Example…

The major note to mention is that it’s Week 18, so not every normal starter will play, or play his normal snaps. This week’s charts reflect what “should” be, so stay up on your player’s news and make sure he does. Some teams are playoff locks, and some have nothing to play for.

Defensive Back

There are a huge amount of question marks and there have been plenty of guys sent to injuries reserve this last few weeks. So, try to stick with who you know. And stay on top of any injuries and such that could still pile up as teams also do some player evaluations in Week 18. Plus, try to focus on matchups that matter or have some sort of NFL playoff implications.

Safety One-Liners…

It might actually be the first time Malik Hooker (Dallas) has ever had any real upside during any playoffs, and it’s hard to ignore especially if Donovan Wilson is out.

It looks like the Bills’ Cole Bishop has the best shot if both Damar Hamlin and Taylor Rapp are out again. It’s a deep deep option.

The Panthers benched Jordan Fuller officially in Week 17. So there is some upside to Demani Richardson this week and dynasty-wise.

Hard to chase rainbows, so I don’t suggest trusting what Jaguars’ Andre Cisco did in Week 17 enough to risk it.

There is a lot of added upside to Josh Metellus (Vikings) if Harrison Smith is out this week.

Just like last week, if it isn’t Antoine Winfield (Q) or Tykee Smith in Tampa Bay, we’re not interested.

The Bears Kevin Byard and Jonathan Owens shouldn’t be all that risky and likely have a plus side upside this week. The formula doesn’t take into account the Bears do not have any real form of a pass rush this year.

Good Luck And Happy New Year!
