Every week, player rankings fluctuate as prospects have their ups and downs throughout the season. This week was no different. Here are the five players who hurt their draft stock in Week 13.

November has not been kind to Notre Dame kicker and punter Kyle Brindza. The senior is 3-for-8 on field goals this month and has cost the Irish two wins. After being one of the most reliable kickers over the last two years, Brindza has struggled this season, hitting only 59 percent of his field goal attempts. With only a couple kickers drafted each year, near perfection is required. Brindza's versatility likely makes him a priority free agent.

After starting the season 7-0, Ole Miss has now lost three consecutive SEC games. The latest loss to Arkansas was a season-low for Bo Wallace. The streaky QB failed to throw a touchdown pass for the first time all season as the Rebels lost 30-0. After showing great improvement as a QB early in the season, Wallace's draft stock has taken a major hit late in the season. He's currently my No. 14 QB and may go undrafted.

3. Gerod Holliman (FS-Louisville)

Gerod Holliman is a prospect who has seen his stock soar this season. The safety leads the FBS with 13 interceptions on the season. Against Notre Dame, Holliman failed to intercept a pass for just the third time this season. He's been receiving enormous praise this season for his ball skills, and is considered by some as a first-round pick. His lack of coverage skills and ability in the run game, as seen this week, will push him down to Round 3.

2. Jaquiski Tartt (FS-Samford)

A game against an FBS opponent is the best opportunity for an FCS player to increase their draft stock. Samford's Jaquiski Tartt failed to do so against Auburn. Tartt, who is considered the second-best FCS prospect behind Harvard's Zach Hodges, was injured very early in the game. Although he did play through the injury, Tartt was clearly not himself. He was late getting to his spot on two Auburn touchdown runs and lacked his usual explosiveness.

As a redshirt sophomore, USC RT Zach Banner is eligible for the 2015 NFL Draft. He's been rumored to be leaning towards entering, but after his performance against UCLA, Banner may want to reconsider. Officially, he did not allow a sack. But when reviewing the tape, Banner allowed several QB pressures and failed to block anyone on several plays. Banner has several technical flaws that he needs to work on before making the jump to the NFL.
