Fantasy Football Forbes List: Calvin Leading the Way on Turkey Day

QB Ranks | RB Ranks | WR Ranks | TE Ranks

 

UPDATED Saturday 11/26

Thanksgiving might just be the greatest holiday of the year.  The list of reasons why is long, but having tons of good food and football all day is all you need to make that determination.  Leading off the day are the 10-0 Green Bay Packers and 7-3 Detroit Lions in an NFC Central battle.  Expect a shootout, one in which Calvin Johnson puts up a monster day.  While the Packers might score 5-6 touchdowns (and schmucks Kuhn and Crabtree cockblock fantasy owners), Calvin Johnson hasn't scored a touchdown in his last 2 games.  The Packers' secondary has been very friendly to opposing wideouts this year, so Calvin Johnson owners are going to get their week 12 matchup off on the right foot.

The rankings are for PPR formats.  Feel free to hit my partner  and me () up on Twitter with standard league questions, or any other questions you may have.  You can also use and abuse the comments section below as well or shoot us an .
