While the 2024 fantasy football season is over for some leagues, others will wrap up in Week 18.
Sometimes, everything comes down to one final game, which could be good or bad for fantasy players.
Should fantasy players start Aaron Jones, Rachaad White, or D'Andre Swift in Week 18? Let’s dive into their fantasy football outlook for this week.
Should I Start Aaron Jones For Fantasy Football?
Jones has had an excellent first year with the Minnesota Vikings, ranking as the RB15 for the season, averaging 12.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The veteran running back suffered a quad injury against the Green Bay Packers last week. However, he is off the injury report and ready to face the Detroit Lions on Sunday night.

The Lions have held running backs to 17 fantasy points per game, the fifth-fewest in the NFL. However, Jones had 93 rushing yards, a touchdown, and 19.1 fantasy points against the division rivals earlier this season. The veteran is a high-end RB2 option for fantasy players.
Should I Start Rachaad White For Fantasy Football?
White is the RB20 for the year, averaging 11.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. While Bucky Irving has taken over as the lead running back, the former Arizona State star has been outstanding in the passing game, totaling 51 receptions for 393 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

Unfortunately, White has scored 8.3 or fewer fantasy points in three of his past five games, including back-to-back contests. However, he is a solid flex option for fantasy players in Week 18 against the New Orleans Saints. They have surrendered 22.9 fantasy points per game to running backs, the fifth-most in the NFL.
Should I Start D'Andre Swift For Fantasy Football?
Swift has had an up-and-down first season with the Chicago Bears. The veteran is the RB19 for the year, averaging 11.3 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. Unfortunately, he has struggled lately, averaging 7.9 fantasy points per game over the past six weeks.
However, Swift has had some touchdown luck this season. The veteran running back has five rushing touchdowns, including one against the Green Bay Packers in Week 11. Fantasy players can trust Swift as a high-end flex option.
