10 RB sleepers to target for fantasy football Week 12

4. Kareem Hunt – Cleveland Browns

Finally, Kareem Hunt is expected to return to the lineup. For those who kept Hunt on their bench or in their IR spot, this is the week you’ve been waiting for. The Browns have Chubb and Hunt on the roster for the first time since Week 5. The Browns are trying to build their offense around the running game. They finally have all the right pieces in place.

Hunt has been raring to go for a couple of weeks, and now that he’s getting cleared, he will come off the blocks. They are facing the Ravens in a rivalry game. He had 10 catches over two games against the Ravens last season. He added two touchdowns against the Ravens last season and a total of 188 yards between the two games. Hunt is very effective against the Ravens in the past. Expect another useful game against them this season.

3. Elijah Mitchell – San Francisco 49ers

The San Francisco 49ers running game has been rough this season. Those who drafted Trey Sermon in fantasy understand. The team just doesn’t pick one running back and stick with them despite spending important assets on the running back position. We’ve been burned before, but like Michael Scott once said, we are ready to get hurt again.

Mitchell missed last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 49ers used Deebo Samuel as a running back with so many injuries at the position, and he ran for 79 yards and a touchdown on just 8 carries. This week, Mitchell is back at the position and the 49ers should go a little more conventional against the Minnesota Vikings.
