Welcome to Week 18 of The Worksheet, a comprehensive fantasy football preview, by Rich Hribar.
What is The Worksheet from Rich Hribar?
The Worksheet is a comprehensive weekly fantasy football preview for each NFL game. Rich Hribar analyzes the matchup for every notable fantasy player for every game every week of the NFL season.
We have reached the final week of the 2023 regular season.
Before diving into things that orbit this last full week of the NFL, let me take a moment to thank everyone for this season.
I am thankful for all of you who went on this journey through the work I have put out this year.
2023 was another year where I posted over 300 total articles on this website.
Covering the games, game theory, draft strategy, player movement, rookies, and more.
Some falling flat on my face and some holding the spades.
At the end of the ride, hopefully, I helped the majority along the way enjoy the season.
If you are someone who clicked on one article or all of them, I am thankful for your support.
The final week of the NFL regular season is always a different kind of fantasy week.
The majority of fantasy leagues are wrapped up. We have players potentially resting for the playoffs.
Nearly half of the league has absolutely nothing to play for. Even players on those teams who do have something to play for could have shakeups for playing time, and some of those who have fought through injuries on those rosters deservedly get alleviation in the final week.
For those reasons, I always do a condensed version of this article to close the season.
I will go a bit more in length on some standout spots, but then just cover the surface for those in leagues that still use Week 18.
If you do have questions on players and start/sit dilemmas this week, reach out via Twitter.
There are no Thursday or Monday night games to close the season, but we do have two Saturday games.
This article will be updated throughout the week to reflect major news or injury implications.
I encourage you to use the game-by-game tables and data points here in conjunction with the player rankings that will be available each Wednesday and enjoy the games.
