Drake Maye
Drake Maye has been LIGHTS OUT this 2025 fantasy season! At the beginning of the season, Maye was ranked as the QB15 in fantasy, but after 13 Weeks, he's currently ranked 3rd. The Patriots QB currently averages 20.4 fantasy points per game and has been an overachiever all season!
Jonathan Taylor
Jonathan Taylor was still projected to be a high-value pick, but no one
expected him to have the year he's having. Taylor was projected to go between the late 1st round and early 2nd round in most mock drafts. Taylor has been dominant all season, currently ranked as RB2. I think everyone can agree that Taylor has outperformed his season start
projections!

Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Once JSN was officially named WR1 after DK Metcalf was traded to
Pittsburgh, we all believed he was in line for a big season. What we all didn't expect was for him to absolutely tear up the league. JSN was projected as the WR16 before the season started, but he finds himself alone at the top as WR1 in fantasy. JSN is a prime example of overachieving your original fantasy ranking this year.

George Pickens
After Pickens was traded to the Dallas Cowboys, with his target share being shared with the likes of Ceedee Lamb, his fantasy outlook looked a bit bleak. He was projected to be the WR29 before the season started, but finds himself as the WR2 after 13 Weeks. Most managers expected Lamb to be a top 5 fantasy WR, but Pickens finds himself in that same
projection!
projection!
Tyler Warren
Something about rookie TEs in fantasy these last few years, am I right? Warren was seen as a late-round sleeper in most fantasy leagues with a possible chance of breaking out. Not many fantasy owners would expect that breakthrough to lead him to being the TE4 after 13 Weeks. The rookie pass catcher has been outdoing his prior sleeper status and 14th overall draft spot.
