Brian Thomas Jr. A WR1 As Usual In Week 18

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Brian Thomas Jr. is a must-start once again against the Indianapolis Colts. The rookie receiver has been special of late. He has received double-digit targets in each of the last five games, finishing the season strong and looking like a future bonafide alpha receiver. If not for a bit of a […]

Alec Pierce A High-Ceiling/Low-Floor WR5 In Season Finale

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is coming off a big game that saw him post season-highs in targets and catches, putting up a 6-122-1 line against the Giants. It surely helped that the Colts were playing from behind all game, but the speedy wideout surprisingly leads the Colts in receiving yards (767) despite having […]

Wil Lutz A Top-10 Kicker For Week 18 Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz hasn't missed a kick since the Week 10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. He'll take on the Chiefs again in the Week 18 regular-season finale as the Broncos look to punch their ticket to the postseason for the first time since the 2015 season. Since Lutz's potential game-winning kick […]

Samaje Perine To Lead Backfield In Season Finale

Kansas City Chiefs running back Samaje Perine will face the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 18. With Isiah Pacheco marked as out and Kareem Hunt listed as doubtful for this week's contest, Perine should handle the majority of touches out of the backfield. The 29-year-old receiving back will face the Broncos, who rank […]

Mac Jones A Decent QB2 Against Reeling Colts

Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback Mac Jones should be boosted slightly against the Indianapolis Colts this week given the number of quarterbacks expected to be out due to injury or rest. Given that the game is meaningless for both teams besides draft position, both teams will be playing for pride. That especially applies to a quarterback like […]

Audric Estime Hard To Trust In Week 18 Lineups

Denver Broncos rookie running back Audric Estime gets a Week 18 matchup against a Kansas City Chiefs team that will be resting key starters on defense for the playoffs as the Broncos look to punch their ticket to the postseason on Sunday at home. The rookie does have nine carries in consecutive weeks, but he […]

Josh Downs A Low-End WR3 In Week 18 Matchup Versus Jaguars

After averaging over five catches per contest after Week 11, Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Josh Downs has had four consecutive weeks with exactly three receptions. Be that as it may, Week 18 brings a matchup versus the Jaguars, the same team the 23-year-old posted nine catches on 12 targets for 69 yards and a touchdown […]

Javonte Williams An RB3/Flex With Low Ceiling, Floor Against Chiefs

Denver Broncos running back Javonte Williams just isn't being involved enough to be an exciting fantasy option heading into the Week 18 regular-season finale on Sunday in Denver against the division-rival Kansas City Chiefs. In a Broncos backfield that has become a committee approach that also involves Jaleel McLaughlin and rookie Audric Estime, Williams will […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? DK Metcalf, Brian Thomas Jr., Deebo Samuel Sr.

It can be a challenge to figure out which teams and players have the incentive to play their best in Week 18. That's why a lot of leagues finish in Week 17! It would be nice if we could assume that every player suiting up on Sunday was going to play their usual amount of […]

Michael Pittman Jr. A WR3 Against Jaguars In Season Finale

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. set season-highs in receptions and targets last week with Joe Flacco back at the helm, catching nine of 10 passes for 109 yards and a score. With a week full of practice, the 27-year-old should not be limited in any way again this week, taking on a Jaguars […]

Avoid Cowboys D/ST In Week 18

The Dallas Cowboys defense is coming off of a brutal Week 17 outing in which they surrendered 41 points to the Philadelphia Eagles without quarterback Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) under center. Week 18 will not be any easier, as the Washington Commanders plan to play all of their starters to shoot for the six-seed rather […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jakobi Meyers, Olamide Zaccheaus, Keenan Allen

Figuring out which teams and players have an incentive to play their best in Week 18 is always a challenge. It would be nice if we could assume that every player suiting up on Sunday was going to play their usual amount of snaps or give maximum effort, but that simply isn't always the case. […]

Week 18 Wide Receiver Rankings for Fantasy Football: WR Updates Include Tyreek Hill, Jalen McMillan, Adam Thielen, Jameson Williams, Jauan Jennings

Week 18 is here, and several teams will either not play starters or pull them early in the game. That said start-or-sit decisions are tough when comparing two flex-level wide receiver options, so we're here to assist with our NFL team's updated Week 18 fantasy football wide receiver rankings for 2024. Let's see where key […]

Brandon Aubrey Can Be Started In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey is coming off of a rough outing in which he made his lone extra point attempt but missed his lone field goal attempt in a blowout loss to Philadelphia. The 29-year-old kicker will look to bounce back in the season's finale against the Washington Commanders, although the Dallas offense looks […]

Jake Ferguson Is High-End TE2 Entering Week 18

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has had a disappointing season thus far, as he has failed to record a single touchdown. The 25-year-old has caught 57 passes for 482 yards and despite CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) missing last week's game, he was not the top option in the passing game. Given the lack of weapons […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Blake Corum, Tyrone Tracy Jr., Brian Robinson Jr.

Los Angeles Rams running back Blake Corum, New York Giants running back Tyrone Tracy Jr., and Washington Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. all have plenty to play for in Week 18, and have the opportunity to make a nice impact for their teams and rack up stats for your fantasy football rosters. None of […]

KaVontae Turpin Warrants Deep-League Consideration In Week 18

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin should again be involved on offense in Week 18's matchup against the Washington Commanders. Turpin saw four targets and two carries in last week's blowout loss and without CeeDee Lamb (shoulder), the team lacks playmakers. Mike McCarthy will be looking for ways to get the ball into the […]

Who Should I Start for Fantasy Football Week 18? Jauan Jennings, Courtland Sutton, Michael Pittman Jr.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically. Receivers' main job of catching the football leads to them scoring more points per touch, and those WRs that consistently get high volume can produce great results with a strong floor. Not every WR is like this, though, […]

Jonnu Smith Remains Strong Fantasy Option For Week 18

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith remains an appealing fantasy option ahead of Sunday's Week 18 contest against the New York Jets. There are many moving parts ahead of the Dolphins' regular-season finale, including the injury statuses of key offensive weapons such as Tua Tagovailoa (hip), Jaylen Waddle (knee), and Tyreek Hill (wrist, illness). As […]

Jalen Tolbert A Dart-Throw Flex In Season's Finale

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Jalen Tolbert (finger) fully practiced all week, avoiding an injury designation prior to Week 18's matchup with the Washington Commanders. Tolbert slots in alongside Brandin Cooks to form the starting receiver group in the season's finale after scoring the team's lone touchdown a week ago. The third-year receiver has now caught […]

Who Should I Start For Fantasy Football Week 18? Aaron Jones, Rachaad White, D'Andre Swift

While the 2024 fantasy football season is over for some leagues, others will wrap up in Week 18. Sometimes, everything comes down to one final game, which could be good or bad for fantasy players. Should fantasy players start Aaron Jones, Rachaad White, or D'Andre Swift in Week 18? Let’s dive into their fantasy football […]

Brandin Cooks A Flex Option For Week 18

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Brandin Cooks is a flex option as Dallas' projected top receiver in Week 18. Cooks led the Cowboys in all receiving benchmarks in Week 17, the first game without CeeDee Lamb (shoulder) in the fold. Washington's defense ranks 12th against opposing receivers, and there is uncertainty at the quarterback position, with […]

Eagles D/ST Limiting Starters In Week 18 Matchup

The Philadelphia Eagles defense/special teams takes on the New York Giants in Week 18, a team struggling offensively this season and currently in contention for the No. 1 pick in the 2025 NFL draft. While the Giants rank near the bottom in most offensive categories, the Eagles' defensive outlook will largely depend on how many […]

Cardinals Defense On Streaming Radar In Week 18

The Arizona Cardinals D/ST could have low-end streaming appeal ahead of their Week 18 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Most of the Cardinals' upside stems from the fact that the 49ers could be without several key starters. They have already ruled out quarterback Brock Purdy (elbow) and wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (ribs, wrist), […]

Who Should I Start For Fantasy Football Week 18? Ladd McConkey, Terry McLaurin, Nico Collins

While many teams have nothing to play for in Week 18, some have significant games ahead of them this weekend. Meanwhile, other teams have playoff positioning to play off this week, potentially earning a better first-round matchup. Fantasy players will have some tough decisions to make this week. Should they start Ladd McConkey, Terry McLaurin, […]

Jake Elliott Will Rely On Offensive Capability With Starters Out

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott helps host the New York Giants in Week 18. Elliot has booted multiple field goals in three consecutive games, showcasing his reliability despite struggles from beyond 50 yards, where he is just one-for-seven this season. This week, Elliott's opportunities could be impacted by Philadelphia resting key starters with their playoff […]

Grant Calcaterra Faces Uncertainty In Eagles’ Tight End Shuffle

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra faces the New York Giants in Week 18 and his role will likely be limited but unknown to what extent. With Dallas Goedert (knee) having his 21-day practice window opening this week, there's a chance he plays and sees a few snaps to shake off rust before the playoffs. […]

Rico Dowdle A Low-End RB1 For Week 18

Dallas Cowboys running back Rico Dowdle will look to top off his surprising breakout season in Week 18 against the Washington Commanders with a splash. The 26-year-old has rushed for over 100 yards in four of his last five games and now faces a solid matchup against Washington's 20th-ranked run defense. He will look to […]

Tanner McKee Steps Into Starting Role For Week 18

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Tanner McKee is set to make his first official NFL start in Week 18 as the team hosts the New York Giants. With both Jalen Hurts (concussion/rest) and Kenny Pickett (ribs) sidelined due to injuries, McKee will lead the offense in what could be a low-pressure environment, given the Eagles are locked […]
