Week 18 is always difficult to navigate in fantasy football, as a significant chunk of teams have "nothing" to play for and some teams won't play any starters at all. However, there are some leagues that extend to Week 18, and DFS gamers will still be plugged in. We're here to help with our our Week 18 fantasy football half-PPR rankings for fantasy football, as of January 4th. Our goal as always is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players like D'Andre Swift, Mike Williams, DJ Moore, Tony Pollard, Cam Akers, and Chris Godwin rank, among others.
Our half-PPR fantasy football rankings are put together by Nick Mariano, Brandon Murchison and Andersen Pickard. In addition to our staff rankings, below you will also find a summary of the important fantasy football injury news for this week. There are always key injuries to keep track of, so be sure to check back until kickoff.
You should also bookmark our fantasy football rankings portal and check back regularly for updates.

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