Who should I start for Week 18? Fantasy football outlooks for Garrett Wilson, Marvin Mims Jr., Jayden Reed. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
The 2024 NFL regular season is nearly over. 18 of 32 teams will have their season end this weekend.
Meanwhile, 14 teams will enter the playoffs to win it all. More importantly, fantasy players are fighting for championships this week.
Should fantasy players start Garrett Wilson, Marvin Mims Jr., or Jayden Reed in Week 18? Let’s look at their fantasy outlooks.
Should I Start Garrett Wilson For Fantasy Football?
While the New York Jets have had an awful year, Wilson has been productive for fantasy players. He is the WR10 for the season, averaging 12.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The third-year pro has seven receiving touchdowns this year, including one last week in the blowout loss to the Buffalo Bills.

The Jets have nothing to play for in Week 18. However, they can potentially play spoilers for the Miami Dolphins. Therefore, expect them to come out swinging on Sunday. Wilson had 114 receiving yards and 14.9 fantasy points in the matchup against the division rivals earlier this season.
Should I Start Marvin Mims Jr. For Fantasy Football?
Mims is the WR70 for the year, averaging 5.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. While the second-year pro had little fantasy value earlier this season, he has been on fire lately. Mims had eight receptions for 103 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 26.2 fantasy points last week, setting season highs in several categories.

More importantly, the Denver Broncos must win on Sunday to secure a playoff spot. They face the Kansas City Chiefs, who will sit most of their key starters. Therefore, Mims is a solid WR3 or flex option for fantasy players.
Should I Start Jayden Reed For Fantasy Football?
Reed started the season on fire, totaling 23.6 or more half-point PPR fantasy points in his first two games with Jordan Love under center. However, the second-year pro has struggled after his hot start. He is the WR24 for the year, averaging 10.3 fantasy points per game.
The former Michigan State star has six receiving touchdowns, ranking second on the team behind Tucker Kraft (seven). Unfortunately, fantasy players can’t trust Reed in Week 18 against the Chicago Bears. He has averaged 4.8 fantasy points per game over the past month, scoring 1.1 or fewer twice, including last week.

Terrance Ferguson - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: TE2/FLEX with upside ANALYSIS: The Los Angeles Rams passing attack will look quite different on Monday night when they face the New York Giants.

Rashod Bateman - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 14-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4 ANALYSIS: Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman is about to get a lot more targets, according to Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson. Bateman looked solid in training camp, though then again, so do players like WR Elijah Moore, and they end up not doing much in real games. […]
Quentin Johnston - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12 + Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: Many fantasy managers, myself included (regrettably), expected new Los Angeles Chargers offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel to get wide receiver Quentin Johnston more involved on plays where he could utilize his skill set -- running after the catch -- better. That didn't happen in Week […]
Devaughn Vele - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX ANALYSIS: Vele's performance in Week 1 was shocking. In the absence of WR Jordyn Tyson (hamstring), he served as the team's WR2, and caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards and a touchdown, finishing with 19.9 PPR fantasy points. He played 91 percent […]
Deebo Samuel Sr. - Start or Sit?
BALLER MOVE: Start in 12-Team Leagues POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. was expected to play an ancillary role with his team when he was signed in the offseason. Then 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) had surgery to correct his PCL issues and was ruled out for the […]
