Quarterbacks
Trevor Lawrence ($6.4K) @ Tennessee Titans
Lawrence has been fantasy’s QB1 over the last six weeks, and he gets a prime pass-funnel matchup Sunday. The Titans have allowed the second fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points to running backs over the last five weeks but the fourth most to quarterbacks over that span. Lawrence has shown real development over the second half of the season, and he’s up to nine rushing scores on the year. Jacksonville has incentive to win to secure the AFC South, so Lawrence looks like the top QB in Week 18.
Jaxson Dart ($5.7K) vs. Dallas Cowboys
Dart bounced back last week after an awful game against a Minnesota defense that’s shutting down all quarterbacks. He had nine rush attempts (two went for TDs) for the second time in three weeks, so the rookie’s fantasy upside remains. Dart continues to be way underpriced despite a matchup against a Dallas defense allowing 8.2 YPA and an NFL-high 33 passing touchdowns. The Cowboys have ceded 15% more QB fantasy points than any other team this season, and this matchup will be fast paced.
Tanner McKee ($4.5K) vs. Washington Commanders
McKee is set to start Sunday along with the rest of Philadelphia’s backups. He’ll be without weapons in a system that missed Kellen Moore all season, but McKee is a DFS option at the near minimum. He’s flashed in the preseason and performed well during his Week 18 start last season. McKee can play, and the Eagles have a respectable team total (22.5 points). The Commanders have allowed the second most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
Others: Drake Maye ($7.1K), Caleb Williams ($5.9K), Chris Oladokun ($4.5K)
Running Backs
Bijan Robinson ($8.7K) vs. New Orleans Saints
Robinson carried fantasy teams to championships during the biggest game of his career last week. He’s seen 30 targets over the last three weeks and has averaged 27.2 DK fantasy points at home this season. The Saints have a solid run defense, but game-script should be positive with Atlanta 3.5-point favorites. The Falcons don’t have any motivation (outside of knocking Tampa Bay out of the playoffs), but Robinson is 254 scrimmage yards away from the NFL record.
Jahmyr Gibbs ($8.0K) @ Chicago Bears
Gibbs somehow has just 81 scoreless rushing yards on 37 carries over the last three games, but the guess here is Dan Campbell wants the Lions’ season to go out on a high note. Chicago just let Christian McCaffrey run for the most yards in the first half of his career despite San Francisco losing LT Trent Williams on the game’s first play last week, and Detroit is due for a bounce back after just facing Minnesota. Gibbs could see even mare targets with Amon-Ra St. Brown banged up and at risk of missing this week.
Tank Bigsby ($5.4K) vs. Washington Commanders
Bigsby has played extremely well whenever given the opportunity in Philadelphia, and his role will be expanded Sunday. Will Shipley will get touches, but Bigsby should be the Eagles’ lead back. Philadelphia has a 22.5-point team total despite resting its starters, and Washington has been gashed for the second most schedule-adjusted RB rush fantasy points over the last five weeks. That said, Bigsby will likely be one of the most popular DFS plays this week, so a fade here should be considered if you prefer to be contrarian.
Others: James Cook ($7.9K), Chase Brown ($7.6K), RJ Harvey ($6.8K), D’Andre Swift ($5.9K)
Wide Receivers
Puka Nacua ($9.0K) vs. Arizona Cardinals
Nacua’s salary has dipped slightly thanks to a “quiet” performance last week, but he averaged 39.7 DK fantasy points over his previous three games. Davante Adams remains out, and Sean McVay has stated he’ll play to win coming off a couple of losses. There’s still risk of Los Angeles pulling its starters early, but Nacua may only need one half against an Arizona secondary dealing with numerous injuries. It’s possible to jam Robinson, Gibbs and Nacua into lineups given the nature of Week 18.
Wan’Dale Robinson ($6.1K) vs. Dallas Cowboys
Robinson’s status needs to be monitored as he’s questionable with a rib injury, but he’s a strong DFS option if good to go. Robinson owns a whopping 37.9% target share over the last three weeks, and he became the first player 5'8'' and under with a 1,000-yard receiving season since 1990. The Cowboys have allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers this season, including the most schedule-adjusted over the last five weeks.
Luther Burden III ($5.3K) vs. Detroit Lions
Burden’s 2026 fantasy stock took a huge jump after the rookie was the WR1 last week. He ranks third in yards per route run this season and first in yards per target over expectation. Small sample caveats apply, but Burden’s college stock likely would’ve been a lot higher if not for catching passes from Brady Cook. The rookie WR can clearly play more than the slot, and Rome Odunze will likely remain out Sunday. Burden is someone to target in what could be a shootout this week, and he returned to a full practice Thursday.
Others: Ja’Marr Chase ($8.5K), Michael Wilson ($6.6K), Jakobi Meyers ($5.6K), Darius Cooper ($3.3K)
Tight Ends
Colston Loveland vs. Detroit Lions
Loveland looks like a monster now that he’s finally been unleashed in a full-time role, and he’ll benefit from Odunze’s likely continued absence. This matchup has a 50.5-point total and will be fast paced. Chicago needs to win to secure the No. 2 seed, and this could easily turn into a similar shootout the Bears just had Sunday night.
Others: Juwan Johnson ($4.2K), Colby Parkinson ($3.7K), Grant Calcaterra ($2.6K)
