Week 12 Fantasy Football Rankings: Defense and Special Teams

Welcome to Week 12 of the fantasy football season!

With three games on Thanksgiving and one on Friday, the most important thing to remember this week is that you need to set those lineups early. As always. I’ve used a full-point PPR scoring system, which you can use in addition to the Week 12 edition of Start Em, Sit Em.

At Sports Illustrated, we always have you covered!

Be sure to check back for updates … and Happy Thanksgiving!
