Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 550 | 1% (–) | 2414 | Sam Darnold hasn't found the end zone in 58 pass attempts across two games since returning from a five-contest absence , and he'll now head into a Week 18 matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has been middling against opposing quarterbacks this season. | ||||

RB | 139 | 70% (+1) | 27 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
RB | 0 | 1% (–) | 2223 | Jeremy McNichols played just six snaps last week, as his pass-catching skills are more useful when the Titans are playing from behind, and his role could remain limited in Week 18 as Tennessee's heavily favored against the 4-12 Texans. | ||||
TE | 49 | 13% (-1) | 116 | Cole Kmet has at least five targets in each of the Bears last five games, but has topped 49 yards only three times all season while failing to score, giving him minimal at best upside in a Week 18 finale against a Vikings defense that's allowed five touchdowns to the position since Week 11. | ||||
W/T | 68 | 1% (–) | 157 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
W/R/T | 39 | 8% (–) | 2387 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
Q/W/R/T | 485 | 1% (–) | 1894 | Drew Lock picked up a shoulder injury last week but is expected to play through it in Week 18 with Teddy Bridgewater still in the concussion protocols, giving him some modest upside as the Broncos take on a Kansas City defense that ranks 28th in passing yards per game allowed. | ||||
BN | 93 | 2% (–) | 101 | Josh Reynolds will return after a one-week absence for the Lions in Week 18, reprising his role as a field stretcher (averaging 17.3 yards per catch in four of five) in a matchup against a Packers defense that allows just 6.5 yards per pass attempt. | ||||
BN | 38 | 2% (–) | 2385 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
BN | 55 | 1% (–) | 1716 | Darius Slayton could return from the reserve/COVID-19 list in Week 18 for the Giants but would still have Mike Glennon and his 24 passing yards from a week earlier under center, making Slayton an unrecommended option even against a suspect Washington defense allowing 265.6 passing yards per tilt, which is 30th in the NFL. | ||||

BN | 54 | 4% (–) | 148 | Kendrick Bourne has topped 45 yards just three times over his last nine games for the Patriots, but in Week 18, he'll get a Dolphins defense that ranks ninth in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
BN | 48 | 0% (–) | 1728 | Quez Watkins tied for third on the team in targets last game but it remains to be seen how much the Philadelphia starters will play in Week 18 versus the Cowboys as both squads have locked up playoff spots and can only maneuver slightly in terms of seeding; if Watkins plays the majority of the contest, he will face a Dallas defense allowing 242.7 passing yards per tilt, which is 24th in the NFL. | ||||
IR | 0 | 1% (–) | 2333 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
IR | 0 | 3% (–) | 2145 | Elijah Moore has scored five touchdowns over his last five games for the Jets, but in Week 18, he'll get a Buffalo defense that ranks second in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||

K | 144 | 10% (–) | 217 | Jason Sanders has missed eight of his 29 field-goal attempts this season for the Dolphins, and in Week 18, he gets a Patriots defense that has allowed 16.9 points per game this season, the lowest number in the league. | ||||
BN | 133 | 5% (–) | 1712 | Graham Gano has provided virtually all of the offense for the Giants over the last three games but still has just four combined field goals to show for his efforts, and with no help in sight makes for a dismal option in Week 18 even against a Washington squad allowing 26.7 points per tilt, which is 28th in the NFL. | ||||
