Fantasy QB Rankings Week 18 Who to start sit at quarterback in fantasy football leagues

While the majority of fantasy football leagues concluded last week, there are still some leagues going strong in the final week of the regular season. If thats the case, our Week 18 fantasy QB rankings aim to better your proce s by pinpointing reliable signal-callers to help end your season with a win.Well start off by identifying the QBs we likely wont see on teams with little to play for. With the Buccaneers clinching the NFC South and the Giants locked into their wild-card spot, there's a chance we wont see Tom Brady (@ Falcons in Week 18), and Daniel Jones (@ Eagles) take many snaps. Brian Daboll brushed off the idea of resting starters, so Jones could start, but Tyrod Taylor's also likely to see Jordan Clarkson Jersey some playing time if the Giants pull their starters early.You probably dont want to start Blaine Gabbert (@ Falcons) with Tampa Bay's reserve offense on the field, but the Falcons' defense is still one of the weakest in the league, allowing the third-highest drop-back succe s rate. Gabbert could put forth a decent fantasy showing in his spot start. Following their lo s to the Packers, the Vikings are out of the running for the NFCs top seed, but they're still playing for seeding, which likely means Kirk Cousins and the rest of the starters will play against the Bears.WEEK 18 FANTASY RANKINGS: | | | | We will, however, likely see Jalen Hurts (vs. Giants) and the rest of the Eagles starters suit up in Week 18 in an attempt to lock up the NFCs top seed. That also means Dak Prescott (@ Commanders) is likely to suit up with the top seed up for grabs. Brock Purdy (vs. Cardinals) and the rest of the 49ers' starters statuses are up in the air depending on if the Eagles defeat the Giants. Josh Johnson (vs. Cardinals) would start in Purdys place if the 49ers' fate is decided before their kickoff, but he's nothing more than a DFS flier.Well also see Aaron Rodgers (vs. Lions), Jared Goff (@ Packers), and Geno Smith (vs. Rams) in Week 18 with all three teams fighting for the last playoff spot in the NFC. Both Rodgers and Goff could be in line for solid fantasy showings in a projected high-scoring contest.Since Kansas City has yet to lock up the AFCs top seed, expect Patrick Mahomes (@ Raiders) and the rest of the Chiefs starters to be full go. After an impre sive first start, Jarrett Stidham (vs. Chiefs) could outperform his projections and an exploitable Chiefs defense. Stidham was formidable enough against a stout San Francisco defense in Week 17, but a better matchup against Kansas City could lead to an even higher fantasy point showing.The same goes for Trevor Lawrence (vs. Titans) and Mike White (@ Dolphins) as both QBs draw plus matchups. White's a bit tougher start given his uneasy showing in Week 17, but an improved fantasy performance in Week 18 should be in the cards (Update: Joe Flacco will start in place of White). There's also a shot Justin Herbert (@ Broncos) plays with the Chargers vying for the fifth seed in the AFC, but if Brandon Staley elects to rest starters, Chase Daniel (@ Broncos) will make the spot start.Well see if Tua Tagovailoa (vs. Jets) is able to clear concu sion protocol next week. If he doesn't, Skylar Thompson would be in line to start. Also on the injury front, Lamar Jackson (@ Bengals) might return to game action after mi sing the past four weeks with a knee sprain. He'd be a must-start, as usual, if he's back despite the potentially tough matchup. (Update: Tagovailoa (concu sion) and Jackson (knee) have been ruled out).Rank Player1 Patrick Mahomes, Chiefs @ Raiders2 Josh Allen, Bills vs. Patriots3 Jalen Hurts, Eagles vs. Giants4 Justin Herbert, Chargers @ Broncos5 Trevor Lawrence, Jaguars vs. Titans6 Joe Burrow, Bengals vs. Ravens7 Dak Prescott, Cowboys @ Commanders8 Kirk Cousins, Vikings @ Bears9 Aaron Rodgers, Packers vs. Lions10 Brock Purdy, 49ers vs. Cardinals11 Geno Smith, Seahawks vs. Rams12 Jared Goff, Lions @ Packers13 Jarrett Stidham Raiders vs. Chiefs14 Kenny Pickett, Steelers vs. Browns15 Deshaun Watson, Browns @ Steelers16 Sam Darnold, Panthers @ Saints17 Ru sell Wilson, Broncos vs. Chargers18 Tyler Huntley, Ravens @ Bengals19 Andy Dalton, Saints vs. Panthers20 Baker Mayfield, Rams @ Seahawks21 Mac Jones, Patriots @ Bills22 Josh Dobbs, Titans @ Jaguars23 Desmond Ridder, Falcons vs. Buccaneers24 Tom Brady, Buccaneers @ Falcons25 Skylar Thompson, Dolphins vs. Jets26 Sam Howell, Commanders vs. Cowboys27 Joe Flacco, Jets @ Dolphins28 Davis Mills, Texans @ Colts29 Nathan Peterman, Bears vs. Vikings30 David Blough, Cardinals @ 49ers31 Davis Webb, Giants @ Eagles32 Blaine Gabbert, Buccaneers @ Falcons33 Sam Ehlinger, Colts vs. Texans34 Kyle Trask, Buccaneers @ Falcons Tony Bradley Jersey
