Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 728 | 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. | ||||
WR | 112 | 87% (–) | 19 | Keenan Allen has seen his volume decline slightly in recent weeks but has still scored four TDs in his last four games, giving him a strong floor heading into the Chargers' Week 18 meeting with a Raiders defense that ranks 10th in passing yards per game allowed. | ||||
WR | 151 | 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. | ||||
WR | 142 | 87% (–) | 23 | DK Metcalf has scored four touchdowns over Seattle's last two games giving him potential upside in a Week 18 matchup against a Cardinals defense that's allowed the most fantasy points per game to opposing WRs over the last five weeks. | ||||
RB | 276 | 96% (–) | 1 | Jonathan Taylor has an ideal Week 18 matchup to close out the regular season, as the Colts need a win to secure a playoff berth and will take on a hapless Jaguars defense that allowed four rushing touchdowns last week and 273 rushing yards the game before that. | ||||
RB | 128 | 58% (–) | 40 | D'Andre Swift saw only six touches in his first action in five weeks last Sunday, and with the Lions and Packers playing for only pride in Week 18, his opportunities could be few and far between again, making for volatility against a defense that allows 4.8 yards per carry. | ||||
TE | 132 | 94% (-1) | 11 | George Kittle has been a feast-or-famine producer for the 49ers over the last five weeks, and he'll continue to have upside potential despite a Week 18 matchup against a Rams defense that's given up the fourth-fewest fantasy points to opposing TEs over the last four weeks. | ||||
W/T | 102 | 17% (+1) | 29 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
W/R/T | 141 | 5% (–) | 96 | Deonte Harris earned only two targets in his return from a three-game suspension and he'll now head into a Week 18 matchup against an Atlanta defense that has allowed the seventh-most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season. | ||||
Q/W/R/T | 0 | 55% (-2) | 2441 | Jalen Hurts failed to find the end zone last game for the Eagles and it remains to be seen how much he will play in Week 18 versus the Cowboys as both teams have locked up playoff spots and can only maneuver slightly in terms of seeding; if Hurts 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. | ||||
BN | 98 | 53% (–) | 61 | DeVonta Smith caught three passes for 54 yards last game for the Eagles but it remains to be seen how much he will play in Week 18 versus the Cowboys as both teams have locked up playoff spots and can only maneuver slightly in terms of seeding; if Smith 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. | ||||
BN | 99 | 47% (+1) | 69 | Brandin Cooks has caught 22 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns over his past three games, so Houston's top wide receiver is rolling ahead of a Week 18 visit from a Titans secondary that has the second-most yards (2,966) to wide receivers, as well as 17 touchdowns to the position. | ||||
BN | 71 | 46% (–) | 55 | Tyler Higbee has posted at least 41 yards in each of the last three games he's played for the Rams, and he'll likely continue to see targets in a Week 18 matchup against a 49ers defense that's allowed 43 yards per game and the ninth-fewest fantasy points to opposing TEs over the last five weeks. | ||||
BN | 120 | 47% (+2) | 58 | Antonio Gibson could return from the reserve/COVID-19 list for Washington in Week 18 and would have a tasty matchup versus a reeling Giants defense allowing 122.9 rushing yards per tilt, which is 23rd in the league. | ||||
BN | 446 | 3% (–) | 1910 | Zach Wilson has thrown a touchdown in just five games this season for the Jets, and in Week 18, he'll get a Buffalo defense that ranks second in pass DVOA so far in 2021. | ||||
BN | 86 | 15% (–) | 117 | Nyheim Hines has seen sporadic usage recently with Jonathan Taylor getting the bulk of opportunities in the Colts' backfield, but Hines could see some extra run in the Week 18 season finale against Jacksonville if the Colts get up big early and start thinking about keeping Taylor fresh for the postseason. | ||||

K | 131 | 24% (-1) | 209 | Jake Elliott has at least two field goal makes in four-straight games for the Eagles but Philadelphia has already clinched a playoff spot and may not play its starters much in Week 18 versus a Cowboys squad allowing just 20.8 points per tilt, which is seventh in the NFL. | ||||
