Week 12 Fantasy Football RB preview

Imagn Images

Over the past two weeks, TreVeyon Henderson has scored 60.3 PPR Fantasy points, good for number two at the position. For the season, Travis Etienne has scored 142.9 PPR Fantasy points, good for RB12 on the season. They both have an easy matchup. It’s probably strange, then, that I have to rank them as two of the hardest backs in Week 12. Rhamondre will be returning from his toe injuries in Week 12. Stevenson’s health allowed Henderson to have only a quarter of the rushes in the first nine weeks. It’s tempting to think that Henderson is now so much more superior that Stevenson can take a step back. Henderson was the best three months ago and it didn’t matter much until Stevenson injured himself. I’m projecting a split of about 50/50, making Henderson a high potential RB2 just outside my top 20. Dave and Jamey are more confident in Vrabel, placing Henderson in the top 13 for running backs this week. Etienne has been the leading back most of the year, but there were signs that things might be changing in Week 11. Tuten’s rush share at halftime was 47.1%, while Etienne’s was 35.3%. Tuten scored the team’s 1st touchdown and played more efficiently. Etienne’s second half was solid, but Tuten had an ankle injury and we expect him to play next week. We have no reason to believe that Etienne can lead the team on rushing. Etienne ranks just above Tuten. At this stage of the season you may have no choice but to start Henderson or Etienne. This week, it looks like running back may be the position you have more options. I’ve got 30 backs who are projected to score double-digit Fantasy PPR points this week. Several of them are on the waiver wire. Before you claim your waivers, make sure to read the section below.

The numbers you need to know

Bhayshul Tuten played 46.4% and Travis Etienne played 81.8% offensive snaps each in Week 11’s first half. Walker’s second-highest touch total this season was 19 last week. Mike MacDonald stated that Walker is getting more opportunities. Kareem hunt’s 50% success rates amongst qualified runners ranks second only behind James Cook. He could be a borderline running back 2 after the Dolphins’ Week 12 bye. Rhamondre Steveson is ranked 32nd, with a 2.89. Woody Marks’ 35 touches during the past two week are impressive. He’ll have another great matchup Thursday against Buffalo. I hope he takes full advantage. Gainwell would be a great start if Jaylen Warren missed Week 12.
