Fantasy WR Rankings Week 18 Who to start

Its finally Week 18, and while most leagues ended last week, there are a select few of you still vying for fantasy football greatne s. Whether you're prepping for your Week 18 championship or getting a head start on advice for DFS contests, our Week 18 fantasy WR rankings for standard and PPR leagues can guide you in the right direction.Throughout the week, well be amending our rankings once news breaks regarding fantasy-relevant WRs playing statuses. While were unsure of which WRs will actually start, youd be wise to start WRs playing against the Bears, Lions, Falcons, Raiders, and Seahawks. Entering Week 17, those five defenses ranked at the bottom Eric Murray Jersey of the league in highest EPA/drop-back allowed.Conversely, the Patriots, 49ers, Eagles, Broncos, and Cowboys rank atop the league in the fewest EPA/drop-back allowed, so avoiding WRs playing those teams could be a smart move. Again, with a lot of news still to break and moving parts, its tough to project exactly how this week will unfold.WEEK 18 FANTASY RANKINGS: | | | | With the Eagles failing to clinch the top spot in the NFC, its likely both A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith (vs. Giants in Week 18) suit up this week. That also means CeeDee Lamb, Michael Gallup, and Noah Brown (@ Commanders) will play with Dallas still in the running for the NFCs top seed. San Franciscos also got a shot at the No. 1 seed, meaning Brandon Aiyuk, and Deebo Samuel (ankle) could play in Week 18.Additionally, we know Christian Watson, Allen Lazard, and Romeo Doubs (vs. Lions) will play in a win-and-in matchup against the Lions. While Detroits defense has improved over the second half of the season, they still rank dead last in EPA/play, making all three viable starting options depending on the size of your league. That also means Amon-Ra St. Brown, DJ Chark, Josh Reynolds, Kalif Raymond and Jameson Williams (@ Packers) will be suiting up opposite Green Bay.We probably won't see any key Buccaneers WRs suit up with Tampa locked into its playoff spot, so don't be alarmed when Mike Evans and Chris Godwin aren't included in this week's rankings, but Ru sell Gage, Scotty Miller, and Breshad Perriman (@ Falcons) all loom as potential sleepers. There's a shot the Chargers WRs suit up with a chance at the fifth seed in the AFC, so Keenan Allen and Mike Williams owners can roll Denzel Ward Jersey them out in their starting lineups.The Giants are locked into the sixth seed in the NFC, but Brian Daboll dismi sed the idea of resting starters in Sunday's post-game pre s conference. Whether it's gamesmanship or not, Richie James Jr., Isaiah Hodgins, and Darius Slayton (@ Eagles) are in our initial rankings. It's also still too early to gauge how the non-playoff teams will approach the week, so for now their respective WRs are in our initial rankings.On the sleeper front, Treylon Burks (@ Jaguars), Tyquan Thornton (@ Bills), Trenton Irwin (vs. Ravens), Van Jefferson (@ Seahawks), Jauan Jennings (vs. Cardinals) and Hunter Renfrow (vs. Chiefs) could make their way into flex spots in 12-man leagues, a suming they're trending toward playing. Thornton, Irwin, Jefferson, and Renfrow are better suited for PPR leagues while Burks and Jennings profile as better standard league plays. Again, Week 18 is the hardest week to project with news breaking in the days leading up to kickoff, and well do our best to alter our rankings accordingly.Note: We'll be updating these WR rankings as needed throughout the week, so check back for the latest changes.
