Kenneth Gainwell, Boston Scott, Rashaad Penny: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 18

The Philadelphia Eagles have one of the best rushing offenses and offensive lines in the NFL, meaning their starting running back will always have fantasy intrigue. Although Jalen Hurts has a firm grip on the goal line carries, the running backs can produce explosive plays with wide-open running lanes at any point in a game. […]

Jamaal Williams, Kendre Miller, Taysom Hill: Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em Picks for Fantasy Football Week 18

The New Orleans Saints need a win over the Atlanta Falcons and a Tampa Bay Buccaneers loss to clinch the NFC South and the right to host a playoff game next weekend. Unfortunately, it looks like they'll be without one of their best players and faces of the franchise in Week 18. Alvin Kamara (ankle) […]

Greg Dortch An Intriguing DFS Play In Week 18

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch has hauled in nine of his 12 targets for 74 yards and a touchdown over his last two games. With Marquise Brown (heel) on Injured Reserve, Dortch remains a consideration in deep fantasy leagues or DFS tournaments. The 25-year-old has been a factor in Arizona's offense since the return […]

Sam LaPorta A Strong Fantasy Option In Season Finale

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta was listed on this week's injury report with an ankle injury, but he's cleared to go and will look to finish his spectacular rookie season on a high note. The second-round pick has hauled in 81 of his 113 targets for 860 yards and nine touchdowns. Those numbers are […]

Chigoziem Okonkwo A Weak Streamer Against Jaguars

Tennessee Titans tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo failed to deliver as a popular streaming option last week against the Houston Texans. Despite the favorable matchup, he caught just three passes for 34 yards. In the Week 18 season finale, he'll face the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are a middle-of-the-pack defense against fantasy tight ends. Ultimately, Tennessee's passing […]

Tyjae Spears A Deep-League PPR Option In Week 18

Tennessee Titans running back Tyjae Spears has hauled in nine of his 12 targets for 56 yards over the last two weeks. Those games were played mostly by Ryan Tannehill, who could start in place of the injured Will Levis (foot) in the team's season finale against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Although Spears is […]

Treylon Burks Nowhere Near Fantasy Radar In Season Finale

Tennessee Titans wide receiver Treylon Burks has hauled in just 16 of his 30 targets for 221 yards and no touchdowns in 10 games this season. He has continued to disappoint throughout his sophomore season, keeping him firmly off the fantasy radar against the Jacksonville Jaguars -- even in deep leagues. The Titans are in […]

DeAndre Hopkins A Boom-Or-Bust Play In Week 18

Tennessee Titans wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins eclipsed 1,000 yards for the seventh time in his career last week, and he has incentives in his contract to monitor in Week 18. The veteran will earn $250,000 each for reaching 75 receptions (he has 68), 1,050 Yards (he has 1,011), and eight touchdowns (he has six). With […]

Derrick Henry Looks To Finish Strong In Potential Last Game With Titans

Tennessee Titans running back Derrick Henry has had plenty of down weeks this season, yet he still ranks eighth in total half-PPR points among ball-carriers this season. He has finished as a top-10 weekly running back seven times this year, but he's also finished outside the top 35 running backs on six occasions. Needless to […]

Kalif Raymond Could See Enhanced Role In Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Kalif Raymond will likely see more snaps in two or three wide receiver sets if Jameson Williams (ankle) cannot suit up in Week 18. Williams has been earning more targets and snaps as of late, but he's dealing with an ankle injury. Amon-Ra St. Brown and Josh Reynolds have operated as […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Looks To Continue Hot Streak In Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been on fire over the last three weeks, securing 25 of his 31 targets for 308 yards and three touchdowns. He was an incredible producer for fantasy managers in the fantasy football playoffs, and he's in for another big week against a lackluster Minnesota Vikings defense. The […]

Jahmyr Gibbs Has RB1 Upside In Season Finale

Detroit Lions running back Jahmyr Gibbs is looking to bounce back from a rough Week 17 performance on Sunday. The rookie posted just 43 rushing yards and did not catch a pass in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys. He scored at least 20 PPR fantasy points in six of his last nine games prior […]

David Montgomery Remains Strong RB2 Play

Detroit Lions running back David Montgomery found the end zone for the 12th time last week, continuing his run of solid RB2 play in fantasy football. The former Chicago Bear has not finished lower than the RB25 in any non-injury-shortened game this year, so he remains a high-floor RB2 or flex play in Week 18 […]

Jared Goff A Strong Start Against Vikings

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been hit-or-miss in recent weeks. The veteran threw five touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15, but he has thrown just two touchdowns and two interceptions over his last two outings. Goff, a pure pocket passer, is dependent on touchdowns for big-time fantasy upside, and he's tossed at least […]

Nick Mullens Named Vikings Starter For Season Finale

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O'Connell announced that Nick Mullens will start for the team in the season finale against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. Mullens started in Week 15 and 16 in losses to the Cincinnati Bengals and Detroit Lions, but rookie Jaren Hall was named QB1 for the Sunday Night Football loss to […]

DJ Moore Logs Limited Practice To Begin Week 18

Chicago Bears wide receiver DJ Moore (ankle) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

While there's no indication he'll miss the Week 18 game […]

D.J. Chark Jr. Limited By Foot Injury On Wednesday

Carolina Panthers wide receiver D.J. Chark (foot) is listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a foot injury.

Bryce Young A Full Participant In Wednesday's Practice

Carolina Panthers quarterback Bryce Young (back) was banged up in the Week 17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars and entered the medical tent for a brief check-up.

Miles Sanders Dealing With Illness To Begin Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Miles Sanders (illness) did not practice on Wednesday due to an illness.

Carson Wentz Will Start For Rams, Matthew Stafford To Rest In Week 18

The Los Angeles Rams will start veteran quarterback Carson Wentz for the Week 18 matchup with the San Francisco 49ers, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Josh Jacobs A Game-Time Decision For Week 18

Las Vegas Raiders running back Josh Jacobs (quad) is going to be a game-time decision for the Week 18 game against the Denver Broncos, according to interim head coach Antonio Pierce. Last year's rushing champion has missed each of the last three games due to a quad injury, and although the Raiders are eliminated from […]

Josh Allen Practices In Full To Begin Week 18 Prep

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen (neck, finger) is still dealing with a sore neck on Wednesday, according to head coach Sean McDermott. However, he was a full participant in the team's walkthrough practice to begin the week, and he is not at risk of missing the crucial Week 18 matchup with the Miami Dolphins. The […]

D.J. Humphries Has Torn ACL

Arizona Cardinals offensive tackle D.J. Humphries (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the team's Week 17 upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a tough blow for the veteran and the team with just one week remaining in the regular season. The 2015 first-round selection out of the University of Florida has started 98 games […]

Overrated and Underrated NFL Teams: Week 18 NFC Contenders and Pretenders

Eagles Pledge To Get A.J. Brown More Involved

Philadelphia Eagles offensive coordinator Brian Johnson recognizes the lack of productivity for All-Pro wide receiver A.J. Brown in recent weeks and said the team needs to do a better job getting him the ball. "A.J. is a great player, and we've got to force him the ball sometimes and make sure we get him going," […]

Trevor Lawrence Could Practice On Wednesday

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Trevor Lawrence (shoulder) could be a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to head coach Doug Pederson. Lawrence missed the first game of his NFL career last week, but the Jags defeated the Carolina Panthers with C.J. Beathard. In Week 18, Jacksonville can clinch the AFC South and a home playoff […]

Rodger Saffold Inks Deal To Join Browns Practice Squad

Veteran free-agent guard Rodger Saffold has been signed to the Cleveland Browns practice squad. Cleveland has dealt with injuries along its offensive line all season, so the two-time Pro Bowler will provide much-needed depth as the team heads into postseason action next week. Saffold spent nine seasons with the St. Louis/Los Angeles Rams before a […]

Christian Kirk Designated To Return From Injured Reserve

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk (core) has been designated to return from Injured Reserve, per the Jaguars PR account on X. Kirk suffered a core injury early in the Week 13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, and the Jacksonville offense has struggled ever since. It's unclear when Kirk will be able to play, but […]
