Recap
Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 23.13 | 28% (–) | 70 | Trevor Lawrence missed Jacksonville's previous game due to a shoulder injury and lost his last four starts before that, but if he's healthy enough to play, Lawrence would return to the starting role for a win-and-in Week 18 road game against Tennessee's middling pass defense. | ||||
WR | 22.47 | 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 | 14.07 | 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. | ||||
RB | 18.05 | 64% (+1) | 19 | James Conner scored twice last game for Arizona and will face a dismal Seattle run defense in Week 18 ranked in the bottom-five of the NFL in both rushing yards and rushing touchdowns allowed this season. | ||||
RB | 15.96 | 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. | ||||
TE | 10.05 | 29% (+1) | 56 | Listed as Inactive. | ||||
W/R/T | 10.83 | 26% (+1) | 76 | Brandin Cooks has scored in back-to-back games for the Cowboys and will face a dismal Washington pass defense in Week 18 that's allowed the most passing touchdowns in the NFL this season. | ||||
W/R/T | 9.89 | 6% (–) | 94 | K.J. Osborn didn't see a target last time out after earning at least two targets in each of the previous 14 games he's played in for the Vikings, but in Week 18 he gets a Lions defense that has allowed 8.6 yards per target to opposing WRs this season, which ranks 25th in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 7.14 | 44% (–) | 2620 | Jerome Ford topped 100 scrimmage yards last week for the first time since Week 10 while hauling in two receiving touchdowns, but with the Browns locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC, he could get rested in Week 18 against a Bengals defense allowing 4.60 yards per carry to running backs, 30th in the league. | ||||
BN | 7.25 | 4% (–) | 2235 | Justice Hill topped 100 scrimmage yards last week for the first time in his career despite seeing only eight touches, and if the Ravens elect to rest veterans in Week 18, he could get a bigger workload against a Steelers defense that ranks 22nd in rushing yards allowed to RBs. | ||||
BN | 7.82 | 0% (–) | 166 | Trey Palmer has seen his target volume tick back up of late by combining for 11 opportunities across the last two games as the Buccaneers head into a Week 18 matchup against a Carolina defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers. | ||||
BN | 9.34 | 0% (–) | 173 | |||||
BN | 4.46 | 0% (–) | 2562 | Israel Abanikanda has seen at least six touches in three straight outings for the Jets, and in Week 18, he faces a Patriots defense that has allowed 17.7 fantasy points per game to running backs in 2023, which ranks in the middle of the pack. | ||||
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. | ||||
BN | 3.63 | 0% (–) | 2565 | Kevin Harris totaled a career-best 69 total yards his last time out for the Patriots, and in Week 18, he'll get a Jets defense that has allowed 22.8 fantasy points per game to running backs this season, the seventh-highest total in the league. | ||||
BN | 5.87 | 0% (–) | 131 | Durham Smythe hasn't topped 56 yards in an outing this season for the Dolphins, and in Week 18, he'll get a Bills defense that has given up 8.0 fantasy points per game to tight ends, the sixth-lowest total in the league. | ||||
IR | 0.00 | 1% (–) | 1855 | Michael Mayer has missed the last two games with a toe injury, but if the Raiders' rookie is healthy, he should suit up in Week 18 against a Broncos defense that's given up the second-most receiving yards and most TDs in the league to tight ends. | ||||
IR | 0.00 | 0% (–) | 2254 | |||||

K | 11.60 | 74% (-1) | 144 | Evan McPherson hasn't kicked more than two field goals in a game since Week 3, giving him limited upside in Week 18 as the Bengals take on a Browns team that has allowed just 23 field-goal attempts all season, tied for third in the league. | ||||
BN | 10.15 | 74% (–) | 176 | Jason Sanders has missed just four of his 28 field-goal attempts this season for the Dolphins, but in Week 18, he gets a Bills defense that has allowed 18.6 points per game, the fourth-fewest in the league. | ||||
