Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season marks the end of the regular season. The 2022 Fantasy Football season will also conclude this week for any leagues still in progress. While many leagues hold their championships in Week 17, others continue all the way into Week 18 to finish their season at the same time that the NFL also does.
Fantasy Football managers will need to pay close attention to all of the matchups in Week 18, as some NFL teams are choosing to rest some of their players. This is especially true for the quarterback position.
Some teams eliminated from playoff contention may want to give their backups a look as their starting quarterback. This is also true for teams that are unable to improve their playoff seeding in Week 18. Injuries will also play a factor, as they do every week.
