Fantasy Football Week 12 Rankings: Top 50 Players for Flex and PPR Formats
- Updated: November 22, 2016
Fantasy football players have plenty to juggle heading into Week 12, not the least of which is the ever-important flex decision.
However, a rash of injuries across the league and the three Thanksgiving games that will force earlier lineup decisions muddle things after Week 11. A number of surefire starters and candidates to fill the flex role will be out or playing at less than 100 percent.
Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis said wide receiver A.J. Green won’t play in Week 12 with a hamstring injury, while running back Giovani Bernard is done for the season with a torn ACL, per Paul Dehner Jr. of the Cincinnati Enquirer.
Elsewhere, the Indianapolis Colts announced quarterback Andrew Luck is in concussion protocol, which directly impacts the value of the team’s receivers. Chicago Bears coach John Fox said tight end Zach Miller broke a bone in his foot, per the team. The Philadelphia Eagles announced running backs Ryan Mathews (knee) and Darren Sproles (ribs) suffered injuries on Sunday.
At least fantasy owners can take solace knowing Ian Rapoport of NFL Network noted the Buffalo Bills weren’t too concerned about running back LeSean McCoy’s dislocated thumb. It wasn’t all good news from him, though, as Rapoport reported Seattle Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise is out until at least the playoffs with a scapula fracture.
With injuries and a quick Thursday turnaround looming, here is a look at the top 50 flex options for standard and point-per-reception leagues. Running backs, wide receivers and tight ends were considered flex options.
