Fantasy Football Week 12 Rankings – Running Backs PPR

To differentiate between all the “Start ‘Ems” on my Fantasy Football Start Em, Sit Em page, you can check out the Weekly Fantasy Football Rankings, so you can figure out whom to start between Player X and Player Y.

Below are my fantasy RB rankings and a set of links for my positional Weekly NFL Fantasy Football Rankings. Keep in mind that this list is for this week only; not the entire rest of the season.

The rankings are based on a PPR scoring system. Each player has Walterfootball.com’s projected stats and standard scoring points.

    60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 50 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.

  5. Woody Marks, RB, Texans (vs. Bills)- 19 Points
    80 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    Woody Marks is much more explosive than Nick Chubb.

  10. Quinshon Judkins, RB, Browns (at Raiders)- 16 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 2 Catches, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Raiders are mediocre to the run, so Quinshon Judkins could have a decent performance.

    50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 20 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    David Montgomery has a much better outlook in this game.

    60 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 40 Receiving Yards.
    The Ravens have been better against the run since the bye.

  19. Kyren Williams, RB, Rams (vs. Buccaneers)- 14 Points
    60 Rushing Yards, 1 Catch, 10 Receiving Yards, 1 TD.
    The Buccaneers were great against the run, but Vita Vea doesn’t seem healthy.

  20. Jaylen Warren, RB, Steelers (at Bears)- 14 Points
    70 Rushing Yards, 4 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    The Bears will be better against the run if T.J. Edwards returns.

    Zach Charbonnet will be in a much easier matchup this week.

  25. Sean Tucker, RB, Bucs (at Rams)- 11 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
    Sean Tucker has surpassed Rachaad White, though Bucky Irving could be back soon. This isn’t as easy of a matchup either.

  26. Travis Etienne, RB, Jaguars (at Cardinals)- 11 Points
    50 Rushing Yards, 3 Catches, 30 Receiving Yards.
    The Cardinals should be able to limit Travis Etienne.

  27. Kareem Hunt, RB, Chiefs (vs. Colts)- 10 Points
    40 Rushing Yards, 1 TD.
    The Colts won’t be as good against the run without DeForest Buckner.

    Rachaad White is only catching passes these days.
