Fantasy football rankings for Week 12: Be thankful for Chargers stars

View Date：2025-04-15 01:16:36

If your plate isn't filled with football over the Thanksgiving weekend, it's your own fault. With games Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday, there will be ample opportunities for fantasy managers to watch their players perform.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 12 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Fantasy football Week 12 quarterback rankings

Geno Smith (elbow) was limited in practice Tuesday. He's questionable for Thursday night's game vs. the 49ers.
Justin Fields ran for over 100 yards in his return from the injured list last week. He could be a sneaky daily fantasy play this week vs. the Vikings.
Sleeper pick: Gardner Minshew is coming off a bye week and gets to face a Buccaneers defense that gives up the fourth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks.

Fantasy football Week 12 running back rankings

Kenneth Walker (oblique) has not practiced this week and is questionable for Sunday night. Zach Charbonnet would be a top-25 RB if Walker is out.
Aaron Jones (knee) will not be put on injured reserve, but is "highly unlikely" to play Thanksgiving Day in Detroit.
De'Von Achane (knee) exited early last week as a precaution after he reinjured the ailing knee that landed him on IR earlier this season. He's questionable for Sunday at the Jets.
Sleeper pick: Kyren Williams (ankle) is set to return from IR this week. The Rams releasing Darrell Henderson this week is a good indication Williams is very close to 100%,
