Despite the position being devalued across the NFL, running back is still the most important position in the Fantasy football rankings. Week 11 further cemented that fact with two monstrous performances almost singlehandedly winning the week. Austin Ekeler had 115 scrimmage yards and four touchdowns for the Chargers, while Jonathan Taylor had 204 scrimmage yards and five touchdowns for the Colts. Those two have cemented themselves at the top of the Fantasy football RB rankings, and setting your Week 12 Fantasy football lineups is a little easier if you own one or both.
However, running back depth is once again taking a hit, as you can add Michael Carter (ankle) and Elijah Mitchell (finger) to the ranks of backs who might not be able to play this week. Before you lock in your Week 12 Fantasy football picks, be sure to check out the Week 12 Fantasy football predictions from the proven computer model at SportsLine.
When it comes to ranking players, SportsLine's model beat human experts in Fantasy football for the past several seasons especially when there were big differences in ranking. Over the course of a season, that could literally be the difference between winning your league or going home emptyhanded.
Last week, the model was extremely high on Bengals running back Joe Mixon, saying he'd finish as a top-five running back for the week. The result: Mixon rushed for 123 yards and two touchdowns in a Bengals win. Anybody who had him in their lineup was well on their way to a huge week.
Now, the model, which simulates every NFL game 10,000 times, has revealed its Fantasy football rankings for Week 12 of the 2021 NFL season. Head to SportsLine now to see them.
Top Week 12 Fantasy football picks
One player the model is high on this week: Jets running back Ty Johnson. With Michael Carter out, Johnson is expected to slide into a more prominent role in the Jets' backfield after primarily serving as the third-down back this season. With Joe Flacco expected to start against the Texans, Johnson could be in line to see plenty of touches as both a ball-carrier and receiver.
With Carter handling most of the early-down work of late, Johnson has only run 42 times for 144 yards and a score, but he has 25 catches for 271 yards and two touchdowns. He should see a larger share of snaps and carries with Carter out and will still serve as a reliable outlet for Flacco out of the backfield. That's why the model ranks him as a top-15 option at running back for Week 12.
And a massive shocker: Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who was started in 74 percent of CBS Sports Fantasy football leagues last week, stumbles big-time and doesn't even crack the top 25 at his position. Tannehill has reinvented himself since taking over as Tennessee's starter in the middle of the 2019 season, but much of his success has been predicated on the Titans' ability to run the ball, which has been tough since Derrick Henry (foot) got hurt.
Tannehill has averaged just 6.4 yards per pass attempt in the three weeks since Henry was hurt and last week when the Titans were forced to throw often while playing from behind, it was a struggle. Tannehill threw four interceptions and averaged just 6.2 yards per pass attempt despite completing 67.3 percent of his throws. He'll take on the Patriots on Sunday, who rank No. 3 in the NFL in total defense, which is why the model ranks Tannehill outside its top 25 options at quarterback in Week 12.
How to set Week 12 Fantasy football rankings
The model is also calling for a surprising quarterback you aren't even thinking about to finish in the top 10 of its Fantasy football rankings. This pick could be the difference between winning big and going home with nothing. You can only see who it is here.
So who should you start and sit this week? And which surprising quarterback could lead you to victory? Visit SportsLine now to get Week 12 Fantasy football rankings for every position, plus see which QB is going to come out of nowhere to crack the top five, all from the model that has out-performed experts big-time.
