NFL DFS: FanDuel Daily Fantasy Football Picks - Today's Top Lineups (Week 18)

josh allen fantasy football rankings NFL injury news DFS lineup picks

Today's top FanDuel daily fantasy football lineup picks for Week 18 (2023). Dennis' NFL DFS sleeper picks for building winning NFL DFS lineups on FanDuel.

It’s the final week of the 2023-24 campaign. Several clubs have already punched their ticket to the postseason, meaning some of the league’s most prominent fantasy performers won’t be on the field. Fortunately, more than a few teams are playing for one reason or another, whether to clinch a division crown or earn a postseason berth.

With this in mind, the safest approach in Week 18 is to target these teams. However, that doesn’t mean other squads won’t have more than a few top DFS producers when things wrap up on Sunday.

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!

Week 18 FanDuel Quarterbacks - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Josh Allen - @ MIA ($9,500)

There are several ways Buffalo can make the playoffs. Yet, the safest way the Bills can get there is by securing a win over Miami. Not only that, a victory on Sunday also comes with an AFC East title. Unquestionably, Buffalo needs Allen to have his best performance of the year in Week 18. Fortunately, he's had some impressive performances versus the Dolphins over the years.

In 11 meetings with Miami, the signal-caller has thrown 31 touchdowns, with four occurring in Week 4 back in October, while adding five more using his legs. He's also surpassed the 3,000-yard passing mark and amassed an impressive 110.8 passer rating. As a result, Allen warrants DFS consideration, although he'll likely be one of the most popular options on the slate. Keep in mind he's battling various ailments, although he should be good to go.

Nick Mullens - @ DET ($7,100)

Jaren Hall got the start in the Week 17 NFC North clash with the Packers. Unfortunately, things didn't turn out well for the rookie, resulting in Minnesota handing the reigns back to Mullens during the contest. While it's safe to say Mullens isn't going to win an MVP award anytime soon, he still had a few decent fantasy showings, including in the Vikings' Week 16 loss to the Lions, the team's Week 18 opponent.

Mullens had four interceptions in that game. On the other hand, he threw for 411 yards and two touchdowns to end with 20.54 fantasy points, his highest this season. Surely, there are other safer options on Sunday. But Mullens' $7,100 rostering cost should make him worth considering.

Also Consider: Dak Prescott ($8,700)

 

Week 18 FanDuel Running Backs - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Travis Etienne Jr. - @ TEN ($8,800)

The Jaguars have lost four of their previous five contests. But Jacksonville can still win the AFC South by taking down the Titans. These two teams met back in Week 11, with the Jags coming out on top, 34-14. Etienne didn't play too well in that one, finishing with 52 yards off 14 touches. In fact, the 2021 No. 25 overall pick hasn't fared too well versus the Titans since entering the league.

Despite that, Etienne's upside is still much higher in Week 18 than others at the running back spot. His poor performances in previous meetings with the Titans won't make him an attractive DFS commodity, which is good news for those looking to go against the grain.

Rachaad White - @ CAR ($7,700)

White split carries with Leonard Fournette as a rookie. However, the 24-year-old has flourished in his second season in the league, considering he has no real competition for touches out of the backfield. White needs just 75 rushing yards to hit 1000, and he also has 60 catches, the fourth-most at the position.

Even better, he's found the end zone nine times. With the Bucs looking to close out the year in decisive fashion by earning a playoff berth, White could be in for a big day against the Panthers, a team that's had issues stopping the run all season.

Also Consider: Tony Pollard ($7,600), James Conner ($7,300), Kenneth Walker III ($7,000-Questionable), Zamir White ($6,500 - If Josh Jacobs doesn't play), Jordan Mason ($5,700)

Week 18 FanDuel Wide Receivers - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

CeeDee Lamb - @ WAS ($10,000)

The Cowboys are already in the playoffs. Still, the team has more work to lock up their division. Of course, Dallas should keep Lamb a primary weapon against the Commanders, which will be no different from the rest of the season. The former Oklahoma Sooner is coming off a monster 13-catch, 227-yard, one-touchdown performance in the controversial one-point win over the Lions in Week 17.

Lamb had one of his worst games of the season versus Washington in mid-November. Yet, the Cowboys won 45-10, so he didn't need to be as involved. With this in mind, the Commanders are much better against the Cowboys at home, so a blowout is unlikely, meaning Dallas' pass-catchers could stay relevant for all 60 minutes.

Mike Evans - @ CAR ($8,400)

The Buccaneers will enter Week 18 looking for an NFC South title. The good news is that the team has the luxury of ending the regular season against the Carolina Panthers, easily one of the worst teams in the National Football League. Tampa Bay shouldn't have any trouble getting the win, although it shouldn't be a day off. This means the Bucs' primary offensive threats need to stay involved, including Evans, who has had one of the best seasons of his career.

The 30-year-old had only three catches in the Week 17 loss to the New Orleans Saints. However, he's scored 13 times this season. Not to mention that Evans dominated the Panthers a month ago, with the wideout grabbing seven of his 12 targets for 162 yards and a touchdown. Even if Baker Mayfield can't suit up because of a rib injury, Evans should be on everyone's radar.

Also Consider: Tyreek Hill ($9,500 - Questionable), Justin Jefferson ($9,000), DK Metcalf ($7,600), Curtis Samuel ($$5,600 - Questionable), Greg Dortch ($5,500) Christian Kirk ($4,000 - If Activated)

 

Week 18 FanDuel Tight Ends - NFL DFS Lineup Picks

Trey McBride - vs. SEA ($6,700)

Arizona has had a season to forget. Despite that, the Cardinals would love to add one more win to their record while ensuring the Seahawks remain out of the playoffs. There have been a few positives for Arizona throughout the season, specifically the emergence of McBride as a top tight end. He only has two touchdowns this season. Yet, the 24-year-old has gotten it done by amassing at least six catches in seven of his last nine games. Keep him in mind.

Also Consider: Evan Engram ($6,800)
