2023 Week 18 Fantasy Football Rankings (Weekend Update!)

Week 18 is here! Whether your squad is playing for a championship or third place, it’s time to put your team in the best position to bring home a win with my Week 18 Fantasy Football Rankings.

Week 17’s script gave us an absolute DOMINANT performance from future 2023-24 MVP Lamar Jackson. The 26-year-old completed 18-of-21 passes for 321 yards and five tuddies to go along with 35 rushing yards. Other notable fantasy performances: Jordan Love (28.4 fantasy points), Kyren Williams (28.1), CeeDee Lamb (27.2), James Conner (25.3), Justin Fields (25.2), and Kyler Murray (24.7). Lastly, Harrison Butker had the 11th-most fantasy points on the week with a WHOPPING 24 fantasy points. The 28-year-old went 6-for-6 while hitting from 54, 43, 27, 24, 48, and 46 and an extra point to boot.

Players to Monitor Throughout the Week

  1. The Cleveland Browns: Joe Flacco will sit in Week 18, making way for Jeff Driskel to start. Amari Cooper missed last Thursday’s game due to a heel injury. He is reportedly “feeling better”. Elijah Moore was placed in concussion protocol on Dec. 29th. David Njoku has been rumored to join Flacco on the pine in Week 18. The whole Cleveland offense looks like a situation to avoid.
  2. Trevor Lawrence: Lawrence (shoulder) is improving and considered day-to-day leading up to Sunday’s contest against the Titans. Christian Kirk’s 21-day practice window opened on Wednesday, and he could return this week.
  3. Alvin Kamara: Kamara is currently rehabbing an ankle sprain he suffered during Week 17’s win over the Buccaneers. His status for Week 18 is unclear.
  4. Other notable fantasy studs to monitor throughout the week: Josh Allen (neck), Tua Tagovailoa (shoulder), Zay Flowers (calf), Najee Harris (knee), Rhamondre Stevenson (ankle), Baker Mayfield (ribs), Taylor Heinicke (ankle), Tyler Higbee (shoulder), and Noah Brown (hip)
