NFL Fantasy Football Week 18: Wide receiver rankings

Week 18 marks the final set of games for the 2022 NFL regular season. This will also mark the end of the 2022 Fantasy Football season for all leagues. Managers fortunate enough to be playing this week are likely to be in a winner-take-all matchup.

It's always important to optimize the wide receiver position in Fantasy Football. Week 18 will be trickier than usual as many NFL teams will be resting some of their starters. While most elite wide receivers are projected to play this week, besides DeAndre Hopkins, some of them may have their reps capped. This can affect their output in Fantasy Football.

Another factor to pay attention to in Week 18 for Fantasy Football wide receivers is each team's quarterback situation. Some teams, such as the New York Giants and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, will look to the NFL playoffs as they have no way of improving their seeds this week. This means Daniel Jones and Tom Brady, among others, are unlikely to see their usual workload.

Several other NFL teams that have been eliminated from playoff contention may give their backup quarterbacks a look this week. This makes it more important than ever for Fantasy Football managers to pay attention to all of the matchups prior to finalizing their lineups.
