          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: Neither the Baltimore Ravens nor fantasy managers are getting the Lamar Jackson they are used to. Jackson scored a mere 6.54 points on Thanksgiving night in a blowout loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, his third consecutive single-digit fantasy outing. Yeah, something is amiss. Jackson falls to the back end of the top 10, just one spot ahead of Jayden Daniels (elbow), who seems likely to return to action in Week 14 or soon after. In other news, Jacoby Brissett moves closer to stunning QB1 status, Daniel Jones and Sam Darnold -- both so good for so long this season -- slide further away from it, and perhaps Tyrod Taylor really can help us.

          Stephania Bell: Bijan Robinson is Atlanta's lone fantasy bright spot

          Field Yates, Daniel Dopp and Stephania Bell explain why Bijan Robinson's fantasy dominance has no end in sight.

          Rankings changes: There is a minor adjustment in the top 5 as Bijan Robinson slides past Jonathan Taylor, based on recent results. Christian McCaffrey remains the top option, despite his untimely bye this week. Chase Brown and Bucky Irving, healthy and thriving, return to RB1 status. Rico Dowdle concerns us a bit. Rookie RJ Harvey joins the top 20. Kyle Monangai, Jordan Mason, Chuba Hubbard and Chris Rodriguez Jr. are more interesting today than they were a week ago. We await further word on the health of Aaron Jones Sr. and Alvin Kamara.

          Why JSN is Stephania Bell's fantasy loser of Week 13

          Stephania Bell breaks down Jaxon Smith-Njigba's fantasy struggles in the Seahawks' Week 13 shutout against the Vikings.

          Rankings changes: Quarterback play can dictate wide receiver rankings. Ja'Marr Chase had a big Week 13 because his QB is healthy enough to play well. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, in part due to his QB, but also game script, did not have a big Week 13. The top spot switches. Meanwhile, the hierarchy of the Los Angeles Rams receivers also switches, as Davante Adams scores touchdowns every week. Amon-Ra St. Brown (ankle) may miss a week or two, but he remains in the top 10. Speaking of QB play, Justin Jefferson and DK Metcalf must leave the top 20, and Michael Pittman Jr. is on his way. It's not all their fault. It rarely is.

          Tight end

          Is Kyle Pitts a good fantasy option for Week 14?

          Daniel Dopp breaks down why Kyle Pitts is a TE2 option in Week 14 against the Seahawks.

          Rankings changes: The big names were mostly the big scorers in Week 13, though Brenton Strange was due for a ratings bump to TE1 territory. Zach Ertz, Evan Engram and constant statistical tease Kyle Pitts Sr. edge back into the top 20. Cade Otton and David Njoku edge on out. Two top-10 tight ends are on bye in Week 14.
