Week 18 rankings and injury updates
My first stab at this week's rankings, and quick look at who's in danger of missing in action due to injuries.
🤕 Pain/rest index
Please note: The Eagles, Chiefs, and Rams are all resting their starters in the final week of the regular season, so no Barkley, Kupp, etc. The Bills are also expected to significantly limit Josh Allen’s snaps, and potentially other starters.
I chose not to list all of these players below, just FYI.
🚫 Nope: Tyler Boyd (foot), Derek Carr (hand), Jerome Ford (ankle), Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger), Kendre Miller (concussion), David Montgomery (knee), Isiah Pacheco (rib), Anthony Richardson (back), Tyjae Spears (concussion), Tua Tagovailoa (hip)
🏴☠️ Not bloody likely: Ameer Abdullah (foot), Alvin Kamara (groin), Gus Edwards (ankle), Darnell Mooney (shoulder), Cade Otton (knee)
🫤 Looking iffy: Austin Ekeler (concussion), Josh Jacobs (wrist/rest), Ladd McConkey (toe), Chig Okonkwo (abdomen), Chris Olave (concussion), Tony Pollard (ankle), Deebo Samuel (rib, wrist), Christian Watson (knee)
🙏 Cautiously optimistic: Hunter Henry (foot), Tyreek Hill (wrist, illness), George Kittle (ankle, hamstring), Miles Sanders (ankle), Jaylen Waddle (knee)
✅ Looking good: Bucky Irving (shin, shoulder), Aaron Jones (quadriceps), Drake London (knee), Terry McLaurin (ankle), Michael Pittman Jr. (back), Jalen Tolbert (finger)
Note: The above are estimates based on the latest news and injury reports. Always double-check your own rosters before Sunday kickoff!
