#12: Josh Jacobs (GB) vs. MIA

Jacobs has the 3rd-most carries in the NFL, as the Packers have been leaning on him hard to get the offense going. In 3 of the last 4 games, Jacobs has been the RB5 or better in PPR formats.

#11: Derrick Henry (BAL) vs. PHI

Henry is still a BEAST as we know from his league-leading 15 touchdowns, his 2nd most rushing yards (1,185), and his 4th-place ranking in true yards per carry. Philly’s tough run defense is the only reason he’s this low this week.

#10: Breece Hall (NYJ) vs. SEA

Indianapolis allowed Hall to go off for his best fantasy performance of 2024 in Week 11. He scored once on the ground and once through the air on his way to 31 fantasy points. The one concern here is that the Seattle defense is playing very well lately, and could limit the Jets offensively.

#9: De’Von Achane (MIA) @ GB

Achane was relatively contained last weekend, but still found the end zone twice for a strong fantasy performance. He’s still 12th in fantasy points per opportunity, and 8th in yards created per touch. So, the Packers will have their hands full.

#8: Kyren Williams (LAR) @ NO

Kyren has a lock on the workhorse role for the Rams. He usually gets at least 15 carries, has the most red zone touches among RBs, and the Saints rank 5th-worst in fantasy points per game allowed to the position.

#7: Jahmyr Gibbs (DET) vs. CHI

Gibbs continues to chug along as this season’s PPR RB4. While Chicago is middle of the pack in limiting fantasy points to RBs, they allow the 11th-most rushing yards per game. Also, Gibbs ranks first in the NFL in explosive rating, so big plays are always on the table when he touches the ball.

#6: Saquon Barkley (PHI) @ BAL

Saquon can do no wrong! After an absolutely massive fantasy week, it would be silly to expect a full-on repeat of a performance, but it isn’t unreasonable to expect him to approach his season average. As the MVP talk intensifies, Saquon is running wild.

#5: Bijan Robinson (ATL) vs. LAC

Bijan is averaging 21.4 touches per game over the last 5. And his 10.3 PPR points in Week 11 represented the only time in 6 games he didns score at least 21.5. The verdict? He should take a ton of touches and bounce back to RB1 status.

#4: Alvin Kamara (NO) vs. LAR

Is this too high up for Alvin? No. He’s coming off the bye week rested up and ready to go against a middling Rams’ defense that just allowed more than 300 scrimmage yards to Saquon Barkley.

#12: Courtland Sutton (DEN) vs. CLE

As Bo Nix has established himself as a solid NFL QB, Sutton has benefitted greatly. Since Week 9, he’s been the WR6, WR6, WR26, and WR2. That’s an excellent stretch. The Browns’ defense has taken a step back in 2024.

#11: Calvin Ridley (TEN) @ WAS

Washington is 12th-worst against WRs in fantasy football. Ridley, for his part, has double digit fantasy points in 4 of his last 5 games. So, he breaks into the top of the rankings this week.

#10: Cooper Kupp (LAR) @ NO

Over the last 2 games, Kupp has 14 catches for 166 yards and 3 touchdowns. It’s a nice run that will continue against a New Orleans defense that allows the 5th-most fantasy points per game to WRs.

#9: CeeDee Lamb (DAL) vs. NYG

The quality of the QB play has seriously diminished for Dallas, but Lamb still has a ridiculous level of volume. He’s averaging nearly 13 targets per game over his last 6. With the Giants in complete disarray, the opportunity alone vaults Lamb into the top 12.

#8: George Pickens (PIT) @ CIN

A lot has been made of Cincinnati’s disappointing record. Their most glaring problem is that they’re a bottom-10 defense against the pass. Pickens’s specialty is the deep ball, and Russell Wilson will look to take some shots.

#7: Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET) vs. CHI

Chicago has a good defense when it comes to limiting opposing WRs. Still, Detroit looks like the class of the league and Sun God is always a threat to score a touchdown. Even after a quiet week, he’s a top option.

#6: Mike Evans (TB) @ CAR

Evans caught 5-of-6 targets in his return to the fold after missing 3 games. He’ll be more comfortable now with a game under his belt. Carolina is competitive lately, which may open up more opportunities for Evans to produce.

#5: Justin Jefferson (MIN) vs. ARI

Jefferson’s been quiet recently, and is suffering a 5-game scoreless streak. He’s still averaging 8 targets per game over that span, however. So, he’s bound to break out a vintage performance any time. Arizona presents a decent chance to do so.

#4: Ja’Marr Chase (CIN) vs. PIT

The matchup isn’t ideal. But, 5 of Chase’s last 7 games have seen him finish as a WR1, and Joe Burrow is absolutely dealing. If the scoring in this one goes off, so will Ja’Marr.
