Week 12 fantasy rankings: Lions’ offensive juggernaut keeps rolling
Perhaps the city of Detroit should be nicknamed ‘Go-Town’ instead, considering how the first-place Lions don’t seem to be taking their feet off the accelerator anytime soon.
The 9-1 Lions hit the 50-point mark for the second time this season in Week 11, as their offensive stars racked up the fantasy points by playing almost the entire game. Next up: The Indianapolis Colts.
ON BYE: Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, New Orleans, New York Jets
Fantasy football rankings for Week 12 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.
Rankings are compiled by Daniel Dobish, TheHuddle.com.

Fantasy football Week 12 quarterback rankings
Brock Purdy is day-to-day with a sore right shoulder.
With a healthy Daniel Jones benched following the bye week, the Giants will turn to Tommy DeVito under center. It’s not expected to go well.
Fantasy football Week 12 running back rankings
Alexander Mattison left Sunday’s game early with an ankle injury. Zamir White (quad) was also forced out, leaving Ameer Abdullah as the Raiders’ potential starter this week. Keep an eye on their practice participation.
De’Andre Swift (groin) missed practice on Wednesday, which could make Roschon Johnson an even more valuable waiver wire pickup this week.
Fantasy football Week 12 wide receiver rankings
Mike Evans (hamstring) was spotted on the field at practice on Monday and is set to make his return after a three-game absence.
Jordan Addison (leg) left Sunday’s game early due to cramping. He’s expected to be OK to face the Bears.
Fantasy football Week 12 tight end rankings
George Kittle (hamstring) is expected to be ready to go on Sunday after missing last week.
Sam LaPorta (shoulder) missed last week’s game with a sprained AC joint. If he’s not fully recovered, Brock Wright (1-5, TD last week) would step in again.
Jake Ferguson (concussion) is unlikely to play in Week 12 after leaving Monday night’s game early. Luke Schoonmaker (6-56) will likely be the primary tight end.
