1) Jordan Addison @ Detroit

The attention is always on Justin Jefferson, and rightly so, but Addison is not-so-quietly becoming a force. He’s hit double-digits in six of the last seven games including two 30+ point outings. He produced more touchdown catches than Jefferson last season and is just one behind him in 2024 (10-9). This should be a high-scoring affair (O/U is 57.5) and you will want as many players in this game as possible. Even Josh Nailor went 5-81-1 last week and could be an emergency option for Week 18.

2) Jameson Williams vs Minnesota

In case you haven’t been paying attention, Jameson Williams has arrived. Amon-Ra St. Brown is a known quantity, and a good one, but Williams gives opposing defensive coordinators nightmares. He’s averaging 14.5 FPts/G in his first “real” season and has single-handedly brought back the hook-and lateral to the NFL. He’s averaged 25.3 over the past two games. Must start.

3) Adam Thielen @ Atlanta

It’s easy to forget guys when they are injured early in the season. Thielen has only played nine games, missing Week 4-11, but he’s been a very good option. His 14.5 FPts/G is his best since 2021 and he’s proven to be an elixir for Bryce Young. Thielen ranks 13th at the position since Week 13 averaging 19.3 FPts/G and faces a Falcons secondary which has allowed a league-high 21 touchdowns to opposing wideouts.

Grab some Pine

1) Jerry Jeudy @ Baltimore

Jeudy has had a nice resurgence in the second half of the season, but with DTR at quarterback I have very little faith that he can finish strong against the Ravens improved pass defense. He was a volume guy with Jameis Winston and even last weekend saw 18 targets to get to 21.4 fantasy points. The Ravens won’t allow that and have allowed just one touchdown catch to opposing wideouts in the last four games.

2) Any Bills receiver @ New England

I’m not sure who will actually be in uniform, but the Pats pass defense has allowed the second-fewest points to opposing wideouts since Week 13 (27.3 FPts/G). And Mitch Trubisky will be the quarterback for most of the afternoon.

3) Brandin Cooks vs. Washington

Sure, the soon-to-be free agent Cooks is the No.1 wideout on Dallas with CeeDee Lamb injured, but Washington’s defense has been pretty good since Week 13. They rank fifth, allowing 28.3 FPts/G to opposing wideouts and just three touchdown catches. The quarterback play in Dallas has been mediocre, at best, and it’s more likely that the young Cowboys receivers (Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin and Jonathan Mingo) get more of the action than Cooks.
