Hunt, the honeymoon period might be over as Isiah Pacheco is set to return in Week 12. Hunt also had a season-low 14 touches against the Bills on Sunday.Audric Estime, after head coach Sean Payton stated that he would “continue to get more reps,” finished with nine touches, four fewer than the previous week. Utilize this backfield in fantasy at your own risk.

Week 12 Fantasy Football Wide Receiver Rankings: Risers and Fallers

Mike Evans is back and ready to play. He should have an elite role in Week 12. Granted, it's a small sample size, but since 2022, the 31-year-old has averaged 0.57 fantasy points per route run without Chris Godwin. Only Tyreek Hill (0.64) has averaged more during that period.Jauan Jennings has seen three games this season with more than six targets and has finished as the WR1, WR17, and WR8 (with MNF pending). He looks like a top-15 wideout for the rest of the season.Jaxon Smith-Njigba, despite D.K. Metcalf's return, still racked up 110 yards on 10 receptions against the 49ers and added 8 yards on the ground. He is firmly in the top-20 conversation this week.Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston are good options. The Ravens have allowed the most fantasy points to wideouts in 2024, so it's time to fire up the Chargers receivers. McConkey has topped 100 yards in two of his last four games, and Johnston has finished as a top-30 receiver in five of his last seven games.Jerry Jeudy has now had at least eight targets in three consecutive games and had a 6/142/1 line in Week 11. Even against the Steelers, he is on the streaming radar.Deebo Samuel Sr., despite the absences of Brandon Aiyuk and George Kittle, managed just 21 total yards this week. He is now ranked as the WR37 or worse in five of his last seven games. Adjust expectations accordingly.Romeo Doubs, after finishing as the WR9 and WR15 in Week 6 and 7 respectively, has now placed outside the top-45 in three straight games. He is off the fantasy radar in a tough Week 12 matchup against the 49ers.Jaylen Waddle, the speedster, has had his best finish since Week 1 as WR35. The upside is always there with Waddle, but start him at your own risk.

Week 12 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings: Risers and Fallers

Jonnu Smith has been a top-two tight end in two of his last five games and is ranked as the TE17 or higher in five of his last six. He is a decent streaming option, especially at a thin position.Ja’Tavion Sanders has finished as the TE16 or higher in four of his last five games, including three top-12 performances in his last four outings. He is a good streaming option against a Chiefs team that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends.Tucker Kraft has had four targets or fewer in four of his last five outings, with his latest resulting in a goose egg against the Bears. The 49ers have surrendered the fifth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season.Pat Freiermuth has struggled to get targets. He hasn't exceeded three looks since Week 4 and has only one performance better than TE18 during that stretch.
