Welcome to Week 13 of the 2025 Footballguys Roundtable. Our intrepid panel of fantasy pundits discusses and debates four topics every week. We split the conversation into separate features.

This week's roundtable features these four topics:

Let's roll...

Matt Waldman: These players have been excellent fantasy producers for the past six weeks.  

Who will deliver the most value for the rest of the year?

Gary Davenport: Gotta go with Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williame here, if only because he has the most control over his fantasy value the rest of the way. Williams appears to be growing as a player by the week, and the Bears have no shortage of offensive firepower.

Ben Johnson has been a massive boost to Williams' career. If there's one thing that could get in the way here, it's three more games at Soldier Field and trips to Philly and Green Bay. We are getting to the time of year when the weather gets yucky. It's a meteorological term.  

Waldman: Maybe Bears fans who claim Williams throws the ball too hard will see how that arm cuts through the yuck. 

Mike Kashuba: It's hard to put the toothpaste back in the tube once you take it out. The Patriots are experiencing the same conundrum with their talented rookie, TreVeyon Henderson, who gets matchups against bottom-half defenses for the rest of the season.

Henderson can turn any touch into a 40-yard touchdown and make the day worthwhile for fantasy GMs. The split between Henderson and Rhamondre Stevenson will be something to track, but it's more likely Henderson remains the lead back and owns the pass-catching role. 

Jeff Haseley: My pick here is TreVeyon Henderson. He has turned the corner as the team's go-to running back. He is the better receiving option out of the backfield, and he has shown that he can produce when called upon.

Rhamondre Stevenson was not a factor in his first game back and will likely take a back seat to Henderson for the rest of the season. As Mike noted, New England also has a strong schedule the rest of the way, which should make it easier for Henderson to be productive.
