Week 12 Fantasy Football Rankings: Biggest Point Producers at Every Position

Gobble gobble.

Well, Turkey Day has come and gone, with the Green Bay Packers asserting their dominance on the Detroit Lions, the Baltimore Ravens defeating the San Francisco 49ers in a slugfest and the Dallas Cowboys proving they are still an inconsistent team with a one-point win over the lowly Miami Dolphins.

Now it's time to give you the biggest fantasy producers at every position for Week 12, Post-Thanksgiving Edition.

In Week 11, the biggest fantasy producers at their respective position were: quarterback Matthew Stafford, receiver Jordy Nelson, running back Kevin Smith, tight end Rob "The Big" Gronkowski and kicker David Akers.

Here are the biggest fantasy producers for Week 12.

Eat 'em up, folks!

QB: Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

In Week 11, Cam Newton, continuing an unreal fantasy season, racked up 28 fantasy points at the Detroit Lions.

What made this so amazing was he actually threw four interceptions in that game.

But he also threw for 280 yards and a touchdown and ran for 37 yards and two touchdowns.

The reality of the matter is, with dual-threat quarterbacks like Newton, they can have huge fantasy days on the ground alone.

But Newton will have a huge day on the ground and through the air against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 12.

The Colts are giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season and they've been pretty bad against the pass all season long, giving up 19 passing touchdowns (tied for the most allowed in the league).

Start Newton, and watch him explode.

RB: Matt Forte, Chicago Bears

Matt Forte faces the Oakland Raiders in Week 12, a team giving up the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season.

Now, Forte hasn't been spectacular lately, being held to under 85 yards in each of the past two games, but he still leads the NFL in yards from scrimmage and he's not a guy you simply dismiss because of a couple of down weeks.

On top of this, with quarterback Jay Cutler out for the Bears, you can bet the Bears will run a lot. Backup Caleb Hanie has attempted a grand total of 14 passes in his NFL career.

Look for a heavy dose of Forte to fortify your point production (see what I did there?).

WR: Steve Smith, Carolina Panthers

Given I expect Cam Newton to have a field day against the Colts, it's safe to expect a lot of those passes to go Steve Smith's way.

Smith has 992 yards receiving and five touchdowns this season, and he's facing a Colts defense that is allowing the second-most fantasy points to receivers this season.

By the time this game is over, the Colts will be having nightmares of Newton and Smith.

TE: Jimmy Graham, New Orleans Saints

As much as I want to give this week to The Big Gronkowski, second-year pro Jimmy Graham is pretty darn good, too, and he faces a New York Giants defense that is giving up the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends in the last five weeks.

You add the fact that this game is being played in New Orleans, and Graham is going to be golden for your fantasy team.

K: Robbie Gould, Chicago Bears

Speaking of golden, Robbie Gould has been nearly perfect this season, missing two field goals in 23 attempts.

He's averaging the fourth-most fantasy points among kickers and, given quarterback Jay Cutler will be out for the Bears and Caleb Hanie will be under center, I expect the Bears to kick many more field goals this week against the Raiders.

Until next time, good luck this week, everyone!
