Chase McLaughlin Remains a Solid Option for the Regular Season Finale

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been a solid fantasy option for managers this season, but he will look to rebound in Saturday's game against the Carolina Panthers.

Tetairoa McMillan Looking to Bounce Back in Regular-Season Finale

Carolina Panthers rookie wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan is coming off his worst game of the season last week against the Seahawks, catching only one of his four targets for five yards.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson had the best game of his season last week against the Jets, handling eight carries for 47 yards and a touchdown to go along with a season-high five receptions for 55 yards and another score as a receiver. Despite rookie TreVeyon Henderson being cleared from the concussion protocol […]

Colston Loveland a Must-Start for Regular-Season Finale

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland is emerging as a go-to target in the offense and has all the makings of a future star. Loveland commanded a season-high 10 targets in last week's loss to the San Francisco 49ers, catching seven of them for 96 yards and a touchdown. The rookie first-rounder matched a […]

Colby Parkinson Projects as Borderline TE1 for Week 18

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson recorded a season-high six catches for 53 yards while finishing second on the team with seven targets in last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Mike Evans Remains a Solid WR2 for Week 18

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Mike Evans will need to be at his best for the must-win game against the Carolina Panthers on Saturday. Evans mostly struggled last week until he snagged a four-yard touchdown in the final moments of the loss to the Miami Dolphins. The veteran wideout will look to extend his two-game […]

Chargers Could Use Starters in Backup Role

The Los Angeles Chargers could use some of their regular starters in a backup role in Week 18. This team isn't playing for much with a playoff spot locked up ahead of the regular-season finale against the Denver Broncos. Head coach Jim Harbaugh doesn't want to risk any injuries to his starters, so he's considering […]

Keenan Allen Fading as Regular Season Comes to a Close

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Keenan Allen has recorded 74 catches for 741 yards and four touchdowns on 109 targets in 16 games in 2025 in his return to the team. The six-time Pro Bowler has been a trustworthy aerial weapon for quarterback Justin Herbert, but the 33-year-old is limping to the finish line and […]

Rashod Bateman Questionable for Week 18, Expected to Play

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman (illness) is listed as questionable but is expected to suit up for Sunday's Week 18 contest against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Khalil Shakir a Low-Upside Flex Going into Week 18 Matchup

On paper, the Buffalo Bills Week 18 matchup against the division-rival New York Jets is an excellent one for wide receiver Khalil Shakir and the rest of the offense. However, the Bills probably won't need to throw the ball all that much to get a victory and improve their seeding in the AFC playoff picture. […]

Ty Johnson Still Doesn't Have Standalone Fantasy Value

Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson has operated as Buffalo's No. 2 back behind James Cook for most of the year, but it hasn't translated to standalone fantasy value. The 28-year-old has a total of 37 carries for 164 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games this year, adding 22 receptions for 243 additional yards […]

T.J. Watt Cleared to Play in Week 18

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt (lung) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 18 matchup versus the Baltimore Ravens. Watt will return from a three-game absence due to a partially collapsed lung that required a procedure to repair. The return of Watt will come at a great time, with this being a must-win game […]

Jalen Carter Won't Play Against Commanders

Philadelphia Eagles defensive tackle Jalen Carter (hip) injured his hip in Thursday's practice and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday against the division-rival Washington Commanders. The Eagles already have a playoff spot locked up, so they will rest Carter and hope that he'll be ready to return for the […]

Kayshon Boutte More of a Long Shot in Return From Concussion

New England Patriots wide receiver Kayshon Boutte (concussion) has cleared the league's concussion protocol and will play in Sunday's Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Miami Dolphins.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 18 matchup versus the New York Jets.

Calvin Austin III Hard to Trust in his Return

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Calvin Austin III (hamstring) upgraded to a full participant in practice on Friday and was removed from the final injury report, per ESPN's Brooke Pryor.

Bhayshul Tuten a Risky Streaming Choice in Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars rookie running back Bhayshul Tuten (finger) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

Philip Rivers Might Not be Active in Week 18

Indianapolis Colts rookie quarterback Riley Leonard will start under center in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Houston Texans, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.
