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:
- Best Thanksgiving Fantasy Matchups
- Stretch-Run Stars
- RBs Who Might Start in 2026
- 2026 WR Rebound Candidates
Let's roll...
Matt Waldman: Pick the wide receiver from the list you believe will offer the best fantasy value next year.
Who are you gambling on next year?
Corey Spala: Aiyuk will have favorable value in 2026, given his recent situation in San Francisco. The injury that has kept him out of action for over a year has also pushed down his redraft and dynasty value.
He is a top talent at the position and was the most efficient pass catcher in 2023, his last full season. He would be the WR1 on many teams and will look to remind us why he is a top talent in 2026.
Gary Davenport: Brandon Aiyuk isn't going to see the field this year. San Francisco voided his guarantees, which sealed his fate with the 49ers.
The reality is that he's going to wind up signing a prove-it deal somewhere in 2026 -- likely with a contender on a discount. Ayiuk will be 28 when he signs that deal, and, as Corey mentioned, Aiyuk will likely be the cheapest of that quartet in fantasy drafts.
Who doesn't like a redemption story — especially at a discount?
