Jeff Okudah Questionable For Week 18

Detroit Lions defensive back Jeff Okudah (elbow) is listed as questionable for the Week 18 matchup against the Green Bay Packers. It appears the 23-year-old suffered an elbow injury during practice on Friday, which has put his status in question. The Lions will turn to Jerry Jacobs and Mike Hughes if Okudah doesn't suit up.

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.

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. We enter the final week of the NFL regular season, and there are still plenty of teams searching for a postseason berth, meaning some players won't have the luxury of getting a day […]

Boom and Bust: Week 18 Fantasy Football Studs and Duds, Including: J.K. Dobbins, Tyreek Hill, Aaron Jones, George Kittle, Evan Engram

I first and foremost want to wish Damar Hamlin the best, and I hope he has a full recovery. The young man (who is the same age as most of us), was devastatingly hurt doing what he loved and performing at the sport’s highest level. This is a game that we all love, and without […]

Wide Receiver Breakouts for Fantasy Football: Targets, Air Yards, Snaps Trends for Mike Evans, Davante Adams, Treylon Burks, Jerry Jeudy

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

With that in mind, some of you will be involved in Week 18 matchups that will determine your league champions. […]

All other Premium Tools and Content can be accessed on the premium dashboard. In this piece, we're looking at the top running backs or wide receivers to build your cash or tournament lineups around.

Lions Defense Should Be Avoided In Week 18

The Detroit Lions fantasy defense/special teams has seen drastic improvement from its early season performances, but since they're still one of the worst defenses in the NFL, they are an easy fade in Week 18 against the surging Green Bay Packers. It's worth noting that if the Seattle Seahawks beat the Los Angeles Rams before […]

Michael Badgley Remains A Solid Kicker Option

Detroit Lions kicker Michael Badgley was the No. 2 overall kicker in fantasy points from Week 10 to 15 before a down performance in Week 16. However, he rebounded in Week 17, making all five of his extra point attempts and both of his field goal attempts. Ultimately, this Lions' offense has proven to be […]

DJ Chark Remains Boom-Or-Bust DFS Play

Detroit Lions wide receiver DJ Chark is perfect for DFS contests, as he's usually under-owned in contests, but has real upside with big-play, touchdown upside. Chark has posted at least 94 receiving yards in three of his last five contests and is averaging 18.1 yards per reception on the season. Chark can rack up 100 […]

Amon-Ra St. Brown Faces Tough Matchup In Week 18

Detroit Lions wide receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown has been a fantasy superstar in 2022, but it's worth noting he'll face a tough matchup in Week 18. The Green Bay Packers have allowed the 10th-fewest fantasy points to wide receivers this season and its defense has come alive in recent weeks during the four-game winning streak. […]

Jamaal Williams Carries Risk Into Week 18

Detroit Lions running back Jamaal Williams finished outside the top 25 weekly fantasy running backs (half-PPR) from Week 12 to Week 16 and became an unplayable fantasy option. However, he bounced back in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears, rushing 22 times for 144 yards and his 15th rushing touchdown of the season. However, the […]

D'Andre Swift Continues To Be Boom-Or-Bust

Detroit Lions running back D'Andre Swift has been frustrating to figure out in fantasy this season, as his floor has been low, but his ceiling has been high. That's been a common theme among running backs this season, with Swift being one of the best examples. However, most traditional fantasy leagues have concluded, and a […]

Jared Goff Tasked With Tough Road Matchup

Detroit Lions quarterback Jared Goff has been a surprising fantasy breakout player this season, but he'll face a tough test at Lambeau Field against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. Green Bay has allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season and when the teams met earlier this season, Goff passed for a […]

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 […]

Should I Pickup Brock Wright For Fantasy Football Week 18? Waiver Wire Outlook

Nobody would have guessed that Brock Wright would be the most valuable tight end on the Detroit Lions heading into Week 18 of the NFL season. T.J. Hockenson was primed to be a top-5 fantasy tight end entering the campaign, but he was sent to the Minnesota Vikings at the trade deadline when the Lions […]

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.
