Not every team qualifies for the fantasy football playoffs, but if yours featured any of these players, the chances are you did.
The fantasy regular season wrapped up in Week 13. Much like we do for the real thing, theScore compiled an All-Pro list made up of the top fantasy performers ahead of the playoffs.
Using a standard scoring format, here are the season's best players by position:
All-Pro first team
| Position | Name | Stats | Fantasy points | Biggest week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Russell Wilson | 3256 pass yds/26 TDs/8 INTs | 276 | 36 |
| RB | Todd Gurley | 939 rush yds/11 total TDs | 199 | 32 |
| RB | Alvin Kamara | 606 rush yds/11 total TDs | 178 | 30 |
| WR | Antonio Brown | 1296 rec yds/9 TDs | 181 | 32 |
| WR | DeAndre Hopkins | 1084 rec yds/9 TDs | 157 | 28 |
| TE | Travis Kelce | 871 rec yds/7 TDs | 123 | 21 |
| FLEX | Le'Veon Bell | 1057 rush yds/5 rush TDs/1 rec TD | 176 | 30 |
| DEF | Jacksonville | 45 sacks/16 INTs/6 TDs | 172 | 28 |
| K | Greg Zuerlein | 36-of-38 FGs | 167 | 27 |
Wilson leads all players in fantasy points. Quarterbacks make up the top seven point-scorers on the season, but the Seahawks pivot's mix of passing and rushing put him over the top.
Gurley leads all non-quarterbacks in fantasy points and ranks eight spots ahead of the closest rusher, Kamara. The Rams running back ranks second in yards and rushing scores, while Kamara does much of his damage as a receiver.
Brown and Hopkins lead the league in both receiving yards and touchdown receptions. The Steelers receiver is in the MVP conversation, while Hopkins went on a tear with Deshaun Watson as his quarterback.
Kelce has had a monster season, including four games of at least 15 fantasy points. His latest game was a 21-point performance.
At the flex position, Bell was the next rusher or receiver in fantasy points and represents the first back to break the 1,000-yard rushing mark this season.
All-Pro second team
| Position | Name | Stats | Fantasy points | Biggest week |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| QB | Carson Wentz | 3005 pass yds/29 TDs/6 INTs | 249 | 31 |
| RB | Mark Ingram | 922 rush yds/9 TDs | 156 | 31 |
| RB | Kareem Hunt | 930 rush yds/6 total TDs | 153 | 39 |
| WR | Tyreek Hill | 911 rec yds/6 TDs | 129 | 30 |
| WR | A.J. Green | 886 rec yds/8 TDs | 129 | 22 |
| TE | Rob Gronkowski | 849 rec yds/7 TDs | 122 | 20 |
| FLEX | Melvin Gordon | 775 rush yds/9 total TDs | 150 | 27 |
| DEF | Baltimore | 33 sacks/20 INTs/4 TDs | 160 | 29 |
| K | Stephen Gostkowski | 29-of-32 FGs | 135 | 20 |
Wentz has been a revelation in his sophomore season, and his success has coincided with his entrance into fantasy relevance.
Ingram is enjoying a career season for the Saints, while Hunt stormed out of the gates as an RB1. His 39-point Week 1 performance remains the pace-setter.
At tight end, Kelce and Gronkowski were separated by a single point. The difference came in receiving yards, with the Chiefs pass-catcher tallying 22 more. Gronk also missed one game due to injury.
Waiver-wire superstars
Most of the above stars were expected to shine, but a number of top performers came off the waiver wire.
Alex Smith was drafted in just seven percent of standard Yahoo leagues and his average draft position was in the 12th round. The Chiefs quarterback ranked as the third-best QB in fantasy with 240 points.
Alex Collins went undrafted in the majority of leagues, but after taking hold of the Ravens' starting job in Week 4, he finished the fantasy regular season as the 19th-ranked running back, ahead of the likes of Joe Mixon and Frank Gore.
It could be argued nobody was a bigger surprise in fantasy than Robby Anderson. The Jets receiver was drafted in only 13 percent of leagues at a 13th-round average. He produced the eighth-most fantasy points at his position with a stat line of 821 yards and seven touchdowns.
At tight end, Giants rookie Evan Engram owns the fifth-most fantasy points with 88. He became the focal point of New York's offense after injuries to many of the team's receivers, though emerged as a threat early in the season.
