Well, it’s a wrap. As the 2022-23 NFL season comes to a close here in Week 18, the playoffs are a week away and most of our go-to quarterbacks will be sippin’ Gatorade from the sidelines. It will be slim pickings in DFS this week at the position. Whether resting up for the Wild Card round or being flat-out benched for a third-stringer, Week 18 should be interesting. But we have a few gunslingers to choose from on the slate, playing meaningful games. They’re not too hard to figure out, but they won’t be cheap in DFS either. Amongst the few studs at quarterback, a crew of benchwarmers will be out there trying to impress the coaching staff in their final games of the season. But let’s keep it simple to close out the regular season and use common sense for drafting a quarterback. Just draft a player with motivation. If he’s looking to get his team into the playoffs or improve his team’s seeding, consider them. Here are my takes, and the cream of the crop for Week 18 quarterbacks!
Check out our NFL Week 18 DFS Quarterbacks!
Josh Allen ($8,400 DraftKings/$8,800 FanDuel)
Regardless of the outcome of the Chiefs/Raiders game on Saturday, Josh Allen will lead his Bills to victory. He will be a man on a mission on Sunday, rallying his team while keeping a heavy heart for critically injured teammate Damar Hamlin. Allen has accumulated 39 total touchdowns with over 4,700 total yards on the season and should be slammed into lineups especially in this Week 18 end-of-season statement game for Buffalo.
Jalen Hurts ($8,200 DraftKings/$9,000 FanDuel)
Hurts will hopefully make his return from a two-game hiatus from a shoulder injury. He’ll look to lock up the one seed for the Eagles against a Giants team that may be resting starters. An Eagles loss could slide them down to the fifth slot in some scenarios, so Hurts will be an auto-start for a full workload on Sunday, who has scored 35 total touchdowns with over 4,200 rushing and passing yards on the season.
Joe Burrow ($7,300 DraftKings/$8,200 FanDuel)
Burrow has plenty to play for… the division and number three seed. He’s been on a heater, throwing for eight touchdowns and racking over 25 DK points in his last two contests. Baltimore’s 14th DVOA to opposing quarterbacks is nothing to sneeze at, but a fully weaponized Bengals’ offense run by Joe Cool will put points on the scoreboard.
Dak Prescott ($6,600 DraftKings/$7,500 FanDuel)
Dak is back in our write-up for the end of the season, with his eyes on the prize. An Eagles’ loss and a Cowboys’ win will propel them into the one spot giving them a round one bye of the playoffs. Dak will face a Commander team led by head coach Ron Rivera who has already mentally checked out two weeks ago. Although he’s a lock to perform, keep in mind that the cowboys may be scoreboard-watching. If Philadelphia commands a big league against New York, Dallas may pull their starters in the second half.
Geno Smith ($6,000 DraftKings/$7,300 FanDuel)
It’s win-or-go-home for Geno and the Seahawks. Smith will face a tanking LA Rams’ looking to move up in the draft. The hands-down comeback player of the year will need one more big game, and Geno should deliver throwing four touchdowns in his last three games. The Seahawks will also need some help from Detroit on Sunday, a Lions’ win against the Packers will seal the deal.
