Week 12 fantasy rankings: Lions’ offensive juggernaut keeps rolling

Perhaps the city of Detroit should be nicknamed ‘Go-Town’ instead, considering how the first-place Lions don’t seem to be taking their feet off the accelerator anytime soon.

The 9-1 Lions hit the 50-point mark for the second time this season in Week 11, as their offensive stars racked up the fantasy points by playing almost the entire game. Next up: The Indianapolis Colts.

ON BYE: Atlanta, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Jacksonville, New Orleans, New York Jets

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.

Alexander Mattison left Sunday’s game early with an ankle injury. Zamir White (quad) was also forced out, leaving Ameer Abdullah as the Raiders’ potential starter this week. Keep an eye on their practice participation.

Mike Evans (hamstring) was spotted on the field at practice on Monday and is set to make his return after a three-game absence.
Jordan Addison (leg) left Sunday’s game early due to cramping. He’s expected to be OK to face the Bears.
