Week 18 Fantasy Football Tight End Rankings: Colston Loveland Into The Top 10

Welcome to Week 18 and the fantasy football championship (for those of you who are bold enough to make this your final week). Let’s talk about the challenges ahead.

The NFL slate doesn’t include a Thursday night game; instead, it features two games on Saturday. The Carolina Panthers face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 4:30 p.m. ET with the winner taking the NFC South title (unless the Falcons win, then the Panthers clinch the division either way) and the No. 4 seed in the conference. At 8 p.m. ET, the San Francisco 49ers host the Seattle Seahawks in a battle for the NFC West championship and the No. 1 seed in that conference. Obviously, these games are huge.

The difficulty in playing in Week 18, of course, is the number of players who won’t play. We already know that Justin Herbert and some other Chargers starters (maybe Oronde Gadsden) won’t play this week, and the Packers are likely to rest players too, including Luke Musgrave, since they are locked into the No. 7 seed in the NFC.

Other teams will do the same thing, and some of those players won’t even be known until Sunday. Again, this is the challenge of playing fantasy in the NFL’s final week.

With that said, here are my complete fantasy football tight end rankings for Week 18 of the NFL season! Be sure to check back daily for updates!
