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!
Among the running backs, Jahmyr Gibbs remains in the top five after another huge performance. I also love Isiah Pacheco, who should thrive in a plus matchup in Las Vegas. Zach Charbonnet moves way up with Kenneth Walker injured, but the rookie has a brutal matchup against the 49ers. I’d also beware James Conner this week.
At wide receiver, A.J. Brown is in the top five even after last week’s stinker against the Chiefs. Puka Nacua moves up into the top 10 with Cooper Kupp injured, while Ja’Marr Chase and Garrett Wilson both take a dive with their respective situations at quarterback. Tank Dell, on the flip side, continues to rise up the rank lists.
At tight end, George Kittle is red hot and a top-three player at the position. David Njoku busts into the top 10 after a 15-target game last week, and Isaiah Likely has moved way up in the rankings with Mark Andrews expected to miss playing time.
Be sure to check back for updates … and Happy Thanksgiving!
