MIAMI, Nov. 20 (UPI) — Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs lead my Top-50 fantasy football running back rankings for Week 12 of the 2025 season.

Saquon Barkley, Derrick Henry and TreVeyon Henderson join Robinson and Gibbs inside my Top 5. Kyren Williams, Christian McCaffrey, Javonte Williams, Jonathan Taylor and James Cook are my other Top-10 options.

My Week 12 wide receiver rankings can be found here. My waiver-wire and free agent targets for Week 12 are available here.

All of my positional rankings will be updated until Week 12 kickoffs. Players also will be moved out of or adjusted within the rankings based on injuries.

Be sure to monitor your lineups for injury developments. Players from the Denver Broncos, Los Angeles Chargers, Miami Dolphins and Washington Commanders, who are on bye, should not be in starting lineups.
