Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 0.00 | 85% (-3) | 2552 | Patrick Mahomes and Kansas City have nothing to play for in Week 18 after locking up their eighth straight AFC West title, but the team's erratic offensive performance this season could encourage Andy Reid to leave his starters on the field for a confidence-boosting matchup with a Chargers defense that ranks 31st in passing yards allowed. | ||||
WR | 10.66 | 98% (–) | 40 | Amon-Ra St. Brown has scored a receiving TD in six of the last eight contests, averaging 88.3 receiving yards during that stretch, but it's unclear how many snaps he'll log for the playoff-bound Lions in Week 18 against a Vikings defense that has allowed opposing WR groups to combine for 30.8 fantasy points per game, which ranks 26th in the NFL. | ||||
WR | 15.02 | 98% (–) | 4 | A.J. Brown managed just five targets last game for the Eagles but will look to bounce back in Week 18 versus a Giants defense allowing 233.3 passing yards per tilt, which is 20th in the NFL. | ||||
RB | 14.24 | 68% (–) | 10 | Jonathan Taylor has scored a touchdown or topped 90 rushing yards in each of his last seven appearances -- hitting both benchmarks in the same game twice -- and the star Colts running back should play a pivotal role in a win-and-in Week 18 game against a Texans defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest rushing yards to RBs (1,088) but is tied for the 12th-most rushing TDs (10) allowed to the position. | ||||
RB | 13.56 | 92% (–) | 18 | Travis Etienne will face a Titans defense that's allowing just 3.9 yards per carry in Week 18, and Jacksonville's workhorse running back failed to crack 50 rushing yards in four consecutive games prior to breaking out with 102 yards and two touchdowns on the ground last week against the porous Panthers run defense. | ||||
TE | 0.00 | 94% (-2) | 1819 | Travis Kelce failed to take advantage of a soft matchup last week against the Bengals, and with Kansas City having clinched another AFC West title, he's a prime candidate to be rested in Week 18 against a Chargers defense that ranks in the bottom 10 in catches and receiving yards allowed to tight ends. | ||||
W/R/T | 12.81 | 89% (–) | 24 | Rachaad White has gained only 81 rushing yards on 31 carries combined across his last two games, but Tampa Bay will head into an exploitable Week 18 matchup against a Carolina defense that has allowed the fourth-most rushing yards this season. | ||||
W/R/T | 16.92 | 93% (–) | 2 | Tyreek Hill is averaging over 110 yards per outing for the Dolphins this season, and in Week 18, he'll take on a Bills defense that has given up 24.5 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, the seventh-best total in the league. | ||||
BN | 21.56 | 95% (–) | 16 | Josh Allen has accounted for multiple touchdowns in each of his last 14 outings for the Bills, and in Week 18, he'll get a Dolphins defense that has given up 17.7 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks in 2023, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
BN | 0.00 | 40% (–) | 2277 | Raheem Mostert has scored in all but four games for the Dolphins this season, and if he can go in Week 18 after missing the previous game due to knee and ankle injuries, he would face a Bills defense that has allowed 18.5 fantasy points per game to running backs, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
BN | 12.30 | 64% (+1) | 32 | Kenneth Walker's status for the Seahawks for Week 18 is up in the air due to a shoulder injury; if he can take the field, Walker will take on a suspect Arizona run defense allowing the most rushing yards in the NFL this season. | ||||
BN | 11.59 | 83% (–) | 30 | DK Metcalf crossed the 100-yard receiving mark for the third time this season for Seattle and will face an Arizona defense in Week 18 allowing 214 passing yards per tilt, which is 13th in the NFL. | ||||
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 | 6.67 | 84% (-1) | 79 | Sam LaPorta turned a season-high 12 targets into seven catches for 84 yards last time out, but it's unclear how many snaps he'll log for the playoff-bound Lions in Week 18 against a Vikings defense that has allowed opposing TEs to gain 43.8 receiving yards per game, which is tied for the seventh-lowest average in the NFL this season. | ||||

K | 8.42 | 82% (-1) | 145 | Jake Elliott booted four field goals for the Eagles the last time they played their Week 18 opponent, the New York Giants, whose squad is allowing 24.8 points per contest, which is 28th in the NFL. | ||||
