Fantasy Football Matchup Outlooks
Below are some fantasy football outlooks written by our NFL team here at RotoBaller, bringing you their fantasy football analysis and advice on which players to consider starting in Week 18:
D'Andre Swift, RB, Chicago Bears
The 26-year-old totalled only nine carries in the game, his fewest since Week 12, but he's remained a super steady contributor in the Bears' lethal rushing attack, notching at least 50 rushing yards in six of the last seven games. While his pass-catching ability hasn't been a major part of his fantasy profile this season, it remains a strength of his game, with his 25 receiving yards on Sunday night marking his highest total since Week 8. Swift will continue to be an integral part of the Bears' offense when he faces his former team, the Detroit Lions, in Week 18.
Javonte Williams, RB, Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Cowboys running back Javonte Williams exited Christmas Day's contest in the first half after picking up a shoulder injury. Before leaving, he'd racked up 54 yards and a touchdown on 13 carries, failing to bring in either of his targets.
If the University of North Carolina product remains on the sideline for Week 18, fantasy managers can expect backfield mates Malik Davis and Hunter Leupke to pick up extra snaps in his stead. As it stands, Davis figures to get most of the work moving forward, considering he's primarily played behind Williams over the previous few weeks.
Parker Washington, WR, Jacksonville Jaguars
Washington has proved throughout the season that he can provide fantasy value with other receivers injured or not playing. Still, even with everyone healthy and a lot of mouths to feed, such as Brian Thomas Jr., Jakobi Meyers, Brenton Strange, and Washington, it appears Washington has moved ahead in the pecking order of late. The biggest beneficiary of all these weapons is Lawrence, who has been playing the best football of his career of late. Week 18 should also present a good matchup against the struggling Tennessee Titans.
