Week 12: Survivor Pool Contests | NFL Fantasy Football Player Rankings

This week Falcons running back Jason Snelling will make for a sneaky play in survivor fantasy if Michael Turner is still out with his ankle injury. Another solid player should be Chiefs wide receiver Chris Chambers, and he returns to San Deigo and plays the Chargers.

Finding fantasy football players that aren't house hold names for productivity can help you win in all fantasy football formats.

Below we have our survivor pool rankings split into three sections, and they are studs, mid range and poor plays. We hope these survivor pool rankings help you choose those stud players you need this week for a successful start to the 2009 survivor fantasy season.
