Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 18.21 | 84% (–) | 68 | Justin Herbert threw multiple touchdowns last week for the first time since Week 12, but with the Chargers trying to secure the fifth seed in the AFC, he may need to be productive again versus a Broncos defense that held him to 238 yards and zero TDs in their first meeting this season. | ||||
WR | 13.16 | 57% (+1) | 44 | Brandon Aiyuk has at least 81 yards in each of the 49ers' last two games, but his inconsistent target volume will make him a volatile fantasy option in a Week 18 matchup against a Cardinals defense that's allowed 136 receiving yards per game and the sixth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing WRs. | ||||
WR | 8.70 | 45% (-1) | 139 | Adam Thielen has just two catches on nine targets over the last two weeks, coinciding with T.J. Hockenson garnering 28 targets, making him a touchdown dependent option in the Vikings' Week 18 matchup against a Bears defense that's allowed 7.5 ypa and 21 touchdown passes to date. | ||||
RB | 13.66 | 94% (–) | 24 | Nick Chubb has scored 12 touchdowns this season for the Browns, and in Week 18, he gets a Pittsburgh defense that has given up 90.4 rushing yards per game to running backs in 2022, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
RB | 12.37 | 80% (+1) | 38 | Najee Harris has put up at least 92 yards or a touchdown in each of his last eight games for the Steelers, and in Week 18, he'll get a Cleveland defense that has given up 117.3 rushing yards per game to running backs so far this season, the fifth-highest total in the league. | ||||
TE | 12.88 | 95% (–) | 23 | George Kittle has scored five TDs over the 49ers' last three games, and he'll remain a must-start fantasy option in a Week 18 matchup against a Cardinals defense that's allowed 10 touchdowns and the second-most fantasy points to opposing TEs. | ||||
W/R/T | 13.63 | 29% (+1) | 37 | Tyler Lockett was in and out of the lineup with a leg injury in Seattle's last game, so he may need a good week of practice to be a strong fantasy option going into a Week 18 matchup against a Rams defense that's allowed 161 yards per game and the 15th-fewest fantasy points to opposing WRs. | ||||
BN | 7.89 | 9% (–) | 165 | Curtis Samuel appears to have been supplanted by rookie Jahan Dotson on the depth chart, as Samuel managed just one touch last game for Washington, and will face a solid Cowboys pass defense in Week 18 allowing 203.6 passing yards per tilt, which is ninth in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 7.82 | 26% (–) | 143 | Zonovan Knight has been held to under 45 total yards and out of the end zone in each of his last three games for the Jets, and in Week 18, he gets a Miami defense that has given up 70.2 rushing yards per game to running backs in 2022, the third-lowest total in the league. | ||||
BN | 10.33 | 33% (+1) | 89 | In his last outing, Raheem Mostert scored for the first time in his last five games for the Dolphins, and in Week 18, he'll get a Jets defense that has given up 93.2 rushing yards per game to running backs in 2022, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
BN | 7.80 | 21% (–) | 154 | Cordarrelle Patterson recorded a season-high six receptions in Atlanta's Week 17 game, and he will now head into a Week 18 matchup against a Tampa Bay defense that has allowed 26 receptions to opposing running backs across the last five weeks. | ||||
BN | 9.34 | 4% (–) | 119 | Chase Claypool hasn't recorded a catch in the Bears last three games, and while the volume in this passing attack remains incredibly low, he's at least in a positive spot in Week 18 against the Vikings, a defense that has allowed at least 79 yards to an opposing receiver six times in the last five weeks. | ||||
BN | 6.42 | 7% (–) | 135 | Robert Tonyan scored and topped 50 yards for just the second time all season last week, making it more likely he reverts to the norm rather than creates a late-season surge as the Packers face the Lions in Week 18, a defense that's allowed opposing tight ends to score a massive 11 times to date. | ||||

K | 8.27 | 96% (-1) | 177 | Justin Tucker has been perhaps the best kicker in the league since he joined the Ravens in 2012, but in Week 18, he gets a Cincinnati defense that has given up 20.4 points per game so far in 2022, the seventh-lowest total in the league. | ||||
