Week 12 is here, and there is no other place you should be than my RB rankings. The Week 12 bye doesn’t hurt too many lineups, as it is just that De’Von Achane is on bye this week. However, if you do have Achane, then I’m sorry, as he has been one of the best fantasy RBs this season. The only major injury to look out for is Josh Jacobs. We don’t know how long he will be out; however, it looks like he will just miss this week. But that means Emanuel Wilson and Chris Brooks are players to look out for.

Running Back Notes
- Let’s start with Chase Brown as my RB15 going against the Patriots. Brown has become a consistent fantasy RB as of late, but I would be wary of starting him this week. The Patriots are the number one defense against fantasy RBs this year. And it looks like Ja’Marr Chase will be out this week, so if they can’t get the passing game going, then I don’t see the run game happening. This does not look like a great week for the Bengals’ offense.
- Next, I have Ashton Jeanty as my RB17 going against the Browns. Jeanty has been ok this year, but for a top pick, he has been terrible. The signs don’t look good going against the Browns this week. The Browns are the fifth-toughest defense against fantasy RBs. The Raiders also look totally lost on offense, and the offensive line is not helping Jeanty. Now that playoffs are on the line, I would not risk starting Jeanty this week.
- Lastly, I have Sean Tucker as my RB24 going against the Rams. I love Tucker as a fantasy RB, but he is still sharing the backfield with Rachaad White. The good news is Tucker had nine more carries than White. I would have Tucker higher on this list, but he is going against the Rams. Tucker is by far the more talented RB, and he could go off against the Rams, but it is too risky for me. Tucker is a flex start at best.
