Fantasy football owners can breathe a sigh of relief with the NFL bye weeks officially in the rear-view mirror.

Unfortunately, Week 11 featured a handful of significant injuries to running backs, forcing owners to turn to the waiver wire with the playoff stretch in full swing.
Take a look at the best running back options on the waiver wire for Week 12.
Lesean McCoy suffered a concussion on Sunday and appears to be a long shot to play on next Monday night when the Eagles take on the Panthers. Brown isn't just a plug-in backup, either. He has legitimate talent and should be able to step in and be productive.
Willis McGahee was also the victim of an injury this weekend. McGahee is going to miss 6-8 weeks, making his backup, Ronnie Hillman, a viable add in fantasy football. Hillman may be locked in a running back-by-committee situation, but the electrifying rookie should emerge as the most productive back.
Beanie Wells is set to return from the injured reserve this week and will resume work as Arizona's starting running back. The Cardinals take on the Rams in Week 12, so Wells should be able to make an immediate impact for fantasy owners.
