"Position recap: Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen led in fantasy points, even while sitting Week 18, and he enjoyed his third consecutive season with at least 12 rushing touchdowns. ... Sophomore Drake Maye was a surprise No. 2 finisher, with the 23-year-old edging out another surprise, mostly undrafted 37-year-old Matthew Stafford (leader in passing yards, passing TDs). Every year is the year to fade top quarterbacks, but especially this year."
"Trevor Lawrence (finally) was a December star, and he finished fourth in QB scoring, thanks in part to nine rushing scores. ... Injuries knocked top-5 QB ADP selections Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow off track, forcing managers to invest in the forgotten Daniel Jones and Jacoby Brissett. It worked out, at least for a while."
Each NFL week produced surprises that altered fantasy decisions and shaped projections for the next season. All fantasy point mentions refer to PPR formats. Buffalo Bills star Josh Allen led fantasy scoring while sitting Week 18 and recorded a third straight season with at least 12 rushing touchdowns. Sophomore Drake Maye finished as a surprise No. 2, edging 37-year-old Matthew Stafford, who led in passing yards and passing touchdowns. Patrick Mahomes dealt with a knee injury after averaging 20 points per game and posting career-high rushing numbers. Trevor Lawrence finished fourth largely due to nine rushing touchdowns. Injuries derailed Lamar Jackson, Jayden Daniels and Joe Burrow, prompting managers to rely on Daniel Jones and Jacoby Brissett. Rehabbing Patrick Mahomes is expected to return early, play all 17 games and surpass 4,000 passing yards while not repeating his 2025 rushing output.
