Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 44.14 | 44% (–) | 67 | Jared Goff has thrown for 250-plus yards in 10 of the Lions' 16 games, accumulating a 28:12 TD:INT on the campaign, and in Week 18 he'll face a Vikings defense that has allowed opposing QBs to throw for 244.9 yards per tilt, which ranks 18th in the league. | ||||
QB | 41.11 | 35% (+1) | 59 | C.J. Stroud posted modest numbers in his return from a concussion last week, but he has had an outstanding rookie season overall with a 21:5 TD:INT across 14 appearances, and the Texans would take a win any way they can get it with a playoff berth on the line in Week 18 against a Colts pass defense that ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
WR | 17.76 | 92% (–) | 27 | Stefon Diggs has been held under 50 yards in six of his last seven outings for the Bills, and in Week 18, he'll face a Dolphins defense that has given up 28.0 fantasy points per game to wide receivers this season, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
WR | 24.80 | 91% (–) | 3 | Justin Jefferson has seen exactly 10 targets in three-straight games for the Vikings, averaging 6.0 receptions and 94.7 receiving yards during that stretch, and in Week 18 he'll square off against a Detroit defense that has allowed opposing WR groups to combine for 176.3 receiving yards per contest, which is tied for the fourth-highest average in the NFL this season. | ||||
WR | 10.98 | 25% (–) | 98 | Jakobi Meyers saw double-digit targets last week for the first time since Week 7, but with the Raiders having nothing to play for in Week 18, he's a candidate to be rested against a Broncos secondary that ranks in the top eight in catches and receiving TDs allowed to wideouts. | ||||
WR | 10.57 | 12% (+1) | 95 | Demarcus Robinson was held out of the end zone for the first time in five games for the Rams but did manage a season-high 92 receiving yards and will face a San Francisco squad in Week 18 that may be resting several starters, as the Niners have locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC. | ||||
RB | 29.95 | 85% (-1) | 28 | Austin Ekeler hasn't gotten into the end zone in the past three games, and even if the Chargers don't rest veterans like him in Week 18, he's unlikely to end the season on a high note against a Kansas City defense that's allowed only six rushing TDs to running backs all year, fifth in the league. | ||||
RB | 31.77 | 86% (–) | 25 | Tony Pollard has fewer than 60 yards rushing in four-straight games for the Cowboys but will face a suspect Washington run defense in Week 18 allowing 126.5 yards per clash on the ground, which is 25th in the NFL. | ||||
RB | 36.92 | 62% (+1) | 5 | De'Von Achane has topped 50 total yards just twice in his last five outings for the Dolphins, but if Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) is out again in Week 18, the rookie would likely get a bigger workload against a Bills defense that has allowed 18.5 fantasy points per game to running backs, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
RB | 21.80 | 1% (+1) | 88 | |||||
TE | 13.27 | 65% (–) | 41 | Dallas Goedert found the end zone last game for the Eagles but will face a Giants defense in Week 18 that's allowed 20 throwing touchdowns this season, which is tied for 11th in the NFL. | ||||
TE | 12.38 | 21% (–) | 58 | Gerald Everett has seen at least eight targets in four straight games, but the veteran tight end is a candidate to get rested in Week 18 as the Chargers take on a Kansas City defense that ranks third in receiving yards allowed to TEs. | ||||
BN | 10.55 | 28% (-1) | 2438 | Gus Edwards scored a touchdown for the third straight game last week, but with the Ravens having already locked up the top seed in the AFC and a first-round bye in the playoffs, he could get some rest in Week 18 against a Steelers defense that ranks 22nd in rushing yards allowed to RBs. | ||||
BN | 39.45 | 45% (+1) | 60 | Jordan Love has thrown multiple TD passes in seven of his last eight games, averaging 265.4 passing yards per tilt during that stretch, but the Packers host a Chicago defense in Week 18 that leads the NFL in INTs with 22. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 86% (-2) | 2090 | DeVonta Smith is nursing a mild ankle sprain for the Eagles but is expected to suit up in Week 18 versus a Giants defense allowing 233.3 passing yards per tilt, which is 20th in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 13.86 | 4% (+1) | 61 | Joshua Palmer missed last week's game with a concussion, and with the Chargers having nothing to play for in Week 18, they have little incentive to bring him back against a Kansas City secondary that ranks in the top eight in catches, receiving yards and TDs allowed to wideouts. | ||||
BN | 9.69 | 49% (–) | 85 | Kyle Pitts has been under 50 yards in three straight games as Atlanta heads into a Week 18 matchup with a Saints defense that has allowed a league-average 9.6 fantasy points per game to tight ends. | ||||
BN | 10.10 | 35% (–) | 78 | Dalton Kincaid posted a career-high 87 yards last week for the Bills, and in Week 18, the rookie tight end gets a Dolphins defense that has given up 9.8 fantasy points per game to his position in 2023, which ranks in the bottom half of the league. | ||||
BN | 38.19 | 15% (–) | 127 | Gardner Minshew has gone 7-5 as a starter this season and could lead the Colts to an improbable playoff berth if he can muster a Week 18 home win over a Texans defense that has allowed the seventh-most passing yards and the most rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks (seven) but is tied for the fewest passing TDs allowed (17). | ||||
BN | 32.80 | 37% (–) | 115 | Baker Mayfield has thrown for multiple touchdowns in four straight games as he leads Tampa Bay into a must-win Week 18 matchup against a Carolina defense that has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. | ||||
BN | 41.76 | 22% (+1) | 80 | Kyler Murray has thrown five touchdowns in his last two games for Arizona but will face a Seattle defense in Week 18 that's yielded just 20 throwing scores this season, which is tied for 11th in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 9.91 | 13% (–) | 2442 | Dameon Pierce has just 19 touches over Houston's last four games as the backup to Devin Singletary, so Pierce is unlikely to see enough volume to capitalize on a Week 18 matchup with a Colts defense that has allowed the third-most scrimmage yards and fourth-most rushing touchdowns to running backs. | ||||
BN | 32.20 | 1% (–) | 206 | Mason Rudolph has a stunning 11.1 YPA while leading the Steelers to two straight wins, and with the team still alive for a wild-card berth, he'll get the start again in Week 18 against a Ravens defense that ranks in the top 10 in passing yards and TDs allowed this season but could be resting multiple players. | ||||
BN | 34.48 | 3% (–) | 192 | Jarrett Stidham did just enough last week to lead the Broncos to a win, and with the team eliminated from playoff contention, he'll be playing to prove he deserves a job in 2024 during a Week 18 clash against a Raiders defense that ranks 10th in passing yards allowed. | ||||
BN | 33.98 | 3% (+1) | 121 | Tyrod Taylor threw for over 300 yards last game for the Giants and will face a subpar Eagles pass defense in Week 18 allowing 249.4 yards per tilt through the air, which is 28th in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 0% (–) | 2520 | Jacoby Brissett could start in Week 18 for Washington if he recovers in time from a hamstring ailment, though would face a stout Dallas defense allowing just 190.9 yards per contest through the air, which is fifth in the NFL. |

K | 71.56 | 92% (–) | 110 | Brandon Aubrey has hit multiple field goals in four of the last five games for the Cowboys and will face a dismal Washington squad in Week 18 allowing 30 points per contest, which is dead last in the league. |
