WK 12 - Top 2024 RBs
Dynasty has seasons and cycles where various positions gain prominence and take control of fantasy football. In 2024, the most dominant position by far has been Running Backs. In a league that worships QBs and their WR counterparts, the RB was regarded as a “dead” position that belonged in a museum alongside dinosaurs. But now the position has returned in a big way for this season. Carefully review the following runners vetted by our proven RB Program.

NFL Week 13 Fantasy Football Rankings - The Blueprint - by Hayden Winks
The Dossier
Week 12 Waiver Targets
The South Harmon Agency has more high-tier operatives gathering intel than ever before. Be sure to keep your channel open and collect data from the various sources as it comes in. In terms of FAAB bidding, review your league’s previous waiver behavior to navigate the wire best. The waiver wire will become more bare as the season continues, especially in best ball formats.

ReDraft (most of these players will be rostered in Dynasty leagues)
Roschon Johnson - 14% rostership, spend 10-12% FAAB (At 42% snap share in their latest contest and a goalline carry that he converted into 6 points, Roschon could provide value in a pinch should Swift suffer a future injury.)
Devaughn Vele - 6% rostership, 1-3% FAAB (Firmly entrenched as the #2 target behind Sutton, Vele has a safe floor on a Broncos offense that continues to outperform expectations with the rise of Bo Nix.)
Will Dissly - 29% rostership, spend 1-3% FAAB (The Chargers offense is clicking on all cylinders as one of the most balanced attacks in the league. If you need a backup TE to play for upcoming bye-weeks or in case of injury, Dissly offers solid upside as one of the top TEs in the league at YPRR, TPRR, and YAC.)
Kendrick Bourne - 3% rostership, spend 0-2% FAAB (It’s difficult to trust which WR in NE is going to have the most productive day between Bourne, Douglas, and Boutte, but Bourne has the most upside given his role as the team’s X-receiver and his prior production from seasons past. He only played on 47% of the snaps in their latest matchup, but should see more opportunities moving forward.)
Dynasty
Tommy DeVito - 20% rostership, 15-18% FAAB in Best Ball (He’s back as the Giants starter, and thank the Lord for it! Last season, DeVito gave fantasy owners 4 top 19 QB weeks, including the QB7 in week 11 of 2023. With an exploitable TB defense being his first matchup as the new signal caller, and Malik Nabers/Tyrone Tracy as his main weapons, DeVito offers more upside than the typical backup QB.)
