FanDuel NFL DFS Lineup Picks for Week 18 - Daily Fantasy Football Targets Include Dak Prescott, Aaron Rodgers, Christian McCaffrey, Rhamondre Stevenson, Isaiah Hodgins, Amon-Ra St. Brown, T.J. Hockenson

Aaron Rodgers - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Targets, NFL Injury News

Dennis Clausen highlights the top FanDuel NFL DFS lineup picks for Week 18 of the 2022 season, and some value sleepers for your daily fantasy football rosters.

First and most importantly, everyone at RotoBaller has Damar Hamlin and his family in our thoughts. His condition has improved, and we hope he continues to get better as each day passes. Considering the tragic incidents from Monday night, it will be challenging for players, coaches, and fantasy participants to enjoy the slate. Still, we will try our best to appreciate the final week of the NFL regular season while keeping Hamlin's recovery at the forefront.

Week 18 will have many critical matchups, with teams like the Seahawks, Packers, Lions, Jaguars, Patriots, and Dolphins (to name a few) battling for a spot in the postseason. The Eagles will look to secure the top position in the NFC. Over in the AFC, the situation is a bit more complicated after Monday's game between the Bills and Bengals was canceled.

In this article, I will be providing you with my Week 18 daily fantasy football lineup picks for FanDuel. These lineups can vary from higher-priced players and elite options to lower-priced players and value picks on FanDuel. Be sure to also check out our weekly DraftKings DFS lineup picks and lots of other great NFL DFS articles and NFL DFS tools to help you win big! Also, feel free to give me a follow on Twitter @DennisMClausen.

FanDuel Quarterbacks - Week 18 DFS Lineup Picks

Dak Prescott - @ WAS ($7,500)

The Commanders have nothing left to play for, as the team has already been eliminated from postseason contention. However, the Cowboys can still clinch the No. 1 spot in the NFC, so a lot is riding on the Week 18 matchup.

Fortunately, Prescott has played well against Washington throughout his career. In 10 career meetings with the Commanders, the signal-caller has averaged 240 passing yards per game. Even better, he's thrown 18 touchdowns and just three picks.

Aaron Rodgers - vs. DET ($7,100)

Green Bay has won its previous four games, which has been a significant reason why the team remains on the bubble. But Detroit also has a shot to continue its season beyond Week 18, so this will surely be an interesting matchup. These clubs met back in Week 9, with the Lions surprisingly allowing the Packers to accumulate nine points.

Rodgers played poorly in that one, completing only 53.5% of his attempts while tossing three interceptions. The multi-time MVP has played poorly on the road this season, amassing 11 touchdowns, nine picks, and an 81.9 passer rating. On the other hand, he's accrued 14 touchdowns and only two picks at Lambeau this season. With the Packers hosting this one, Rodgers should play much better this time around.

Also Consider: Tom Brady ($7,200), Jared Goff ($7,200)

 

FanDuel Running Backs - Week 18 DFS Lineup Picks

Christian McCaffrey - VS. ARI ($10,000),

The 49ers will lock up the top spot in the National Football Conference with a win and an Eagles loss. As a result, McCaffrey should be heavily involved during the season finale. The former Carolina Panther has been on a roll, scoring at least once in each of his games in December.

McCaffrey is currently listed as questionable and didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday. But he's reportedly feeling fine, so he should be good to go for the NFC West showdown with the birds.

Rhamondre Stevenson - @ BUF ($6,600)

Damien Harris returned in Week 17 against the Dolphins after missing over a month because of a thigh injury. He finished with 31 yards off nine carries and caught all three of his targets for 18 yards. At the same time, Stevenson was still involved, despite ceding opportunities to his backfield comrade.

However, Stevenson is still the top option in the Patriots' backfield, so fantasy managers shouldn't be scared off by Harris' availability. His rostering cost should also be an added incentive to get him into the lineup.

Also Consider: Saquon Barkley ($8,500), D'Andre Swift ($7,100), James Conner (6,900)

FanDuel Wide Receivers - Week 18 DFS Lineup Picks

Amon-Ra St. Brown  - @ GB ($8,000)

St. Brown has been a top fantasy option all season. The 23-year-old has found the end zone only six times this season. Yet, there aren't many receivers in the league who get as much attention from their quarterback. He had only five targets against the Bears in Week 17, although Detroit's massive lead led to more work for D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.

However, before the meeting with Chicago, St. Brown had fewer than nine targets in only three games. With Green Bay recently struggling to slow down opposing wideouts, along with a potential postseason bid on the line, St. Brown should get plenty of looks from Jared Goff.

Isaiah Hodgins - @ PHI ($6,100)

New York would love to stop Philly from doing anything to help its chances of winning a Super Bowl. While the Giants have a tough task ahead, the team has some potent options on the offensive end, including Hodgins. The former Oregon Duck began his season in Buffalo.

However, he was waived by the team in November but was claimed by the Giants almost immediately, allowing him to reconnect with his former offensive coordinator Brian Daboll, who now serves as the head coach for the G-Men. Hodgins doesn't draw a ton of targets consistently. But he has scored a touchdown in four of his last five games, giving him more upside than others in his price range.

Also Consider: Justin Jefferson ($9,000), CeeDee Lamb ($8,200), DK Metcalf ($7,200), Garrett Wilson ($7,100)

 

FanDuel Tight Ends - Week 18 DFS Lineup Picks

T.J. Hockenson - @ CHI ($7,200)

Travis Kelce and the Chiefs will play on Saturday, meaning Hockenson may be the best option at the tight end spot. The 25-year-old began the year with the Lions, accumulating 26 catches for 395 yards and three touchdowns.

Yet, the 25-year-old has played better since being traded to Minnesota in early November. Hockenson has produced 59 receptions and three touchdowns since he was dealt to the Vikings. He's also received 28 targets in the last two weeks, so he warrants consideration in Week 18.

Also Consider: George Kittle ($7,600)
