Week 12 of the 2025 fantasy football season delivered explosive performances, unexpected dips and a few worrying injury concerns. Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs produced an unforgettable display, while several star players — including Jonathan Taylor, Justin Jefferson and Lamar Jackson — posted surprisingly low totals.
Here is a detailed breakdown of the biggest winners and losers from Week 12 across the league.
 Week 12 Fantasy Winners
1. Jahmyr Gibbs, RB – Detroit Lions
Detroit’s star running back produced the best fantasy performance of the 2025 season so far.
Key Highlights:
Scored 55.4 fantasy points, the highest single-game score this year.
Delivered a 69-yard game-winning touchdown in overtime vs the New York Giants.
Rushed for 145 more yards than expected, according to Next Gen Stats.
Now has three games of 36+ points in the past five weeks.
Averaging 6.1 yards per carry, his best season yet.
Gibbs is shaping up to be a league-winning player for managers heading into the fantasy playoffs.
2. Jaxon Smith-Njigba, WR – Seattle Seahawks
Smith-Njigba dominated the early Sunday window with an elite showing.
Week 12 Output:
37.1 fantasy points
8 receptions on 10 targets
167 yards, 2 touchdowns
A spectacular 63-yard scoring play
He now has seven straight games with 20+ points and remains a top-tier WR1 heading into Week 13.
3. Jalen Hurts, QB – Philadelphia Eagles
Hurts bounced back with a confident performance against the Dallas Cowboys.
Stats:
30.86 fantasy points
Season-high 289 passing yards
2 rushing touchdowns
110 of his yards went to A.J. Brown
With the Eagles playing again on Friday against Chicago, Hurts stays locked in as a top-five fantasy quarterback.
4. Amon-Ra St. Brown, WR – Detroit Lions
St. Brown returned to form after a quiet Week 11 outing.
Performance:
29.9 fantasy points
9 out of 13 catches completed
Season-high 149 receiving yards
1 touchdown
He remains a top-five WR option heading into the Thanksgiving Day game against Green Bay.
5. Dak Prescott & George Pickens – Dallas Cowboys
Both players were crucial in Dallas’ shock win over the Eagles.
Pickens:
A superb 29.6 fantasy points
Caught all 9 targets
Delivered back-to-back weeks with 29+ points
Prescott:
Scored 27.06 fantasy points
His seventh game this year with 22+ points
Week 13 against the Chiefs will be difficult, but their strong chemistry bodes well.
6. Emanuel Wilson, RB – Green Bay Packers
Wilson stepped up brilliantly with Josh Jacobs sidelined.
Highlights:
26.5 fantasy points — a career best
Two rushing touchdowns
Four explosive runs
30 more rushing yards than expected
If you roster Jacobs, Wilson is must-have insurance.
7. Wan’Dale Robinson, WR – New York Giants
Robinson and temporary QB Jameis Winston found great rhythm in the overtime thriller.
Key Stats:
Career-best 30.6 points
9 catches on 14 targets
Early 39-yard touchdown
Nearly pulled off a late deep catch in OT
With Jaxson Dart expected to return soon, Robinson remains a WR3/flex candidate for Week 13.
8. Hunter Henry, TE – New England Patriots
Henry excelled in a favourable matchup vs Cincinnati.
Performance:
24.5 fantasy points
7 catches on 10 targets
115 yards and a touchdown
He continues to profile as a reliable low-end TE1.
 Week 12 Fantasy Losers
1. Jonathan Taylor, RB – Indianapolis Colts
Taylor struggled badly against a tough Chiefs defence.
What went wrong:
Just 8.6 fantasy points
Held under 10 points for the second time in three weeks
Failed to break free, with 5 of his 16 carries stuffed
Still, Taylor remains a top-three weekly RB due to his proven late-season strength.
2. Lamar Jackson, QB – Baltimore Ravens
Jackson’s fantasy dip continued for a second week.
Concerns:
Only 7.22 fantasy points
153 passing yards, 11 rushing yards
Lacks his usual explosiveness
Playing through ankle concerns
He’ll attempt to bounce back on Thanksgiving against Cincinnati.
3. Justin Jefferson, WR – Minnesota Vikings
Jefferson’s productivity has taken a noticeable hit due to QB struggles.
Summary:
Only 8.8 points in Week 12
J.J. McCarthy’s inconsistent play remains a problem
Averages just 11.1 PPG since McCarthy’s return
For Week 13, Jefferson sits as a WR2 rather than a guaranteed WR1.
4. Josh Allen, QB – Buffalo Bills
Allen endured a rare off-night against a relentless Houston defence.
Key Issues:
Just 8.12 fantasy points
2 interceptions
Sacked a career-high eight times
Experienced shoulder numbness early in the game
The good news? His upcoming schedule is much easier: PIT, CIN, NE.
5. D’Andre Swift, RB – Chicago Bears
A worrying trend continued for Swift as he ceded more work to rookie Kyle Monangai.
Stats:
Season-low 1.9 points
Played just 43% of snaps
Outperformed again by Monangai
Both players are only weak flex considerations for Week 13.
6. Nico Collins, WR – Houston Texans
After weeks of strong play, Collins hit a quiet patch.
Performance:
8.5 points
Only 3 targets
Snapped a four-game streak of 10+ targets
A bounce back could come with CJ Stroud potentially returning.
7. Jameson Williams, WR – Detroit Lions
Williams was overshadowed by Amon-Ra St. Brown in Week 12.
Key Details:
0 receptions on 3 targets
His performance continues to fluctuate week by week
He faces the Packers next — a team he scored 6.6 points against earlier this season.
 Injury Impact: Week 12
Tee Higgins, WR – Cincinnati Bengals
Suffered a concussion after a hard fall in the fourth quarter.
Entered concussion protocol immediately.
Likely to miss Thanksgiving vs Ravens.
With Ja’Marr Chase back from suspension, Andrei Iosivas becomes a sleeper stash option.
Alvin Kamara, RB – New Orleans Saints
Left the game early with a knee injury.
Totaled just 3.5 points before exiting.
If Kamara misses Week 13:
Devin Neal becomes the starting RB and a top waiver wire pickup ahead of a favourable matchup against the Dolphins.
