| 2 | Will ShipleyRB · PHI | @ DALSmash spot | speculative | 4% | Sits directly behind Saquon Barkley with 62% of that workload transferring. Philadelphia's line makes any starter behind it startable. |

Planning week 12
Claims are decided before the matchup, so read this board on Tuesday and set your bid before you know how anyone else feels about the name. The score behind each player is the same one used all season — value over replacement adjusted for the defense he faces — which means a player can be a must-add in week 12 and a bench hold two weeks later without anything about him changing.
If a bye week is thinning your lineup, fill the hole from the drop list first: moving a player you were never going to start is cheaper than winning a bidding war.
