Hey, RotoBallers! The fantasy football regular season is decided for most leagues. However, for fantasy managers with something to play for in Week 18, we are back with our NFL team's Week 18 fantasy football PPR rankings for fantasy football.

NFL teams have secured a playoff spot and will be resting starters for the season finale. The Ravens, Chiefs, Browns, 49ers, and Rams can't change their current seed in the playoffs and are already sitting vital starters such as Patrick Mahomes, Matthew Stafford, Lamar Jackson, Kyren Williams, Cooper Kupp, Joe Flacco, Christian McCaffrey, and Brock Purdy. The rankings will continue to update as more news comes out. Let's see where key fantasy options such as De'Von Achane, Zamir White, Ezekiel Elliott, Khalil Herbert, Demarcus Robinson, Ty Chandler, Breece Hall, Joshua Palmer, and James Cook rank this week.

Our PPR fantasy football rankings for Week 18 are assembled by Nick Mariano, Scott Engel, Andersen Pickard, and Brandon Murchinson. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will find a summary of this week's important fantasy football injury news. There are always critical injuries to track, so check back until kickoff.

Week 18 PPR Rankings Analysis

A new feature has been added to our weekly fantasy football rankings article. Below, you will find our fantasy football outlooks for key options in Week 18, which gives readers a matchup preview of that player and advice on whether to start or avoid for the upcoming week. We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.

De'Von Achane, RB, Miami Dolphins
Week 18 Overall PPR Rankings: 26
Week 18 Running Back PPR Rankings: 12

Miami Dolphins running back De'Von Achane found pay dirt again in Week 17 and returned to his big yardage totals for the first time since Week 13. His efforts on the ground were the main reason the Dolphins didn't get blown out even more against the Baltimore Ravens. Now, in a final regular season game that carries a bunch of playoff implications, Achane will be the No. 1 back again, with Raheem Mostert (knee/ankle) set to miss a second consecutive game.

If Mostert gets downgraded, Achane's value increases to more of an RB1, but he remains at an RB2 level until that officially gets announced. Buffalo ranks right in the middle of the pack against the run this season, so there are ways to beat them on the ground.

Demarcus Robinson, WR, Los Angeles Rams
Week 18 Overall PPR Rankings: 70
Week 18 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: 35

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Demarcus Robinson is expected to be active on Sunday despite the majority of starters resting for the team. Robinson has played over 90% of snaps in each of the last four weeks and has locked himself in as the team's WR3 over Tutu Atwell.

The 29-year-old is averaging about 64 yards per game over the last five and has scored a touchdown in four of those five games. Considering the importance of his role, Robinson may be limited in Week 18. Be cautious when playing him against the San Francisco 49ers this week.

Zamir White, RB, Las Vegas Raiders
Week 18 Overall PPR Rankings: 19
Week 18 Running Back PPR Rankings: 8

Las Vegas Raiders running back Zamir White has been the team's starting running back since Week 15 and has looked dominant in the role since taking over. White ran for 71 yards on 20 carries last week against the Indianapolis Colts. In addition to his massive workload on the ground, White brought in five of his six targets for 35 receiving yards. White has stepped up in the absence of Josh Jacobs, and he should continue to dominate in Week 18.

White faces the Denver Broncos in the final game of the season. The Broncos have allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game to running backs this season. White is heavily involved on the ground and in the passing game, which makes him extremely valuable. Fantasy managers should not think twice because White is essentially a must-start.

Khalil Herbert, RB, Chicago Bears
Week 18 Overall PPR Rankings: 56
Week 18 Running Back PPR Rankings: 28

Chicago Bears running back Khalil Herbert (back, personal) is listed as questionable to play on Sunday in Green Bay against the Packers. Herbert popped up on the injury report in Week 18 on Thursday with a limited practice and did not practice at all on Friday, putting his status in question for the season finale. Making the 25-year-old even more of a shaky fantasy option this weekend is the fact that the Bears don't play until the later window on Sunday.

It's potentially bad news for fantasy managers in season-long leagues still playing for a championship, as Herbert has been Chicago's backfield leader the last two games and has gone over 100 yards rushing in each contest with two touchdowns. If he does not play or is limited against Green Bay, rookie Roschon Johnson and D'Onta Foreman will split Chicago's backfield duties.

Joshua Palmer, WR, Los Angeles Chargers
Week 18 Overall PPR Rankings: 65
Week 18 Wide Receiver PPR Rankings: 31

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Joshua Palmer (concussion) has cleared the league's protocol and will be available for the Week 18 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Palmer will be the No. 1 wideout for this offense, with Keenan Allen (heel) ruled out for this game. On paper, Palmer could be an interesting DFS option, with the Chiefs likely resting most of their starters.

However, Easton Stick will be under center for the Chargers, which doesn't bode well for their offense. Palmer has produced nine receptions for 160 yards and a touchdown in two games with Stick as the starter. The two of them could team up to have a good performance to close out the regular season.

Week 18 PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football: Top-400

Rankings are updated until kick-off. Be sure to bookmark our weekly PPR rankings, Half-PPR rankings, and Standard rankings.

Note that quarterbacks, defenses, and kickers are all grouped separately toward the bottom. Each of those positions is ranked on its own. This helps to compare running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends for FLEX spots (without QB, DEF, and K mixed in).
