NFL Fantasy Football Week 18: Quarterback rankings

Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season marks the end of the regular season. The 2022 Fantasy Football season will also conclude this week for any leagues still in progress. While many leagues hold their championships in Week 17, others continue all the way into Week 18 to finish their season at the same time that the NFL also does.

Fantasy Football managers will need to pay close attention to all of the matchups in Week 18, as some NFL teams are choosing to rest some of their players. This is especially true for the quarterback position.

Some teams eliminated from playoff contention may want to give their backups a look as their starting quarterback. This is also true for teams that are unable to improve their playoff seeding in Week 18. Injuries will also play a factor, as they do every week.

Some notable starting quarterbacks who are unlikely to play this week include Justin Fields, Daniel Jones, Tua Tagovailoa, Carson Wentz, Matt Ryan, and Zach Wilson. Certain other quarterbacks, such as Tom Brady, may start their games, but are unlikely to play the full game. These quarterbacks are much better off avoiding this crucial week of the 2022 Fantasy Football season.

The following rankings weigh all of the risks and rewards of each quarterback in Week 18, giving Fantasy Football managers a resource when deciding who to use in their lineups this week.
