NFL DFS Stacks for DraftKings, FanDuel - Top Week 18 Daily Fantasy Football Picks

Though I wrote the following in last week’s column, it was another instance where I didn’t follow my own intuition: “I have a hunch that Tampa Bay gets their offense cooking back on a 2021 level in this spot. In that scenario, the Panthers would need to abandon their recent run-heavy ways and revert to […]

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. That said, we're back with our Week […]

Sean McVay's Future With Rams In Limbo

Los Angeles Rams head coach Sean McVay is expected to "take some time after Sunday's regular-season finale to determine whether he will return in 2023," sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. He has reportedly gone back and forth and needs time to reflect on the big decision after the season ends. As Schefter notes, it […]

Week 18 Defense (DEF) Streamers and Starts - 2023 Fantasy Tiers, Rankings

Let's just start by saying that any discussion of football feels weird until we know that Damar Hamlin is okay.

Tutu Atwell Not Worth Starting In Week 18

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Tutu Atwell has a difficult fantasy matchup in Week 18. The Seahawks have allowed the third-least yards and the third-least fantasy points per game to opposing WRs. Atwell only has five catches for 34 yards in the past three games combined. The 23-year-old has average or below-average matchups against the […]

Van Jefferson A Poor Quality Start In Week 18

Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson is an unreliable start in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks. The 26-year-old is coming off his best game of the season: three catches for 77 yards against the Chargers. But even that performance, barely surpassing 10 PPR points, was only good enough to finish as WR29. He […]

Cam Akers Could Continue Rushing Hot Streak In Week 18

Los Angeles Rams running back Cam Akers has gained over 100 yards on the ground in each of the past two games. Can he keep it up in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks? The Seahawks' defense is pathetic against the run. They are allowing 150.5 rushing yards per game, the third-most, and 4.8 yards […]

Baker Mayfield A Poor Quality Start In Week 18

Los Angeles Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield takes the stage against the Seattle Seahawks in a game with playoff implications on Sunday. If the Seahawks win, they remain in the hunt for the NFC's final wild card berth. If Mayfield can lead his team to an upset win, the Seahawks' playoff hopes die. Seattle's defense against […]

Tyler Higbee Has Favorable Week 18 Matchup

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee, who missed Wednesday's practice while resting (non-injury related), was a full participant in practice on Thursday ahead of his team's Week 18 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.

John Wolford Removed From Injury Report

Los Angeles Rams quarterback John Wolford (neck) wasn't listed on the team's first injury report of Week 18 on Wednesday.

The Wake Forest product […]
