However, there are some leagues that extend to Week 18, and DFS gamers will still be plugged in. We're here to help with our our Week 18 fantasy football half-PPR rankings for fantasy football, as of January 4th. Our goal as always is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players like D'Andre Swift, Mike Williams, DJ Moore, Tony Pollard, Cam Akers, and Chris Godwin rank, among others.
