Josh Palmer had a breakout 2022 Fantasy Football season. He has recorded two top ten finishes this year, including a season-best WR3 finish against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 11. The issue is that he's failed to finish inside the top 25 in any week since, with Keenan Allen and Mike Williams returning to full health and surpassing Palmer on the depth chart.

Darius Slayton - New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles

Darius Slayton has established himself as the preferred wide receiver for Daniel Jones. This hasn't exactly resulted in solid production in Fantasy Football, as he;s recorded just two top 20 finishes this season. He's a risky option most weeks, but even more so in Week 18. The New York Giants don't have much to play for as they are locked into the sixth seed in the NFC Playoffs.

Van Jefferson - Los Angeles Rams vs. Seattle Seahawks

Van Jefferson has emerged as the top wide receiver for the Los Angeles Rams as Cooper Kupp and Allen Robinson II are currently recovering from injuries. He has still failed to exceed three receptions in any game during the 2022 Fantasy Football season so far. That's unlikely to change in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks. They allow the third-fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
