RB1: Jamaal Williams, Detroit Lions ($6,000)

The league leader in rushing touchdowns through 12 games isn’t Derrick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, or Nick Chubb, it’s Jamaal Williams. Surprisingly being used over D’Andre Swift, who has been constantly banged up all season, Williams has had a potentially league-winning season, as he ranks as the overall RB12 on the year.

The Detroit Lions offense hasn’t been bad at all. In fact, for a while, they were ranked right up there with the Kansas City Chiefs in several offensive stats. Williams has been a big reason for that, and the coaching staff in Detroit has shown no signs of slowing down his 10+ carry-a-week workload.

Williams takes on the shaky run defense of the Jacksonville Jaguars, and his solidified workload and near-guarantee for a touchdown makes him a strong option in Week 13.

RB2: Dameon Pierce, Houston Texans ($5,900)

Dameon Pierce continues to be the lone bright spot on a rather abysmal Houston Texans offense. His 788 rushing yards rank eighth in the league, and he’s played himself onto the shortlist for Offensive Rookie of the Year. Fantasy-wise, he’s the RB18 on the season. Not bad for a late-round sleeper.

Pierce take on the Cleveland Browns this week, who allow the second-most fantasy points per game to running backs. With the Texans unable to solve their quarterback issue, expect their offense to continue to operate through Pierce, making him another strong option at running back.
