Week 18 FLEX Rankings for Fantasy Football: Zack Moss, Latavius Murray, Drake London, Chris Olave, Gabe Davis, D'Onta Foreman

First and foremost, everyone here at RotoBaller has Damar Hamlin in our thoughts. Fortunately, he has improved tremendously, which is a relief.

Navigating the tight end position is never easy, but most top-tier tight ends play in meaningful Week 18 games.

We remain hopeful for promising news regarding Demar Hamlin as both he and his family continue to be in our thoughts and prayers.

Panthers Defense Not On The Fantasy Radar

The Carolina Panthers defense allowed 30 points and nearly 500 total offensive yards to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week and will be hoping to bounce back against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. The Saints have not boasted a prolific offense this year, but will surely be looking to end their season on […]

Eddy Pineiro A Decent Option In Week 18

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro has not missed a field goal or extra point since Week 10 and will hope to keep his perfect streak intact to close the season against the New Orleans Saints. Although the Saints' defense has been solid this year, we can expect this to be a competitive contest with both […]

Tommy Tremble Not In Fantasy Consideration For Week 18

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble totaled 33 yards and scored last week and will look to carry this momentum into the team's season finale against the New Orleans Saints. Tremble has flashed potential despite seeing limited opportunities, but he can't be trusted for fantasy purposes on Sunday as the Saints have allowed the fewest […]

DJ Moore Looks To Close The Season On A Hot Streak

Carolina Panthers wide receiver DJ Moore has finished as the fantasy WR13 or better in four of five contests with Sam Darnold under center and will look to end his fifth professional season on a high note against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. Moore was shut down by New Orleans back in Week […]

Chuba Hubbard Has Flex Appeal In Week 18

Carolina Panthers running back Chuba Hubbard has been solid while serving in a complementary role to D'Onta Foreman (knee) this season and will hope to close out the season strong against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. With Foreman questionable to suit up on Sunday, Hubbard could be in line for a heavy workload, […]

Sam Darnold Draws Tough Matchup In Week 18

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has finished as a top-10 fantasy option in two consecutive weeks and will hope to carry this momentum into his final contest of the 2022-2023 campaign.

D'Onta Foreman Questionable To Face Saints

Carolina Panthers running back D'Onta Foreman (knee) is officially listed as questionable to face the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. Foreman has had a career season, racking up 846 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns. The Saints are just a neutral matchup for running backs, so Foreman would be a decent DFS flex play […]

NFL Betting Picks for Week 18 - Best Bets, Expert Odds and Predictions

The two picks from Week 17 took a split, which was tough to swallow considering we were just two points away from a 2-0 day. The Bears offense was completely anemic against a horrendous Lions defense. The under for Arizona/Atlanta hit even the closing number, which dropped two points from my position, after it was […]

Week 18 Running Back Rankings for Fantasy Football: Cam Akers, Jerick McKinnon, David Montgomery, Rachaad White, Zack Moss

Week 18 of the NFL season is always difficult to analyze for fantasy and DFS because there will be some teams playing all their starters, some teams pulling starters early, and a handful of teams not playing any starters at all.

Early Week 18 Half-PPR Rankings for Fantasy Football: D'Andre Swift, Mike Williams, DJ Moore, Tony Pollard, Chris Godwin, Cam Akers

Panthers Defense Torched By Bucs In Week 17

The Carolina Panthers defense surrendered 30 points to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while recording three sacks and a fumble recovery in the Week 17 loss. Tom Brady had his best game of the season on Sunday against the Panthers, who he failed to score on in Week 7. Carolina's defense has given up at least […]

Eddy Pineiro Perfect Again In Week 17 Loss

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro converted on his lone field goal attempt and all three of his extra-point tries in a 30-24 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
