Let’s face it: Nearly all of fantasy soccer leagues have been concluded and a champion has been topped, however a handful of leagues are nonetheless going. Even when your league is finished, our Week 18 fantasy QB rankings may also help you determine some high DFS targets, so, whereas most fantasy house owners are achieved with their start-or-sit choices, these rankings nonetheless carry some (albeit little or no) worth.

As all the time with the ultimate week of the common season, you by no means know which groups are literally going to play their starters or determine to sit down their starters mid-game. Particularly this early within the week, these rankings are considerably of a guess, however we’ll be sure you make changes in a while. Clearly, groups preventing for playoff seeding or berths are going to play their full complement of men, so these are the most secure choices. This 12 months, groups have been very shut within the playoff race, so finally, we may have extra groups when one thing to play for than normal. Because the Packers have clinched the No. 1 seed within the NFC, it could be shocking if Aaron Rodgers and different Packers’ key starters play, so Jordan Love ought to be in line to start out.

WEEK 18 FANTASY RANKINGS (PPR & STANDARD):
Operating again | Extensive receiver | Tight finish | D/ST | Kicker

As issues sit now, Patrick Mahomes (@ Broncos) and Tom Brady (vs. Panthers) have the hardest matchups, however assuming Kansas Metropolis and Tampa Bay are going all in for the “W” in Week 18, you have to begin them anyway.

On the start-or-sit bubble Taysom Hill (@ Falcons), Kirk Cousins (vs. Bears), Davis Mills (vs. Titans), and Justin Fields (@ Vikings) all have top-10 matchups for QBs. Ryan Tannehill (@ Texans) is near having one, too. Nevertheless, we all know the Titans are competing for the AFC’s No. 1 seed, and Houston has nothing to play for and has one of many worst rosters within the league. Mills and Fields technically haven’t got a lot to play for, however you need to assume Houston and Chicago wish to see as many video games from their rookie QBs as attainable and can look to construct momentum for subsequent 12 months. Mills, specifically, is making an attempt to earn a beginning alternative subsequent season.

We’re not excessive on Tua Tagovailoa (vs. Patriots), Jimmy Garoppolo (@ Rams), Derek Carr (vs. Chargers), and Mac Jones (@ Dolphins). We all know none of those 4 signal-callers are must-start studs, and the matchups are too powerful for actual consideration. (Nevertheless, if Trey Lance began for San Francisco, he’d be extra attention-grabbing.) There are gamers like Ben Roethlisberger (@ Ravens) and Carson Wentz (vs. Jaguars) with juicy matchups, nevertheless it’s powerful to belief them. Huge Ben has an ultra-low flooring, even with a ton of passing makes an attempt, and he is solely gotten worse because the climate has gotten colder. For Wentz, the matchup clearly appears to be like nice on paper, however when Indianapolis blows groups out, it is Jonathan Taylor who goes off for a monster fantasy day, and all the opposite Colts just about go silent. Numerous time, recreation script issues greater than a positive matchup.

Once more, so much may change with this wacky week that’s Week 18 as a result of there are many groups packing it in for the offseason, and naturally, we’ll doubtless see a ton of gamers find yourself on the reserve/COVID record as soon as once more. This week is as unpredictable because it will get, so you need to query your commissioner in case your league remains to be enjoying, severely.

Be aware: We’ll be updating these QB rankings all through the week, so examine again for the newest participant motion.
