Gambling911.com has your NFL Week 12 fantasy running backs picks that might not otherwise stand out unless we know some of the vital stats tied to a particular player. As always, the pricing plays as an important part as a player’s skills and stats (both long term and recent history).
The Cowboys DeMarco Murray may be a sure bet coming into Week 12 against the New York Giants, but you’ll have to pay a steep price to get him.
Cleveland’s Terrance West might be a good pick value-wise against Atlanta's 24th-ranked run defense even though his carries plummeted from 26 to five in one week.
And while we are still discussing the Browns, an even better pick might be Isaiah Crowell. The Falcons are tied for the most rushing scores allowed. Gamblers might want to look closely at Cleveland this week as a +3 road dog when we review the type of success their running backs might have.
The Packers front line allows the fifth-highest yards per attempt in the league and this bodes well for the Vikings Jerick McKinnon.
Detroit’s Joique Bell will go up against a New England defense allowing the 17th-most fantasy points per game to opposing backfields since Week 6. With Bell’s outstanding performance on the ground, in recent games, the fantasy value here is fantastic. It also brings into question whether New England should be a -7.5 favorite against Detroit.
St. Louis’ Tre Mason has been solid of late and will face a San Diego Chargers defense allowing 16 fantasy points per game to opposing backfields. It’s interesting to know that this Rams squad has permitted the ninth-fewest fantasy points per game. We’ll see if San Diego can cover the -5.5 spread against a Rams team that has demonstrated they can beat the best in the league (Denver, Seattle, San Francisco over the past five weeks).
