Who should I start for Week 18? Fantasy football outlooks for Ladd McConkey, Terry McLaurin, Nico Collins. Our expert fantasy football start 'em, sit 'em picks.
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, or Nico Collins in Week 18?
Should I Start Ladd McConkey For Fantasy Football?
McConkey has been exceptional as a rookie. The former Georgia star is the WR13 for the year, averaging 12.4 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He was outstanding last week against the New England Patriots, totaling eight receptions for 94 receiving yards, two touchdowns, and 25.4 fantasy points.

More importantly, McConkey faces the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 18. The last time he faced the division rivals was in Week 1, totaling five receptions on seven targets for 39 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 12.4 fantasy points. The rookie is a must-start wide receiver for fantasy players.
Should I Start Terry McLaurin For Fantasy Football?
McLaurin had an awful performance in Week 17, totaling one reception on seven targets for five receiving yards and one half-point PPR fantasy points against the Atlanta Falcons. However, the veteran has played well this season, ranking as the WR6 for the year, averaging 13.2 fantasy points per game.
The former Ohio State star faces the Dallas Cowboys this week. The last time he faced the division rivals, McLaurin had five receptions on six targets for 102 receiving yards, a touchdown, and 18.7 fantasy points. Fantasy players should consider the star receiver a must-start option in Week 18.

Should I Start Nico Collins For Fantasy Football?
Collins is the WR26 for the season, averaging 14.9 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. The superstar missed five games this year with a hamstring injury. Yet, he leads the team in receiving touchdowns, totaling six.

Normally, fantasy players would start Collins every week. However, the Houston Texans have nothing to play for in Week 18 against the Tennessee Titans. Therefore, the team could pull Collins and other key starters at some point during the game, making the superstar a risky starting option for fantasy players.
