Why fantasy managers should stick with Matthew Stafford (0:41)

Stephania Bell reacts to Matthew Stafford's hot stretch in fantasy football. (0:41)

Each week, Eric Karabell ranks players by position based on their fantasy football value for the rest of the 2025 season. Use the information to optimize the players for their future potential and/or to gauge their value in trade. Eric's top 100 can be found below the positions in this column.

Quarterback

Rankings changes: Wily veteran Matthew Stafford continues to amaze, as he seeks his fourth consecutive game with four or more touchdown passes. Stafford rises to the edge of our top five, while inconsistent Bo Nix, coming off a rough fantasy game against the Raiders, leaves the top 10. Nix still ranks a spot ahead of awesome rookie Jaxson Dart (concussion), who could miss Week 11 and more for the last-place Giants. Jordan Love, scoring in single digits in consecutive weeks, slides several spots, too.

Meanwhile, surprisingly productive backups Marcus Mariota and Jacoby Brissett rise to superflex consideration. Kyler Murray (foot) is droppable. Jayden Daniels (elbow), however, edges back into the rankings in case the 3-7 Commanders decide his season is not yet over. Finally, Nix, Drake Maye, Daniel Jones and Justin Herbert are among the valuable quarterbacks yet to serve their bye week. Plan for this inevitability.

Matt Bowen: TreVeyon Henderson is a difference-maker

Matt Bowen shows TreVeyon Henderson love after a tremendous Week 10.

Rankings changes: Jonathan Taylor, after scoring 49.6 points in Week 10, again swaps places with Christian McCaffrey for positional hierarchy. Note that McCaffrey serves his bye in Week 14, with Taylor off this week. There are other changes in the top 10, as slumping Bijan Robinson and James Cook III slide out of the top five. Robinson has scored only two rushing touchdowns this season. Cook has reached 14 fantasy points in one of the past five games.

Running back rankings are mostly fluid after that, though Alvin Kamara (and his rejuvenated volume) appears back on track. Rising rookies Woody Marks and TreVeyon Henderson warrant better volume moving forward as well. Tyjae Spears and Tyler Allgeier are involved. Trey Benson might be soon. We thank Jordan Mason, Chuba Hubbard and Kenneth Gainwell for their early-season contributions, as they keep sliding in the rankings.

Why Justin Jefferson is Stephania Bell's fantasy loser of Week 10

Stephania Bell voices her frustration with Justin Jefferson's fantasy season despite being the top receiver for the Vikings.

Rankings changes: Most of the top wide receivers from Week 10 are universally rostered options, save for Jalen Nailor. However, Justin Jefferson, with another disappointing game, finally slides out of the top 10. Jefferson has two touchdowns this season, compared with Drake London and his four scores in the past two games. Revitalized Ladd McConkey might pass Jefferson soon as well. Rome Odunze is back in the top 20. Eagles DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown finally swap places. Brown has topped 14 points in two games this season.

Garrett Wilson (knee) is the big WR faller, as he might miss several weeks or more for the last-place Jets. Michael Pittman Jr. slides, but he retains WR2 status. Jameson Williams and Stefon Diggs return to WR3 range. Alec Pierce, Parker Washington, Tez Johnson, Jayden Higgins and veteran Mack Hollins look interesting.

Why Dalton Schultz is a starting fantasy TE for now

Daniel Dopp has Dalton Schultz as a top-12 fantasy TE in Week 11 vs. the Titans.

Rankings changes: Surprising Dalton Schultz, with double-digit points in four of five games, enters the top 10. Juwan Johnson, with four consecutive outings of 10 or more points but serving a bye this week, might get there, too, along with Theo Johnson, who continues to rise. Dalton Kincaid (hamstring) and Oronde Gadsden II (quadriceps) each fall a bit.
