Week 12 Fantasy Football Rankings: Running Backs

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.

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