While many fantasy football leagues don’t play in Week 18, some fantasy players have their championship game this week.
After 17 weeks of action, everything comes down to fantasy players setting the perfect lineup in the title game.
Should fantasy players start Justin Herbert, Jordan Love, or Bryce Young in Week 18? Let's find out!
Should I Start Justin Herbert For Fantasy Football?
Herbert is the QB13 for the year, averaging 16.1 fantasy points per game. The superstar had a slow start to the season. However, he has been on fire lately, totaling 21 passing touchdowns this year, including seven over the past three weeks.

The former Oregon star faces the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday. Las Vegas has surrendered 17.1 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the 11th-most in the NFL. Herbert is a solid low-end QB1 option in Week 18.
Should I Start Jordan Love For Fantasy Football?
Love is the QB17 for the year, averaging 16.5 fantasy points per game. The star quarterback has 25 passing touchdowns in 14 games, totaling two or more in 57.1% of the contests. Unfortunately, he has struggled lately, totaling one passing touchdown and 14.5 or fewer fantasy points in three of the past four outings.
Jordan Love goes long to Dontayvion Wicks for the TD!

The former Utah State star faces the Chicago Bears on Sunday. Love had one passing touchdown and 20.2 fantasy points in the matchup against the Bears earlier this season. However, Chicago has held quarterbacks to the second-fewest fantasy points per game (13.6), making the star quarterback a risky high-end QB2.
Should I Start Bryce Young For Fantasy Football?
Young is the QB25 for the year despite spending part of the season on the bench, averaging 12.2 fantasy points per game. The second-year pro has had some up-and-down moments as a passer. However, he has made plays with his legs, totaling three rushing touchdowns over the past five weeks.

More importantly, Young faces the Atlanta Falcons in Week 18. They have surrendered 18.9 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, the sixth-most in the NFL. Last week, the Falcons gave up over 31 fantasy points to Jayden Daniels. Young is a solid QB2 option for fantasy players.
