Week 18 of the 2022 NFL season marks the end of the regular season. This also means that the 2022 Fantasy Football season is ending for any leagues that are still playing. Many leagues conclude their seasons and their championships in Week 17, but some leagues continue on to Week 18. Any manager competing this week is likely in a do-or-die matchup.

Fantasy Football managers who are fortunate enough to have survived this long will likely know the importance of optimizing their tight end position. Very few tight ends, such as Travis Kelce and George Kittle, are worthy of a spot in their starting lineup each week in Fantasy Football, regardless of their weekly matchups. The majority should only be played in favorable situations.

Week 18 presents more of a unique challenge than any other week. Some NFL teams will be resting some of their starting players, such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New York Giants. Managers must pay attention to this when setting their lineups. While almost every healthy tight end is expected to play this week, some of their playing time may be capped.
