2023 NFL Week 12 Fantasy Football Rankings

By Josh Larky, Matthew Hill & Kev Wheeler

Below, you’ll find 2023 Week 12 fantasy rankings for points per reception (PPR) and half-PPR leagues. There are 32 ranked quarterbacks, 49 running backs, 67 wide receivers and 25 tight ends.

On Thursday, Matthew Hill and Kevin Wheeler’s rankings will be added, and positional rankings then will be ordered by averaging the rankings from the three of us.

There also are the top 12 defense rankings from Ryan Reynolds.

There are no teams on bye in Week 12.

For each player, you can view their ranking, matchup and implied team total according to Las Vegas sportsbooks. For example, the Jacksonville Jaguars and Houston Texans have a Vegas game total of 48.5, with the Jaguars favored by 1.5 points (25 points implied for the Jaguars, 23.5 points implied for the Texans). Seeing the implied point totals can help you understand which games (and teams) are projected to be high-scoring and filled with fantasy points.

Meanwhile, xPPR (expected PPR points) looks strictly at usage rather than a player’s ability. Think of this as each player’s average expected fantasy points per game based on the touches they get.

The “Proj.” column in the table (projected fantasy points, added Wednesday) is courtesy of our data scientist, Ben Wolbransky. His projections won’t fully align with my fantasy rankings, but it’s another good piece of the puzzle to consider.

Detailed player write-ups appear below each set of positional rankings for additional context and will be updated throughout the week as injuries and other news come out.

Dak Prescott faces a Commanders defense that’s arguably the worst unit in football right now.
Justin Fields ran 18 times for 104 yards in his Week 11 return against the Lions. The Vikings' defense has played well of late, but no team is capable of shutting down Fields’ dual-threat ability when he’s on. Minnesota has been difficult to run against this season, so expect more of Fields’ passing abilities in Week 12.
Tua Tagovailoa has struggled against above-average defenses this year, and his floor is lowered against the Jets during the first-ever Black Friday game.
Gardner Minshew is a top streamer this week against a Buccaneers defense allowing 8.0 yards per pass attempt (second-highest) and 20.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks (third-highest). The Buccaneers are yet to allow a rushing touchdown to running backs all season, so expect a more pass-centric game plan in the red zone and at the goal line for the Indianapolis Colts.

Travis Etienne has begun to cede more work to backup RB D’Ernest Johnson, and without elite volume, he’s not a high-end fantasy RB1.
Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery are strong starts on Thursday against a Packers defense allowing the seventh-most rushing yards per game this season. Green Bay also gives up the 11th-most receptions to the position. Gibbs and Montgomery can finish inside the top 12 this week.
Kyren Williams is ranked with the assumption he’ll return to his workhorse ways before the injury, with Royce Freeman receiving a few breather back touches. Williams had at least 15 combined carries and targets in all six games to begin the season, reaching 17 fantasy points in four of six and averaging 18.5 PPR fantasy points per game during that span. The Cardinals allow 26.6 points per game to the position, the third-highest in the league.
Javonte Williams is borderline monopolizing the running back carries in Denver, and the Browns' defense has been lockdown against passing attacks this season but much softer against running games, relatively.
Jaylen Warr en has back-to-back games of more than 100 yards, and with offensive coordinator Matt Canada’s firing earlier this week, he could out-touch Najee Harris in Week 12 against the Bengals.
Zach Charbonnet should handle close to 20 touches for the Seattle Seahawks on Thanksgiving due to Kenneth Walker’s oblique injury. Unfortunately, the game script and the 49ers defense are not in his favor. Charbonnet should get by in fantasy through check downs in the passing game, though.
Devin Singletary has at least 22 carries, 112 rushing yards and a touchdown in back-to-back games, but Dameon Pierce returns from injury. Additionally, the Jaguars' defense has held up well against running backs, allowing just 61 rushing yards per game to the position at 3.6 yards per carry.
Khalil Herbert should handle heavy volume for the Bears in Week 12 because of D’Onta Foreman’s ankle sprain. However, the Vikings have shut down every running game other than the Eagles’ this season

Only Tyreek Hill averages more fantasy points per game (25.7) than Keenan Allen (22.8) this season.
Seven wide receivers have topped 100 receiving yards and seven have topped 20 PPR fantasy points against Tampa Bay this year. Michael Pittman should reach double-digit targets in what projects to be a sneaky shootout.
DJ Moore averages more than 22 fantasy points per game when Justin Fields starts and finishes the game, but just 10 points when it’s Tyson Bagent. Against a pass funnel Vikings defense, Moore is poised for a huge game.
Tank Dell is quietly the WR10 in fantasy points per game, and he gets a Jacksonville defense that’s struggled against receivers.
We’re playing wait-and-see with Justin Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase in their first full games with backup quarterbacks this season. The expectation is a heavy target volume but decreased efficiency.
Do not give up on Marquise Brown after two bad games with Kyler Murray. His average depth of target has been at least 17 yards in both games (incredibly high), and he could get more manufactured touches against the Rams to get him going this week.
Zay Flowers and Odell Beckham Jr. should combine for around 50 percent of the Ravens' targets this week with Mark Andrews sidelined due to an ankle injury.
Amari Cooper should not be started in fantasy with QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson (DTR) at the helm. DTR has thrown for fewer than 170 yards and four yards per pass attempt in both of his starts.

T.J. Hockenson’s target share is in the mid 30s when Justin Jefferson is out, but just in the low 20s in games alongside him. However, QB Joshua Dobbs trusts Hockenson and has never thrown to Jefferson in game action before. At least for this week, Hockenson could be the lead target in Minnesota.
George Kittle has at least 20 fantasy points in three consecutive games, and he appears to be ahead of Deebo Samuel in the receiving pecking order.
David Njoku is the only Cleveland Browns receiver benefitting from their quarterback struggles. The team continues to manufacture touches for him, and his target share has crested 21 percent in five straight. This span has also seen him reach double-digit fantasy points in every game.
Isaiah Likely has averaged just eight yards per game this season, and he should not be expected to take on the “Mark Andrews role” until we see it happen. Fortunately for him, the Chargers have given up the most passing yards per game to opponents at the highest yards per pass attempt.
Hunter Henry is a viable tight end streamer against the Giants. Henry has averaged more than eight fantasy points per game in the three games since WR Kendrick Bourne’s ACL injury. The ceiling is low, but the floor is solid enough for those wanting something at the position.

Top 12 Fantasy Defenses

Rank	Name	Opp	Opp Total
1	Dallas Cowboys	WAS	18.75
2	Miami Dolphins	NYJ	15
3	San Francisco 49ers	SEA	18.25
4	Kansas City Chiefs	LV	17
5	Detroit Lions	GB	20
6	New England Patriots	NYG	15
7	Pittsburgh Steelers	CIN	16.75
8	Denver Broncos	CLE	16.5
9	Cleveland Browns	DEN	19
10	New York Giants	NE	18.5
11	Tennessee Titans	CAR	16.75
12	Philadelphia Eagles	BUF	22

Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Vic Fangio’s unit has been ascending while Jalen Ramsey is playing some of the best football of his career. You get to bet against Tim Boyle in Miami’s matchup against the New York Jets.
You’re playing the San Francisco 49ers defense regardless of who starts at quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. But if it’s Drew Lock, the chances of this becoming a slate-breaking option are abnormally high.
With the New England Patriots defense, ultimately, you’re betting on Bill Belichick, coming off a bye, against a volatile rookie quarterback in Tommy DeVito. Belichick’s defenses have thrived in this type of situation over the years.
Cincinnati’s offensive line is better today than it was on opening day. That said, you still get to bet against Jake Browning if you have the Pittsburgh Steelers defense.
With the Tennessee Titans defense, you’re betting on their high-quality pass rush against struggling rookie QB Bryce Young.
The Philadelphia Eagles defense doesn’t have a great matchup against the desperate Buffalo Bills, but Josh Allen is tied for the league lead in interceptions.
