If your plate isn’t filled with football over the Thanksgiving weekend, it’s your own fault. With games Thursday, Friday, Sunday and Monday, there will be ample opportunities for fantasy managers to watch their players perform.
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.
