Week 12 Monday Review: Saquon Barkley Continues His Ascension to the 1.01 in 2025, While Recent Reality 1.01s Fight Off the Bust Label

Just when we thought that there was little more Saquon Barkley could do to surprise us this season, he comes out on Sunday night and puts together the best fantasy performance of his entire career. As the engine that powers the Eagles’ offense, the arguments against Barkley rising to the 1.01 in fantasy drafts next year are growing thinner by the week.

On the other end of the spectrum, Caleb Williams and Bryce Young were the top pick in each of the past two NFL drafts, but have not lived up to the hype that they brought with them into the league. Both quarterbacks currently find themselves having to prove that they were worth the investment, and Week 12 found both nearly claiming a victory against two of the top teams in the NFL. With any sign of optimism being a welcome change, now it is up to them to prove this week was not a fluke.

For an up-to-the-minute recap of the biggest storylines from the NFL week that was, come join Blair Andrews, Hasan Rahim, and I live at 9 p.m. ET every Sunday night on the RotoViz YouTube channel for the Fantasy Football Report.

As always, we will be using the Monday Review tool to look at all of this week’s action as we head into the Week 12 finale between the Ravens and Chargers on Monday night.
