Week 12 of the fantasy football season presents a significant challenge with six teams on bye, pushing managers to consider unconventional players for their lineups. Key running backs Austin Ekeler, Ameer Abdullah, and J.K. Dobbins are under the spotlight as they navigate unique situations that could impact their performance.
Ekeler faces a favorable matchup against the Dallas Cowboys, known for struggling against pass-catching running backs. Despite sharing the backfield with Brian Robinson Jr., his dual-threat capability makes him a solid RB2 option.
Meanwhile, Ameer Abdullah has the chance for a heavy workload with the Raiders, but he faces a tough Denver Broncos defense, which complicates his potential output. J.K. Dobbins, on the other hand, confronts his former team, the Baltimore Ravens, in a challenging matchup that could limit his effectiveness. Managers must weigh these factors carefully as they finalize their lineups for a critical week.
