Week 18 Wide Receiver Rankings for Fantasy Football: DJ Moore, Marquise Brown, Christian Watson, DJ Chark, Treylon Burks, Zay Jones

DK Metcalf - Fantasy Football Rankings, Draft Sleepers, NFL Injury News

Updated Week 18 fantasy football wide receiver rankings as of January 4th, 2023. Set your winning lineups with our Week 18 NFL rankings for fantasy football.

The wide receiver position is largely viewed as the deepest in fantasy football, and we're challenged with diving even deeper into the rankings with several key wideouts out of action. Some teams have "nothing" to play for this week, so it's an interesting slate to navigate for fantasy and DFS. We're here to help with our updated Week 18 fantasy football wide receiver rankings, as of January 4th. Our goal is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key wide receivers like DJ Moore, Marquise Brown, Christian Watson, DJ Chark, Treylon Burks, and Zay Jones rank, among others.

Our wide receiver fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.

You should also bookmark our fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates. In addition to these WR rankings, read our fantasy football articles and analysis - our NFL team discusses lineup sleepers, busts, NFL players to start and sit, waiver wire pickups and so much more. Most importantly, our brand new free mobile app is a must have - download it and configure your notifications. We deliver all the top NFL news, injuries, and fantasy analysis 24x7 with our free push notification alerts!
