NFL Week 18 positional fantasy football rankings

• Surprise players ranking highly: With several playoff teams either locked into their seed or with little chance of moving, several players will either sit out or play on a limited basis this week. This allows players — such as James Conner, who has played very well this season — to rank higher than usual.

• Most accurate rankings: Nathan Jahnke’s fantasy rankings have been the most accurate in season rankings over the last 81 regular season weeks, per FantasyPros‘ rankings accuracy competition.

• Other ranking formats available: Our weekly rankings landing page includes rankings in other league formats, flex rankings and IDP rankings.

According to FantasyPros, my rankings are 10th in accuracy this season and were fifth-most accurate in 2021, second-most in 2020 and third-most in 2019. My rankings are the only ones to finish in the top five in three of the past four seasons.
