Week 18 News & Notes
The regular-season finale is often the least predictable week. Many teams have nothing to play for and will rest starters. Before you finalize DFS lineups, our Week 18 News & Notes catches you up on the latest injury updates and developments before you finalize this week’s lineups. And be sure to check out updated weekly rankings.
Also, FullTime Fantasy Members will get the latest NFL injury news and advice live each Sunday and Thursday in the FullTime Fantasy Discord. Click below to join us today! Finally, my incentives to target is also a helpful piece to consider this wild week.
This will be updated throughout the weekend.
