Fantasy Football Week 12 Running Back PPR Rankings: Which RBs Should You Start?

Running back rankings this week start with pain … you’re staring at injured studs and a set of byes when you need stability most. It hurts. J.K. Dobbins just hit injured reserve for the Denver Broncos, likely done for the year per ESPN, while Josh Jacobs is week-to-week with a knee issue for the Green Bay Packers. Bucky Irving remains uncertain, too.

You also lose De’Von Achane and RJ Harvey's Week 12 byes, along with Kimani Vidal and Jacory Croskey-Merritt. That’s a huge chunk of PPR volume off the board, so lean into clear workloads, prioritize healthy pass-catching roles, and be ready to churn the waiver wire if your depth feels thin.
