  • Will Levis QB | TEN

    Titans' Will Levis: Set to split reps at QB in Week 18

    Titans head coach Brian Callahan said Monday that Levis and Mason Rudolph will both play Sunday against Houston, Terry McCormick of TitanInsider.com reports.

    Levis was moved to a backup role in favor of Rudolph over the Titans' past two games, but the team has gone 0-2 since the change. Rudolph has somewhat struggled with a 3:4 TD:INT in the pair of contests, so he hasn't done enough to establish a stranglehold on the starting QB role. With both Levis and Rudolph likely to get snaps Week 18, neither profiles as an appealing fantasy play.

  • Aaron Rodgers QB | PIT

    Jets' Aaron Rodgers: Will start in Week 18

    Rodgers will start next Sunday's Week 18 game against Miami, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports.

    New York has little to play for aside from draft slotting given its 4-12 record, but it appears the team's starters will still suit up for the season finale. The Jets will be going up against a motivated Dolphins team that must win in order to keep its long-shot playoff hopes alive. Rodgers remains one touchdown pass away from 500 in his illustrious career, and Sunday could mark his final appearance as a Jet if, as expected, the team decides to go in a different direction this offseason.

  • Carson Wentz QB | MIN

    Chiefs' Carson Wentz: Looks set for Week 18 start

    Wentz is expected to serve as Kansas City's starting quarterback Sunday in Denver with Patrick Mahomes likely to be rested for the regular-season finale, Peter Schrager of Fox Sports reports.

    Heading into Week 18, the defending champs have already secured the No. 1 seed in the AFC playoffs, so the team is expected to rest several key players. Mahomes has been playing through a mild high-ankle sprain the past two games, making him a prime candidate for extra rest. Wentz is set to see his first extended action since Week 18 of 2023, when the Rams faced a similar scenario and opted to rest Matthew Stafford. The likelihood that Kansas City restricts the workloads of other top playmakers could limit the QB's fantasy appeal, and practice-squad call-up Chris Oladokun may even relieve Wentz at some point in the contest.

  • Falcons' Michael Penix: Throws first NFL TD in OT loss

    Penix completed 19 of 35 pass attempts for 223 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing for three yards on two attempts in Sunday's 30-24 overtime loss to the Commanders.

    Penix offered mixed fantasy results in Sunday's narrow defeat, throwing his second interception while converting his first touchdown pass as a pro in the overtime loss to Washington. The Falcons opted to switch to the 2024 first-round pick after veteran Kirk Cousins couldn't lead the team to an elevated level of success in 2024. Penix figures to start again for Atlanta in a game the team must win to have a chance of making the playoffs in next Sunday's regular-season finale against Carolina in Week 18.

  • Jayden Daniels QB | WAS

    Commanders' Jayden Daniels: Throws for three TDs on Sunday

    Daniels completed 24 of 36 pass attempts for 227 passing yards, three touchdowns and one interception while adding 127 rushing yards on 16 attempts in Sunday's 30-24 overtime win over Atlanta.

    Daniels turned in a sterling second-half performance en route to a net yardage of 354 with a trio of passing touchdowns in Sunday's exciting victory over Atlanta. The rookie standout threw for at least three touchdowns for the third time over his last four appearances. Daniels will look to make another statement in his Rookie of the Year bid in next Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys, though it's not certain he'll play the entire game (or at all) with Washington locked into the No. 6 or No. 7 playoff seed in the NFC.

  • Saints' Spencer Rattler: Two more picks in Week 17 loss

    Rattler completed 20 of 36 passes for 218 yards and a touchdown with two interceptions in Sunday's 25-10 loss to the Raiders. He added 46 rushing yards on three carries.

    It was another tough outing for the 2024 fifth-round pick. Rattler has a 3:5 TD:INT in six appearances this season, but his 46 yards on the ground were at least a career high. With the Saints having nothing to play for in Week 18 but draft position, it's not clear if Derek Carr (hand) will even be an option for the team at QB or if Rattler will finish out the season under center against the Buccaneers.

  • Raiders' Aidan O'Connell: Tosses two TDs in win

    O'Connell completed 20 of 35 passes for 242 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Saints.

    The second-year QB hit Jakobi Meyers for a three-yard score in the second quarter that put the Raiders in the lead for good, then capped his day with an 18-yard TD to Tre Tucker in the fourth. O'Connell is having a decent finish to the season, accounting for five touchdowns (four passing, one rushing) in his last four appearances against only one INT, but Las Vegas is still almost certain to look for an upgrade in the offseason. O'Connell will try to wrap up the campaign in style in Week 18 against the Chargers.

  • Joe Flacco QB | CIN

    Colts' Joe Flacco: Tops 300 yards in Week 17 start

    Flacco completed 26 of 38 passes for 330 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants.

    Making his first start since Week 10, Flacco posted big passing numbers and hit Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman for fourth-quarter TDs, but he also committed three turnovers as he lost a fumble to end the Colts' final possession in addition to his two picks. With Indy now eliminated from postseason contention, it's not clear whether the team will even consider using Anthony Richardson (back/foot) in Week 18 against the Jaguars, or if Flacco might get one more start in 2024.

  • Jordan Love QB | GB

    Packers' Jordan Love: Quiet against Vikings

    Love completed 19 of 30 passes for 185 yards, one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 27-25 loss to the Vikings. He added one rush for six yards.

    Love and the Packers couldn't get anything going to begin the game, running five or fewer offensive plays in four of their five possessions in the first half. He managed to turn things around a bit in the final two quarters as the team made a furious comeback, with the highlights being a 35-yard completion down the seam to Tucker Kraft and a three-yard touchdown pass to Malik Heath. Overall, Love has had poor results for fantasy purposes since Green Bay's Week 10 bye, as he's topped 250 yards just twice and thrown for multiple scores only three times in seven games.

  • Sam Darnold QB | SEA

    Vikings' Sam Darnold: Huge performance against Packers

    Darnold completed 33 of 43 passes for 377 yards, three touchdowns and one interception in Sunday's 27-25 win over the Packers.

    The Vikings' offense failed to record points on its first two drives, but Darnold then proceeded to lead the team on four scoring drives across their next five possessions. He had a number of impressive throws, highlighted by 31 and 18-yard touchdown strikes to Jalen Nailor and Jordan Addison, respectively. Darnold recorded five completions of at least 20 yards while racking up his highest yardage total of the season, and he now has at least three touchdowns in three of his last four games.
