1. Bijan Robinson in 27.35% of the championship squads
Robinson saved his best game of the year for the fantasy finals (37.4 points) and was the leading scorer among non-quarterbacks in the fantasy playoffs. He is still one month away from turning 24; This plane just took off.

2. Christian McCaffrey (25.67%)
He was the RB4 for the fantasy playoffs and the RB1 for the entire season, the constant piece in a San Francisco offense that no one can stop right now.
3. Puka Nacua (24.01%)
He fell to a WR18 finish last week, right after the WR1, WR4, and WR1 lists. Nacua probably took you to the finals and then, hopefully, one of your teammates took over.
4. Harold Fannin Jr. (23.35%)
Despite very little help around him, Fannin stood out for the Browns all season. He scored touchdowns in four of his last five games and was the TE5 for the fantasy playoffs.
5.Michael Wilson (23.07%)
The Cardinals haven’t been able to fully unlock Marvin Harrison Jr., but Wilson has been a surprise star over the past two months. He was Fantasy’s WR4 over the past four weeks, averaging 14.5 per catch and scoring five times.

6. Chase Brown (22.99%)
Their season stabilized when Joe Flacco came to town, and then Brown left during Joe Burrow’s final segment of the year. Brown saved the best for last, RB2 and RB3 finish the last two weeks.
7. Chris Olave (22.73%)
Everything finally worked out for Olave in his fourth season: good health, decent training, quality QB play (eventually), and a delightfully tight target tree. Since Tyler Shough took over at quarterback, Olave is the fantasy WR4.
8. Henry Drilling Tower (22.71%)
He had over 100 rushing yards in all three playoff games, making up for zero in the passing game. And Henry’s 36-216-4 masterpiece in Green Bay in Week 17 was suitable for framing.

9. Brock Purdy (20.47%)
The 49ers became the Carnival team of 2025, the unstoppable offense that is also fueled by a leaky defense on the other side. Purdy scored 13 touchdowns in the last three weeks and the Niners punted just twice in all of December.
10. Trevor Lawrence (20.21%)
A friend of mine is buying Trevor Lawrence socks because TLaw took him to a championship. It is a validated purchase. Lawrence had at least one rushing touchdown in each of the last three weeks, and has been the fantasy QB2 for the last three months. Give them a sock.
