Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 12

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

Fantasy football rest of season rankings

Quarterbacks
Rk Never leaves lineup Bye Up/Down Notes
1 Patrick Mahomes, KCC 8 UP2 he may lack Allen’s upside, but Mahomes is playing exceptionally and offering reliable high-end production
2 Josh Allen, BUF 7
3 Jalen Hurts, PHI 7 UP4 surrounded by better talent and feels more likely to produce week to week than Jackson at this point
4 Joe Burrow, CIN 10 nice to see him deliver QB1 numbers w/ Chase on the sideline
5 Lamar Jackson, BAL 10 DN3
6 Justin Fields, CHI 14 great runner, bad passer; keep an eye on his non-throwing shoulder injury
Rk Lineup regulars Bye Up/Down Notes
7 Tua Tagovailoa, MIA 11
8 Justin Herbert, LAC 8 looked better w/ Allen and Williams (briefly) back on the field
9 Dak Prescott, DAL 9
10 Kyler Murray, ARI 13 missed last 2 gms w/ a hamstring injury; his status for Wk 12 is TBD

14 Kirk Cousins, MIN 7 has taken 11 sacks in his last 2 gms
15 Trevor Lawrence, JAC 11
16 Aaron Rodgers, GB 14 DN14 fair to wonder if Love sees time when GB is eliminated from playoff contention
17 Derek Carr, LV 6
18 Deshaun Watson, CLE 9 UP34 set to return in Wk 13; grab him if he’s somehow still available on waivers
19 Daniel Jones, NYG 9 UP21 inconsistent week to week, but his running ability gives him a path to value
Rk Fringe plays/roster depth Bye Up/Down Notes
20 Russell Wilson, DEN 9 DN17
21 Matthew Stafford, LAR 7 returned after missing a game w/ a concussion… and left Wk 11 w/ a head injury; his status for Wk 12 is TBD
22 Kenny Pickett, PIT 9
23 Ryan Tannehill, TEN 6 played great on TNF, but that feels like an outlier
24 Marcus Mariota, ATL 14 UP25
25 Jared Goff, DET 6
26 Matt Ryan, IND 14 DN19 purely a game manager at this point
27 Andy Dalton, NO 14 UP29

33 Jordan Love, GB 14 NR GB might want to get an idea of what they have w/ Love
34 Desmond Ridder, ATL 14
35 Carson Wentz, WAS 14 DN33 on IR w/ a finger injury; he’s eligible to return but may not get another crack at the starting job

1 Austin Ekeler, LAC 8
2 Derrick Henry, TEN 6 now he’s even throwing for TDs
3 Saquon Barkley, NYG 9
4 Christian McCaffrey, SF 14 DN1 SF is (smartly) monitoring his usage; something that can’t be said for the three RBs now above him here

6 Dalvin Cook, MIN 7 literally the only MIN player that had a decent gm in Wk 11
7 Alvin Kamara, NO 14

22 James Conner, ARI 13 DN18
23 D’Onta Foreman, CAR 13
24 Cordarrelle Patterson, ATL 14 why doesn’t ATL ever use him as a receiver?

38 Cam Akers, LAR 7 UP51 had more carries (14) in Wk 11 than Williams and Henderson combined

42 Kareem Hunt, CLE 9 DN39

1 Josh Allen, BUF 7 UP4 still not playing great, but he’s a durable dual-threat w multiple TDs in 9 of his last 10 games
2 Kyler Murray, ARI 12 missed last three games w/ an ankle injury; he appears likely to return in Wk 13
3 Lamar Jackson, BAL 8 DN1 returned in Wk 12 after missing previous game w/ a non-COVID illness… and played an absolutely terrible game
4 Tom Brady, TB 9
Rk Lineup regulars Bye Up/Down Notes
5 Patrick Mahomes, KC 12
6 Justin Herbert, LAC 7 LA is consistently inconsistent offensively
7 Aaron Rodgers, GB 13 UP9 over the last two weeks, GB’s offense has looked a lot like the 2020 version
8 Dak Prescott, DAL 7
9 Matthew Stafford, LAR 11 DN6 hit some big throws in Wk 12 but had a number of misses; he’s reportedly dealing w/ multiple nagging injuries

26 Trevor Lawrence, JAC 7 UP29 still very much a work in progress, but at least he did a little more in Wk 12

30 Baker Mayfield, CLE 13
31 Zach Wilson, NYJ 6 returned in Wk 12 after missing four games w/ a knee injury
32 Jared Goff, DET 9 returned in Wk 12 after missing previous game w/ an oblique injury

20 David Montgomery, CHI 10

Fantasy Football Rest of Season Rankings: Week 12

Forecasting where all of the notable players net out over the remainder of the season.

These fantasy football rankings track a player’s value for the remainder of the season and are intended to be used as a tool, not necessarily a definitive guide to player valuation.

The scoring system is performance PPR. There is no exact science behind season-long rankings, considering all of the variables and situational uncertainties at work.

Rankings key:
UP/DN is trending up or down from week’s ranking.
NR means the player wasn’t ranked last week.
UP/DN numbering shows where the player was ranked the prior week.

9 Aaron Rodgers, GB 13 had his best game of the season but is dealing w/ a painful toe injury
10 Jalen Hurts, PHI 14 looks like the commitment to the run is real and sustainable; Hurts’ running ability keeps him viable but risky
11 Joe Burrow, CIN 10 DN9
12 Kirk Cousins, MIN 7 UP15 he’ll have some duds, but his upside is high enough at this point that it’s worth the risk
13 Matt Ryan, ATL 6 his last two games have been abysmal
