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 18 fantasy football PPR rankings for fantasy football, as of January 8th. Our goal, as always, is to help you set those winning lineups, so let's see where key players like Cam Akers, Zack Moss, Chuba Hubbard, Jonathan Williams, Deebo Samuel, George Pickens, Rashid Shaheed, and D.J. Chark rank, among others.
Our 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.
