Fantasy Rankings Week 12 / Sports Illustrate
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 regular fantasy starters like Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, De’Von Achane, Ladd McConkey and Oronde Gadsden.
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.
The biggest storyline heading into this week is an important battle in Kansas City between the Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts. The contest includes several fantasy superstars, none more notable than Jonathan Taylor, Rashee Rice, Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce. If the Chiefs lose and go to 5-6, they fall deeper out of the AFC postseason race.
With that said, here are my complete fantasy football player rankings, including my top 100 flex rankings, for Week 12 of the NFL season.
Be sure to check back all week for daily updates!
