The Top RBs To Start in Week 12

Jaylen Warren, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers

Pittsburgh Steelers RB Jaylen Warren has been on an absolute tear over the last three games.

He has a minimum of 88 yards rushing — which includes two straight 100-yard rushing performances — and has two rushing scores in consecutive games.

The Cincinnati Bengals offense may struggle to sustain drives with the loss of QB Joe Burrow under center, which could open the door for a favorable game script for the red-hot Warren in Week 12.

Jerome Ford, RB, Cleveland Browns

It wasn’t pretty for Jerome Ford or the Cleveland Browns offense in Week 11 against the Steelers, but he did manage to find pay dirt for the first time since Week 7 to save his fantasy day in a winning effort.

Ford has seen 10+ carries in all but two games this entire season and continues to be a focal point of the Browns’ offensive game plan on a weekly basis. While the Denver Broncos defense has certainly been much better over the last three weeks, Denver has still given up over 170 rushing yards in two consecutive games, which means Ford is still a quality RB2 option for Week 12.
