Who should I start for Week 12? Fantasy football outlooks for D'Andre Swift, Justice Hill, Zach Charbonnet. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
Week 12 is shaping up to be one of the toughest weeks of the fantasy football season, with six teams on bye and rosters stretched to the limit. Success this week will hinge on finding value in players who might not typically make your starting lineup but have the potential to step up when it matters most. It’s all about maximizing matchups and uncovering those hidden gems that could make a difference.
This week, we’re focusing on D'Andre Swift, Justice Hill, and Zach Charbonnet—three running backs in very different situations but with intriguing potential for Week 12. Whether Swift’s dynamic dual-threat ability, Hill’s role as a pass-catching weapon, or Charbonnet’s upside despite limited touches, each brings a mix of risk and reward that fantasy managers need to weigh carefully heading into this crucial slate of games.
With so many reliable options unavailable this week, balancing consistency with upside is the key. Swift, Hill, and Charbonnet each offer unique paths to fantasy production depending on your league format and roster needs. Whether you’re fighting for a playoff spot or solidifying your dominance, let’s dive into what these three backs bring to the table for Week 12.
Should I Start D'Andre Swift for Fantasy Football?
D’Andre Swift’s grip on the Bears’ backfield appears to be slipping. According to Derek Brown of FantasyPros, last week, Swift played just 54% of the snaps and handled 59% of the rushing plays but only 29% of the red zone work. Meanwhile, Roschon Johnson saw a 71% snap rate inside the red zone, and if that trend continues, it could spell trouble for Swift’s touchdown upside moving forward.
Despite these concerns, Swift is still the RB19 in fantasy, averaging 18.3 touches and 87.8 total yards per game. In Week 11, he posted a solid 16 touches for 84 total yards.
Giants WR Malik Nabers (groin), Bears RB D’Andre Swift (groin) and Bears WR Keenan Allen (ankle) – all of whom are listed as questionable – all have said they plan to play Sunday.

Given the other two running backs in this article, Swift is probably still the best pick of the three for fantasy in Week 12.
Should I Start Justice Hill for Fantasy Football?
Justice Hill suffered a concussion and couldn't suit up for practice on Thursday of this week. He's got some serious pass-catching chops, but given the fact this is Derrick Henry's backfield, Hill's upside remains limited.
Ravens RB Justice Hill is currently the #1 ranked receiving back in the league, per PFF.
Through 11 weeks:
- 31 targets
- 30 receptions
- 300 receiving yards
- 9.7 yards per reception
- 2 TD pic.twitter.com/HseQJXKqOx— Ravens Nation 𝙇𝙄𝙑𝙀 (@LIVERavenNation) November 22, 2024
Hill has seen double-digit touches in just one game this season. He is a valuable handcuff but nothing more in fantasy at this stage.
Should I Start Zach Charbonnet for Fantasy Football?
Zach Charbonnet has seen the Seattle Seahawks backfield completely taken over by fellow teammate Kenneth Walker III. Despite the two backs having nearly similar draft capital, KWIII is clearly the lead back in Seattle.

Charbs saw double-digit touches twice in Weeks 2-3 while KWIII was sidelined, but since Week 10, he's largely taken a backseat. "Charbs" hasn't seen double-digit touches in a game since Week 3 of the 2024 NFL season and remains nothing more than a handcuff at this point. Despite the uncertainty, Swift is guaranteed to see the most touches of the three backs in Week 12. Always follow the volume.
