Welcome RotoBallers to Week 12, and a Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! We are back with our early fantasy football rankings for Week 12. It's a great week for NFL games and fantasy football teams, as we get an early jump on Thanksgiving games and many fantasy managers are approaching crunch time for their teams and playoff runs.
This week there are again two teams on bye, and injury situations to deal with as always that will affect our fantasy football rankings. For those who are not familiar, three of RotoBaller's lead fantasy football analysts - Nick Mariano, Pierre Camus and Brandon Murchison - put together their constantly-updated rankings each week, and you will find those rankings below.
