NFL Week 18 Fantasy Football Wide Receivers: Sit 'Em

Adam Thielen - Minnesota Vikings vs. New York Giants

Adam Thielen is clearly the secondary receiving option behind Justin Jefferson, but still holds plenty of value in Fantasy Football when playing in favorable matchups. His Wild Card game against the New York Giants doesn't appear to be one of those situations. He recorded just one reception for six yards when they faced off in Week 16, despite the game being a shootout.

Jaylen Waddle - Miami Dolphins vs. Buffalo Bills

Jaylen Waddle formed a dynamic duo with Tyreek Hill in the Miami Dolphins' passing game. The issue is that they will be using their third-string quarterback Skylar Thompson this week after Tua Tagovailoa and Teddy Bridgewater were ruled out with injuries. Waddle has recorded consecutive WR37 finishes in two games with Thompson under centre.

Brandon Aiyuk has struggled to put up big Fantasy Football numbers this year in two games against the Seattle Seahawks. He has recorded a WR41 and WR74 in the two games. The Seahawks also allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, while Aiyuk has recorded just one top-25 finish since Brock Purdy replaced Jimmy Garoppolo.
