Fantasy RB committee shuffle: Changing roles and usage trends ahead of Week 12

A crowded backfield can quickly diminish a running back's Fantasy value. And before you try and determine which running back will receive the bulk of the carries moving forward, you need to see SportsLine Fantasy analyst Matt Franciscovich's breakdown of some of the most fluid running back committees heading into Week 12. 

Franciscovich, spent four seasons at NFL Network as on-camera talent and as a writer/editor, appearing on NFL Fantasy Live, Fantasy & Friends, and NFL Pick'Em. You might remember him best as one of the 'Fantasy Hipsters,' a segment that was nominated for FSWA "Best Video" award in 2016. He's also a featured contributor of the Fantasy Football Black Book, which has spent ample time at No. 1 in Fantasy books on Amazon in 2018 and 2019. Now, Franciscovich is a Content Strategist at EA Sports, focusing on Madden NFL, while continuing to dish out Fantasy takes for SportsLine. He has years of experience handing out league-winning advice, so if there's anybody who can help you win your league, it's him. 

One thing we can tell you heading into Week 12: Franciscovich says Lions running back Bo Scarbrough is shaping up as a solid Fantasy option.

"Detroit are 3.5-point road favorites in Washington this week, so Scarbrough, if used as the team's primary back again, could produce another solid outing for fantasy owners in need," Franciscovich told SportsLine. "The Redskins rank in the bottom-10 in terms of limiting FPPG allowed to RBs this season, because they're averaging 12.5 points per game as a team, meaning opponents are facing positive game scripts most of the time, and run the ball more often as a result."

Franciscovich has also identified another running back who looks poised for a bounce-back and has made the call on what owners should do with San Francisco's crowded backfield.

So which running backs can you trust in Week 12? And which running back's arrow is pointing up heading into Week 12? ... Join SportsLine now to see Matt Franciscovich's analysis, all from one of the top Fantasy football analysts in the nation!
