Fantasy | Rank | Matchup | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Pos | Offense | Action | Proj Pts | % Start Trend | Proj | Rating | Comment | |
QB | 5 | 55% (–) | 86 | Tua Tagovailoa has thrown for at least 215 yards in all but one outing for the Dolphins in 2023, but in Week 18, he'll get a Bills defense that has given up 15.2 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season, the seventh-best total in the league. | ||||
WR | 1 | 36% (+1) | 51 | George Pickens has erupted for an 11-326-2 line on 15 targets over two games with Mason Rudolph under center, and with the Steelers still alive for a wild-card berth, he figures to see heavy volume in Week 18 against a Ravens secondary that ranks 26th in catches allowed to wideouts and could be resting multiple players. | ||||
WR | 2 | 62% (+1) | 14 | Nico Collins reached 80 receiving yards for the seventh time this season last week as Texans QB C.J. Stroud returned from a concussion, and with Houston's receiving corps banged up, Collins should see plenty of Week 18 volume against a Colts secondary that's been stingier than average against wide receivers. | ||||
RB | 5 | 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. | ||||
TE | 1 | 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. | ||||
W/T | 1 | 33% (–) | 93 | Diontae Johnson posted his best yardage total since early November last week, and with the Steelers still alive for a wild-card berth, he could see heavy target volume in Week 18 against a Ravens secondary that ranks 26th in catches allowed to wideouts and could be resting multiple players. | ||||
BN | 4 | 56% (–) | 55 | Najee Harris is coming off his best performance of the season, and with the Steelers still alive for a wild-card berth, he should see a heavy workload in Week 18 against a Ravens defense that has allowed the second-fewest rushing touchdowns to running backs (four) but could be resting multiple players. | ||||
BN | 0 | 2% (–) | 2499 | |||||
BN | 0 | 87% (-2) | 2473 | Lamar Jackson may have locked up the MVP Award with his five touchdown passes against the Dolphins last week, and with the top seed in the AFC already secured, the Ravens could elect to give their franchise QB some rest in Week 18 against a Steelers defense that ranks 23rd in passing yards allowed. | ||||
BN | 1 | 92% (-2) | 181 | Deebo Samuel could be rested in Week 18 as San Francisco has locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC, though if he does take the field against the Rams, Samuel would be facing a defense allowing 234.6 passing yards per tilt, which is 24th in the NFL. | ||||
BN | 2 | 87% (–) | 37 | Mike Evans has reached at least 70 receiving yards in four of his last six games as Tampa Bay heads into a Week 18 matchup against a Panthers defense that has allowed the third-fewest yards to opposing wide receivers this season. | ||||
BN | 1 | 24% (–) | 117 | Pat Freiermuth has seen only four targets in two games with Mason Rudolph starting at quarterback for the Steelers, and even with the team still fighting for a wild-card spot and the Ravens potentially resting multiple players, he'll be a risky option in Week 18 against a defense that's allowed only three touchdowns all season to tight ends, tied for third in the league. | ||||
BN | 1 | 88% (-1) | 185 | Brandon Aiyuk could be rested in Week 18 as San Francisco has locked up the No. 1 seed in the NFC, though if he does take the field against the Rams, Aiyuk would be facing a defense allowing 234.6 passing yards per tilt, which is 24th in the NFL. | ||||

K | 7 | 22% (–) | 186 | Chris Boswell has been perfect over the last two games with five field goals and seven extra points, and with the Steelers fighting for a wild-card spot and the Ravens potentially resting multiple players, he could be busy in Week 18, even against a team allowing a league-low 16.4 points per game. | ||||
