Week 12 Fantasy Rankings 2024

1. De’Von Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins

The matchup is middle-of-the-road (New England’s defense is literally dead-center at 16th in yards per carry against), but Achane sits pretty as a 7.5-point home favorite as the RB5 in fantasy PPG. He’s good for 16-22 touches every week — even with Raheem Mostert back in the fold.

2. Christian McCaffrey, RB, San Francisco 49ers

CMC touches since returning: 19, 23. Yeah, he’s fine.

3. Saquon Barkley, RB, Philadelphia Eagles

Barkley has not scored a touchdown in back-to-back games all year, so going off this extremely scientific and not-at-all random stat, this is his off week, so that’s why he ranks third. Just kidding. The Eagles have ridden Barkley hard in recent weeks, and he’s gone for over 100 yards in four of his last five games.

4. Joe Mixon, RB, Houston Texans

The Titans may be a bad team (2-8), but they are stout against the run, ranking eighth in rush defense DVOA and they are allowing just 4.1 YPC — sixth lowest in the NFL. But because they are so often losing, they have allowed the 10th-most rushing TDs (per FTN’s NFL StatsHub). Regardless of the tough matchup, Mixon has been matchup-proof this year.

5. Kyren Williams, RB, Los Angeles Rams

The list of elite fantasy running backs is deep this year. Derrick Henry isn’t even in the top five this week! Williams didn’t score last week — and he strangely didn’t catch a pass — but he still averaged 5.7 YPC. The over/under of this game is a projected 49 (third-highest of the week), so there’s a good chance Williams ends up back in the TD column.
