Emanuel Wilson and David Montgomery are division rivals, battling for large roles in Week 18. We seem to favor one player with a better ceiling this Sunday.

These skill players have great matchups on paper in Week 18, but they should be sat between injury concerns and benched starters ahead of the NFL Playoffs.

Malik Davis and Audric Estime have both found themselves as their teams likely RB1's in Week 18. One player has much better upside to leverage.
