49ers RB Christian McCaffrey faces the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. / Joe Rondone/The Republic / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images
Welcome to Week 12!
The NFL schedule goes back to a four-team bye week, as the Chargers, Commanders, Broncos, and Dolphins are off. That leaves us without De’Von Achane, RJ Harvey, Kimani Vidal and Chris Rodriguez, and at least three of them are viable weekly starters.
There are longer any International Games left on the schedule, so the Sunday slate starts at 1pm ET with seven games. There are four games in the 4pm ET window followed of course by the usual Sunday night and Monday night contests to end the weekend’s action.
This week’s running backs risers in the rankings include TreVeyon Henderson, Kenneth Walker III, and Travis Etienne Jr., all of whom have great matchups next on the schedule. On the flip side, backs like Alvin Kamara, D’Andre Swift, and Breece Hall could struggle versus tougher foes.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football running back rankings for Week 12 of the NFL season.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
