Week 18 is here, and if you’re still setting lineups, you already know what comes with it: rested starters, snap-count roulette, and late-week chaos.
In this episode, Matt Schauf and Jared Smola break down the toughest Week 18 start-sit decisions, focusing on teams expected to rest starters like the Chargers, Packers, Bills, and Eagles. We cover how aggressive to be with the Rams, whether any Packers or Bills backups are actually usable, why Eagles players might be impossible to trust, the Bears’ motivation, and the uncertainty surrounding the Cowboys. All of it is backed by Draft Sharks’ Week 18 projections and rankings, with updates continuing right through inactives to help you squeeze every last edge out of the final week.
