It is now time to take a look at the top fantasy player at every fantasy position from week 12. We are featuring one quarterback, one running back, one wide receiver, one tight end and one kicker.

Quarterback–Jameis Winston

In the most exciting game of the weekend, the Detroit Lions beat the New York Giants 34-27. Pro Bowl quarterback Jameis Winston  was exceptional in a losing cause. He completed 18 of 36 passes for 366 passing yards and two touchdowns, and had four rushes for 13 yards for the Giants. However, Winston also had his first career touchdown catch. It was 33 yards from wide receiver Gunner Olszewski.

Running back–Jahmyr Gibbs

Staying with the same game, we saw excellence from Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs of Dalton, Georgia. Gibbs had 15 rushes for 219 rushing yards and two touchdowns, along with 11 catches for 45 receiving yards and a touchdown catch. It was Gibbs who was the overtime hero as he had a 69 yard touchdown rush in extra time to give the Lions the win.

Wide receiver–Jaxon Smith-Njigba

Smith-Njigba of Nacogdoches, Texas continued his great season in a 30-24 Seahawks win over the Tennessee Titans. He had eight catches for 167 receiving yards and two touchdowns. The major scores from Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold were for 13 and 63 yards. The 167 receiving yards were the most receiving yards Smith-Njgba has ever had in a Seahawks win.

Tight End–Hunter Henry

The Partriots are rolling in the AFC East. On Sunday, we saw greatness from New England Patriots tight end Hunter Henry of Little Rock, Arkansas. Henry had seven catches for 115 receiving yards and a touchdown in a 26-20 Patriots win over the Cincinnati Bengals. At 10-2, New England has the best record in the NFL.

Kicker–Andy Borregales

Keeping with our Patriots theme, Borregales was not only the top kicker of the week, but the top rookie too. He made four field goals to help the Patriots continue their great 2025 season.
