Fantasy Football 2025: Week 18 Wide Receiver Rankings

We made it to Week 18, and that means, unfortunately, this will be my last wide receiver rankings of the season. Most fantasy championships happened last week; for other leagues, this is championship week. Week 18 brings some difficulties as some teams will be resting players. While other teams fighting for seeding or a playoff spot will be laying it all on the line.

Wide Receiver Notes

• Let’s start with Chris Olave as my WR4 going against the Falcons. Atlanta is giving up the 10th most fantasy points per game to wide receivers in 28.2. This is great for Olave as he has been crushing it in the last few weeks. In his last three weeks, he has four receiving touchdowns and 352 receiving yards. He has finished as the WR2 in back-to-back weeks. The Saints are already eliminated, as are the Falcons. So this will be a stat-padding game for Olave. I expect a high-scoring game.
• Next, I have Justin Jefferson as my WR23 going against the Packers. Jefferson has been benchable since Week 10, and all signs point to dropping him this week. Both teams are eliminated, but Jefferson has not seen more than 10 targets since Week 10. He has only scored in the double digits just once since Week 10. All signs point to Jefferson on the bench this week. Or drop him to make room for other pick-ups.
• Lastly, I have Parker Washington as my WR21 against the Titans. Washington is a wild card this week, but you gotta ride the hot hand. In his last two weeks, he scored 23.5 and 15 fantasy points. He also had 10 targets in each of those games. The Titans’ defense is giving up 29.2 fantasy points per game to wide receivers. Washington is getting a ton of volume, and I expect him to continue this production in what will be a high-scoring game as well.
