The 2025 Fantasy Football season has been full of surprises and unpredictability. Key players who were expected to excel are underperforming, injuries have disrupted team dynamics, and some players are making impressive comebacks. New breakout stars are emerging, and player roles are continuously shifting.
Each week provides new lessons. Keep pushing, no matter your record, as much can change in your league across the next few weeks. Keep in mind, Fantasy Football is a marathon, not a sprint. I’m here with the OG mission statement – to help you “Play 2 Win.” Let’s get it!

2025 Fantasy Football: Weekly Winners – Week 12
Jared Goff vs. NYG
Jared Goff has finished the last three weeks with 255+ passing yards and has produced 320+ yards twice this season. Goff has also finished six weeks with multiple passing touchdowns this season, with half of those throwing three or more touchdowns. Goff has finished with 20+ Fantasy Points three times, with five weeks under 13 Fantasy Points, showing some inconsistency this year for Fantasy.
The Lions will face a Giants defense in Week 12 that allows the third-most Fantasy PPG to quarterbacks and the 11th-most passing yards per game (225.2). This Giants matchup feels like a solid one for Goff to be on the positive side of Fantasy scoring for the week, given his weapons, who can take off in this game.
Jacoby Brissett vs. JAX
Through five games as the Cardinals’ starting quarterback, Jacoby Brissett is averaging 42.4 passing attempts, 28.4 completions, 314 passing yards, two passing touchdowns, 0.6 interceptions, 15.6 rushing yards, 0.2 rushing touchdowns, and 21.92 Fantasy Points. Not good production, but elite production, which has meant a top-12 Fantasy finish in each of Brissett’s starts. 47 completions last week was an NFL record, even with WR1 Marvin Harrison Jr. out of the mix due to injury.
The Cardinals will face a Jaguars defense that allows the fifth-most Fantasy PPG to quarterbacks and the seventh-most passing yards per game (236.9). With Brissett’s passing volume and production, he literally qualifies as a must-start in this matchup.
Matthew Stafford vs. TB
Matthew Stafford has displayed plenty of upside through the year at 37 years old, with five weeks of 280+ passing yards, two weeks of 375+ passing yards, eight weeks of multiple passing touchdowns, three weeks of four or more passing touchdowns, and five weeks over 25 Fantasy Points. This man has been absolutely slinging it this year.
The Rams will face the Buccaneers in Week 12, who allow the seventh-most Fantasy PPG to quarterbacks and the sixth-most passing yards per game (241.6) this season. The game script in this one should involve plenty through the air, so with that context on top of the matchup data, we should feel confident in Stafford for Fantasy Football this week.
TreVeyon Henderson vs. CIN
Rookie TreVeyon Henderson has been on absolute fire for Fantasy Football the last two weeks, with scores of 28 then 32.3 Fantasy Points. In Week 10, Hendo rushed 14 times for 147 yards and two touchdowns with a three-yard reception. In Week 11, Hendo rushed 19 times for 62 yards and two touchdowns with five receptions for 31 yards and a receiving touchdown. This is the dual-threat, explosive prospect we have wanted to see.
The Patriots will face a Bengals defense in Week 12 that allows the most Fantasy PPG to running backs and also the most rushing yards per game (160.9) this season. Rhamondre Stevenson has a chance to return, but with the recent huge games from Henderson on top of Rhamondre potentially not being 100% the rookie is a solid play this week for Fantasy.
Kenneth Walker III vs. TEN
The Seattle committee between Kenneth Walker III and Zach Charbonnet has been exhausting, especially with the times KWIII did the heavy lifting for Charbs to punch in a touchdown. After five straight weeks scoring under 10 Fantasy Points, KWIII showed signs of life with 20.1 points in Week 11. Walker rushed 16 times for 67 yards and a touchdown and caught three balls for 44 yards. 19 touches vs Charbonnet’s 13 that resulted in just 47 total yards. Walker now has six weeks with over 65 rushing yards and has scored 18+ Fantasy Points three times.
The Seahawks will face a Titans defense in Week 12 that allows the seventh-most Fantasy PPG to running backs and also the seventh-most rushing yards per game (134.7). The Seahawks should beat up on the Titans, and I expect this game not to be super competitive, which should open up plenty of rushing opportunities for Walker.
Alvin Kamara vs. ATL
Before the Saints’ Week 11 BYE, Alvin Kamara rushed 22 times for 83 yards with three receptions for another 32 yards, which was 14.5 Fantasy Points. Back in Week 2, Kamara rushed for 99 yards on 21 carries and caught six balls for 21 yards, which was 16 Fantasy Points. Outside of these two games, the number of Fantasy productive weeks is bleak, but I am hoping that Week 10 with rookie Tyler Shough at quarterback could mean better days ahead for the veteran running back.
The Saints will face a Falcons defense in Week 12 that allows the fourth-most Fantasy PPG to running backs and the fifth-most rushing yards per game (142.6) this season. Kamara has a chance to have another productive Fantasy week and continue upward in the right direction.
Travis Etienne Jr. vs. AZ
Travis Etienne Jr. has scored 15+ Fantasy Points now for three straight weeks, and six times across the full year. Etienne rushed 19 times for 73 yards and two touchdowns in Week 11 for 19.3 Fantasy Points. Etienne has totaled three rushing touchdowns across the last two weeks and has rushed for over 70 yards in two of his last three games.
The Jaguars will face a Cardinals defense in Week 12 that allows the ninth-most Fantasy PPG to running backs and has allowed a pair of rushing touchdowns in each of their last two games. There may be some hesitation in playing Etienne due to Bhayshul Tuten earning more work. Still, with the consistency of Etienne’s Fantasy production and the favorable matchup, he continues to be a solid play.
AJ Brown vs. DAL
AJ Brown has had a rollercoaster of a season for Fantasy Football, with five weeks under 10 Fantasy Points and just two weeks of 22+ Fantasy Points. AJ Brown has voiced his frustrations multiple times this year, even though the Eagles are winning games. In Week 11, Brown finished with season-highs in targets (11) and receptions (seven) but finished with just 49 yards. The usage was encouraging, and could be a sign of more to come.
The Eagles get a rematch with the Cowboys in Week 12, who are allowing the most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the third-most receiving yards per game (249.9) this season. While Brown had a horrible Fantasy day in this Week 1 matchup, last week’s sign on top of what this game script can look like makes him a guy I want in my Fantasy lineup. Especially with Brown’s history of upside for Fantasy Football.
Rashee Rice vs. IND
Rashee Rice scored a mediocre 9.8 Fantasy Points in Week 11, but Week 12 is set up nicely for a bounce-back game. Rice earned nine targets in Week 11 and has earned that or more in three of his four games played this year. Rice finished with 93/80 yards in Weeks 8/9, scored three touchdowns across Weeks 7/8, and ranged from 18.6-25.5 Fantasy Points Weeks 7-9.
The Chiefs will face the 8-2 Colts, whose defense allows the 10th-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the eighth-most passing yards per game this season. The game script should emphasize Mahomes passing plenty in this one, and I trust plenty of volume to go to Rice, who will get back on track for Fantasy Football.
Jameson Williams vs. NYG
Jameson Williams has caught fire for Fantasy Football the last three weeks with scores of 16.6, 23.9, and then 19.7 Fantasy Points. Jamo has averaged 6.67 targets, 4.67 receptions, 91 receiving yards, and one touchdown during this span. Williams has always felt inconsistent, so this stretch of games should make managers feel confident in him being in Fantasy lineups.
The Lions will face a Giants defense in Week 12 that allows the sixth-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the 11th-most passing yards per game. Riding the hot hand for Fantasy Football is a cliche I am buying into when it comes to Williams, who my great friend “Commissioner Breeze” deemed a “league winner” via text to me before Week 11.
Tetairoa McMillan vs. SF
Tetairoa McMillan had his biggest game of his rookie campaign in Week 11, catching eight of his 12 targets for 130 yards and two touchdowns, which was 33 Fantasy Points. This was TMac’s third game with double-digit targets, second game with 100+ receiving yards, second game scoring a pair of touchdowns, and fourth week of 16+ Fantasy Points.
The Panthers will face a 49ers defense in Week 12 that allows the seventh-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the fifth-most passing yards per game this season. I expect TMac to continue earning a very high target share, and this matchup gives him a boost to stay hot for Fantasy Football.
Wan’Dale Robinson vs. DET
Wan’Dale Robinson’s 88 targets put him at eighth for the position on the year, and while his Fantasy production is not massive, he has had plenty of useful weeks. Three weeks of 15+ Fantasy Points, and two weeks of 20+ Fantasy Points, is a glimpse of the possibility for the reliable slot outlet who is a vital piece of the Giants offense. Jaxson Dart is likely back this week, which is a boost to Robinson.
The Giants will face a Lions defense that allows the 12th-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers, and the game script in this matchup should mean plenty of passing, which should translate to plenty of volume for Robinson. Robinson is a FLEX play this week.
Adonai Mitchell vs. BAL
Adonai Mitchell was traded to the Jets after Week 9 and instantly earned six targets from Justin Fields in Week 11. The Jets have pivoted to Tyrod Taylor for Week 12, and I expect Mitchell to be a big piece of this passing offense with Garrett Wilson on the IR. Mitchell is a field-stretcher who has big-play upside, making him a dart throw in deep leagues for Week 12.
The Jets will face a Ravens defense that allows the ninth-most Fantasy PPG to wide receivers and the ninth-most passing yards per game. AD is my sleeper pick for the week as a guy who can again see decent volume with the ability to make big plays in a game the Jets are likely going to chase.
Hunter Henry vs. CIN
Hunter Henry caught four of his six targets in Week 11 for 45 yards. Week 11 was the fifth time Henry has produced 45+ receiving yards. Henry has the second-most targets on the Patriots, making him an important piece of an offense led by Drake Maye, who is playing like an MVP candidate.
The Patriots will face the Bengals in Week 12, who allow the most Fantasy PPG to tight ends by a wide margin and the second-most passing yards per game. Even with Ja’Marr Chase sidelined due to suspension, Joe Flacco and company will create a game script that should provide plenty of passing in the best tight end matchup.
Colston Loveland vs. PIT
Colston Loveland had his breakout game back in Week 9, catching six of his seven targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns, which was 29.8 Fantasy Points. Loveland would go on to produce 55 and 40 yards on eight total targets the next two weeks. The first-round rookie still has Cole Kmet as competition, but the upside flash is undeniable.
The Bears will face a Steelers defense in Week 12 that allows the sixth-most Fantasy PPG to tight ends and the most passing yards per game this season. Loveland has finished three straight weeks with 13+ yards per catch, but this is a game where the volume can rise, which could be a solid Fantasy week.
