7 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 12
J.D. McKissic, RB, Seattle Seahawks
The Seattle Seahawks are shockingly thin at running back now compared to how it looked like things would shape up at the start of the season. J.D. McKissic is now starting to take over as the top dog.
He played 68% of the team's offensive snaps last week, which is the most that any of the team's backs have played in a game this season. The only other back to crack even 60% was Chris Carson all the way back in Week 2. McKissic also saw season-highs in both carries (7) and targets (6) in Week 11.
He draws a terrific matchup this week against the San Francisco 49ers, who struggle against both the run and the pass (ranking 28th in Adjusted Defensive NEP per play) while allowing the league's most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. McKissic shouldn't have much trouble turning his workload into production in this one.
