Week 18 FLEX Rankings Outlooks
Chris Godwin Jr., Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Across eight healthy games in 2025, Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin Jr. has recorded 32 receptions for 352 yards and two touchdowns on 50 targets. The 29-year-old broke out in Week 17 against the Miami Dolphins, hauling in seven catches for 108 yards and a touchdown on eight targets.
It was Godwin Jr.'s first game with more than five catches or 78 receiving yards this season, and it may be a sign that the veteran wideout is finally working his way back to full strength from the lower leg injuries that have bothered him since the middle of 2024.
Godwin Jr. also played 79% of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps in Week 17, the most among all Buccaneers wide receivers. In all PPR fantasy leagues with 10 or more teams, Godwin Jr. is a player to target on the waiver wire heading into his Week 18 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Ty Johnson, Buffalo Bills
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 and a receiving touchdown on 31 targets.
Johnson remains a deep-league handcuff heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Jets. He could see more work this weekend if the Bills don't let Cook play the entire game, but fantasy managers can't exactly bank on that. Johnson had a season-high eight touches for 48 scrimmage yards in last week's one-point loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. His five rushing attempts also represented a season high.
Pat Bryant, Denver Broncos
Denver Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant (concussion) has been cleared to play ahead of the Week 18 matchup versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Bryant will make his return after being forced to exit during the end of the Week 16 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The third-round rookie has been seeing increased reps down the stretch of the season. Over his last four games, Bryant has 17 receptions on 25 targets for 198 receiving yards.
The target share has been there, but Bryant isn't doing much in terms of yardage. He figures to continue seeing a significant snap count with the Broncos needing to win this game to lock up the No. 1 seed. The Broncos have a crowded wide receiver group, though, so Bryant can't be trusted as anything more than a touchdown-dependent, WR4/flex.
