Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 25.69 | 86% (–) | 26 | Justin Herbert has thrown multiple TDs in six of the last seven games, and he'll need to be productive again in Week 18 with a wild-card spot on the line as the Chargers take on a Raiders defense that ranks 10th in passing yards per game allowed. | ||||
WR | 16.55 | 98% (–) | 3 | Cooper Kupp has been held to fewer than 92 yards just once for the Rams this season, and he'll remain an elite option in a Week 18 matchup against a 49ers defense that's allowed 183 receiving yards per game and the third-most fantasy points to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. | ||||
WR | 13.41 | 94% (–) | 10 | Tyreek Hill has been held below 80 receiving yards and without a touchdown in four of five games since Kansas City's bye, making him a high-risk, high-reward play in Week 18 against a Broncos defense that ranks seventh in passing yards per game allowed this season. | ||||
RB | 15.14 | 85% (–) | 4 | Austin Ekeler has found the end zone in seven straight games, piling up 655 scrimmage yards and 10 total TDs over that stretch, and he doesn't figure to slow down in Week 18 with a wild-card spot on the line as the Chargers take on a Raiders defense he torched for 145 yards and two TDs back in October. | ||||
RB | 15.37 | 96% (–) | 5 | Alvin Kamara topped 50 receiving yards for the first time in his last three games in Sunday's win over Carolina, and he now heads into the Saints' Week 18 matchup against an Atlanta defense that has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing running backs this season. | ||||
TE | 11.31 | 87% (–) | 7 | Travis Kelce has scored three touchdowns in the last two games, but he could have trouble reaching the end zone again in Week 18 as Kansas City faces a Broncos defense that's given up only one TD to a tight end all season. | ||||
W/R | 12.44 | 97% (–) | 14 | Justin Jefferson has seen at least nine targets in eight straight contests, but has now failed to score in two weeks while being held to 58 yards or less in two of three, and likely needs Kirk Cousins under center for the Vikings in Week 18 if he's to close the year with a bang against a Bears' defense that's allowed only four 100-yard receivers to date. | ||||
BN | 19.57 | 78% (–) | 2 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 12.42 | 70% (+1) | 27 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 25.22 | 87% (–) | 33 | Dak Prescott has accumulated seven touchdown passes in his last two games for Dallas but will face an Eagles defense in Week 18 that's surrendered just 23 passing scores in 2021, which is tied for 11th in the NFL, and it remains to be seen how much Prescott will play with the Cowboys given that they cannot maneuver much in terms of playoff seeding. | ||||
BN | 11.80 | 65% (–) | 15 | A.J. Brown is finishing up a feast-or-famine season that's seen him top 130 yards three times but eclipse 50 in only one other game, but Tennessee's top receiver should play a prominent role in Week 18 as the Titans look to secure the top seed in the AFC against a Texans team that has allowed 2,669 yards to wide receivers - sixth-most in the league. | ||||
BN | 12.31 | 98% (–) | 12 | Stefon Diggs has nine touchdowns this year for the Bills, and in Week 18, he gets a Jets defense that ranks 31st in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
BN | 11.56 | 44% (+3) | 16 | Mike Evans is the last wide receiver standing in Tampa Bay, but he may be rested to prepare for the playoffs in a Week 18 matchup against Carolina. | ||||

BN | 8.75 | 64% (-1) | 146 | Nick Folk has missed just three of his 38 field-goal attempts this year for the Patriots, and in Week 18, he'll get a Dolphins defense that has allowed 21.8 points per game this season, ranking them in the middle of the pack. | ||||
