Week 18 NFL Incentives to Target
Week 18 Incentives to Target Welcome to 2025! While the 2024 season has concluded, there is still a week of NFL action to enjoy. That opens the door for DFS enthusiasts to put their full attention on a wide-open slate. However, some teams have little to play for and will rest starters. Conversely, some players have Week 18 incentives to target. This is a recap of the teams that have already clinched and have little at stake this week. Therefore, fantasy football fans should avoid these players. Plenty of players are set to hit bonuses or milestones that make them enviable targets. Teams to Avoid Kansas City Chiefs – The Chiefs have already secured the AFC’s No. 1 seed. Andy Reid announced that Carson Wentz will start and presumably, the rest of the team’s starters will rest. Buffalo Bills– Locked into the AFC’s No. 2 seed. Expect Josh Allen to play the opening drive but that’s about it. The same should apply to the team’s key offensive starters. Philadelphia Eagles – Philadelphia is locked into the NFC’s No. 2 seed and will sit their starters. Surprisingly, this includes RB Saquon Barkley, who needed just 101 yards to break the all-time rushing record. Houston Texans – DeMeco Ryans plans to open the game with his starters and “see how the game goes.” The AFC South champs are limping into the playoffs and would like to avenge an earlier loss to the lowly Texans. However, it makes little sense to risk C.J. Stroud, Nico Collins, or Joe Mixon in a largely meaningless game. Los Angeles Rams – Although the Rams could move into the No. 3 spot with a win and Tampa loss, Sean McVay has already indicated that he will rest his starters. Plenty at Stake Baltimore Ravens – A win versus the Browns clinches the AFC North title and the No. 3 seed. Detroit Lions – The top 2 teams in the NFC will square off to determine who will secure the conference’s No. 1 seed. This Lions vs. Vikings game has a season-high total of 56 points. The loser tumbles down to the No. 5 seeds. Sunday night is a huge game. Minnesota Vikings – A little extra motivation for the Vikings, who are looking to pay back the Lions for handing them one of their two losses on the season. Detroit is a slim 2.5-point home favorite in a game that should be an instant classic. The winner secures home-field advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Denver Broncos – Denver is in the playoffs with a win. With Kansas City resting starters, the Broncos are 10.5-point home favorites. Tampa Bay Buccaneers – The Bucs are also in a “win and in” situation at home against the Saints. Tampa is currently a 13-point favorite and clearly in the driver’s seat. A victory secures Tampa another NFC South crown and the No. 3 seed. Green Bay Packers – Green Bay has already clinched a playoff spot. The Packers enter Week 18 as the No. 7 seed. However, they could move up to No. 6 with a home win against the Bears and a Dallas victory over Washington. Additionally, Matt LaFleur said he plans to play his starters in their normal roles. Washington Commanders – Dan Quinn also told the media his starters will play in Week 18 as the Commanders try to secure the No. 6 seed. Whoever wins that spot avoids an opening-round trip to Philadelphia, so there is plenty of motivation for Washington to dispatch the hated Cowboys. To Be Determined Pittsburgh Steelers – The Steelers play Saturday night and will already know the outcome of the Baltimore vs. Cleveland game. If the Ravens (17.5-point home favorites) win, Pittsburgh is locked into the No. 5 seed and will travel to Houston. If the Browns pull the upset, the Steelers will play all-out for the No. 3 seed. Miami Dolphins – The Dolphins need a lot of help to make the playoffs. Most importantly, they need the Broncos (10.5-point favorites) to lose. Miami is also dealing with a lot of injuries, so they’ll be playing to win but monitoring the game in Denver. Fantasy managers can target De’Von Achane, Tyreek Hill, and Jonnu Smith and hope for a fast start. Atlanta Falcons – Week 18 is a must-win for the Falcons to have any hope of winning the NFC South. However, Atlanta also needs Tampa Bay to lose, so they will be going all-out while keeping an eye on the scoreboard. With the Bucs big home favorites, the odds are against the Falcons sneaking into the postseason field. Regardless, they’ll likely play their starters the full game. Los Angeles Chargers – The Chargers travel to Las Vegas on Sunday and will already know if they have anything at stake thanks the the Steelers vs. Bengals game on Saturday. If Pittsburgh wins, the Chargers are locked into the No. 6 seed. However, if Cincinnati wins, LA could move up to fifth. Jim Harbaugh said he plans to win but “will do what’s best for the team.” Player Incentives Quarterbacks Geno Smith – Needs 186 passing yards to earn a $2 million bonus. Also earns an additional $2 million if Seattle hits 10 wins. Finally, Smith earns another $2 million if he finishes at or above his current 70.2% completion rate. Baker Mayfield – Mayfield will earn a half-million if he finishes the season in the top 10 in passer rating, touchdowns, yards, completion rate, or yards-per-attempt. He is checking all of those boxes entering this game. ‘Pay dat men his money’. Aaron Rodgers – In what could be his final NFL game, Rodgers needs 377 passing yards to top 4,000 for the season. His highest figure all year was 339 in Week 14. C.J. Stroud – Stroud is just ahead of Rodgers and would need 323 passing yards to top 4K. However, with the Texans locked into the No. 4 seed, that is highly unlikely. Kyler Murray – Murray would need

Geno Smith UNDER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-115)
I’m taking the under on Geno Smith’s passing touchdowns this week. Why? Because the numbers don’t lie, and they’re stacking up against the Seahawks quarterback.
First, let’s talk about Geno. Sure, he’s racking up the passing yards—he’s among the NFL’s best in that department. But when it comes to turning those yards into touchdowns, it’s been a struggle. In 12 games this season, Geno has thrown just 13 passing touchdowns, with only five of those coming on the road. He’s managed multiple touchdown games just twice this year, and last season wasn’t much different—20 touchdowns in 15 games. So, this isn’t a fluke; it’s a pattern.
Now, let’s flip the script and talk about Arizona’s defense, because wow, they’ve been bringing the heat. Over the past six games, the Cardinals have allowed only four total passing touchdowns. Even more impressive? At home, they’ve pitched a defensive shutout in three straight games—no passing touchdowns, no rushing touchdowns, nothing. In fact, across six home games this year, they’ve given up just three passing touchdowns total.
Put it all together, and the data points to one conclusion: this under is a smart play. Sure, betting unders can be nerve-wracking, but with Geno’s trends and Arizona’s defensive dominance, I feel good about this one.

Week 13 NFL Player Props
For the fourth consecutive week, we dropped a 3-3 record with our player props wagers. However, due to an added sprinkle on Ladd McConkey’s receiving yardage line, we managed to profit in Week 12. It wasn’t technically one of the plays last week but since it was mentioned in the Justin Herbert writeup, I’m going to count it. And the plus-odds bet on Mike Evans’ receiving yardage was a nice little victory. Still, we only gained +.45 Units and are now an even +4.0 Units on the season. Despite still being in the green, it’s time for us to catch fire like the first few weeks of the campaign with Week 13 NFL Player Props!
We are due for a big week and it might come during the festive holidays. For Thanksgiving, we will discuss some Turkey Day props, as well as a few over the weekend. In Week 13, instead of providing you with my favorite six or seven props, I will list my top 10 player props.

Derek Carr OVER 214.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Derek Carr’s passing yards line for Week 13 against the Rams looks attainable based on a few key metrics and trends this season. Not to mention, he helped us triple up a few weeks ago so we’re going back to the well despite the lack of weapons surrounding him.
Consistent passing volume has helped Carr as the Saints are typically playing from behind. Carr has surpassed this line in 8 of his last 10 games. This consistency underscores his role in the Saints offense, which leans heavily on his arm, especially in matchups where they face defensive vulnerabilities in the secondary. Which leads me to my next point.
The Rams have had some serious defensive struggles in 2024. The Rams have allowed over 243 passing yards per game this season, ranking among the league’s bottom-tier pass defenses. Their secondary has struggled to contain opposing quarterbacks, giving Carr an advantageous matchup.
And although Carr doesn’t have the weapons that he once started the season with, the Rams’ defense has shown a tendency to allow massive big-chunk plays, providing Carr with the opportunity to rack up yards efficiently. Not to mention, the game script should favor the veteran signal-caller eclipsing this line. The Rams’ offense can score quickly with Matthew Stafford, Kyren Williams, Puka Nacua, and Cooper Kupp, which would force the Saints to keep up. This dynamic increases Carr’s likelihood of exceeding his yardage line as the Saints try to stay competitive.
All of these factors and trends point towards Carr surpassing this line. Don’t forget that he has easily eclipsed this prop line in three consecutive games since returning from a mid-season injury. This bodes well for Carr on Sunday. Smash…

Derek Carr OVER 201.5 Passing Yards (-110)
On paper, things aren’t exactly looking rosy for Derek Carr. He’s lost his most explosive playmaker, Rashid Shaheed, and he’ll likely be without Chris Olave this week due to a concussion. To make matters worse, starting slot receiver Bub Means has landed on IR. Woof!
But don’t write off the Saints’ offense just yet! Even though they’re down three key wideouts, weapons are still in play. The tight end group is sneaky good, with three pass-catchers who bring different skill sets to the table. Take Juwan Johnson, for instance—he’s practically a wide receiver in a tight end’s body and has racked up 40+ receiving yards in three of his last four games.
Then there’s Alvin Kamara, who’s still a receiving dynamo out of the backfield, putting up 55 and 60 receiving yards over the last two weeks. Plus, the Saints have had more time to integrate new faces like Marquez Valdes-Scantling and Cedrick Wilson, so Carr isn’t completely out of options.
And very importantly, Carr is in a very favorable matchup. Atlanta struggles to pressure the quarterback (dead last in sacks per game) and allows a league-worst 70.85% completion rate. Carr has played the Falcons three times since joining New Orleans, averaging a solid 269 yards per game, including a 239-yard outing in Week 4.
So, while the Saints’ recent injuries and their loss to Carolina might have some people worried, Carr’s passing line this week seems like an overreaction. It’s a lower number than it should be, and Carr has plenty of tools left to work with against a vulnerable Falcons defense…

For the first time this season, we had back-to-back weeks in the red. However, with a 3-4 record in Week 8, we are still 29-26 on the season and +2.75 Units.

Dak Prescott OVER 1.5 Passing Touchdowns (-125)
I don’t usually dabble in this market, but this one’s just too tempting to ignore! Dak Prescott has been on a roll, throwing for multiple touchdowns in 4 of his last 5 games, and now he gets a golden matchup against Atlanta.
The Falcons’ defense has been generous to opposing quarterbacks lately, allowing multiple touchdown passes in each of their last four games. And with Dallas’ run game not providing much support, I’m expecting Dak to be slinging the ball all over the field this Sunday.
Plus, this game has the highest total of the day, meaning we’re likely in for a high-scoring, back-and-forth affair. We only need Dak to find the end zone twice through the air, and with everything lining up just right, this bet looks like a winner!

Jordan Love OVER 255.5 Passing Yards (-110)
Since returning from injury, Jordan Love has been a bit of a mixed bag—showing glimpses of brilliance and moments of struggle. He’s averaged just 222 passing yards against tougher defenses like Houston and the Rams but lit up weaker secondaries like Arizona and Minnesota with 323.5 yards per game.
This week, Love has a prime opportunity to thrive against a Jacksonville Jaguars defense that ranks 31st in passing yards allowed, giving up a generous 285 yards per game. The Jags’ defense is vulnerable, allowing a 68% completion rate while relying heavily on man coverage, something Love is poised to exploit.
With four receivers capable of creating separation, Love should have no trouble finding open targets. Plus, Jacksonville’s lack of pressure—boasting the lowest blitz rate and 7th lowest QB pressure rate in the league—means Love will have plenty of time in the pocket to carve up the field and pile on the yards. Expect a big game from J-Love!

Geno Smith OVER 24.5 Pass Completions (+100)
The Seattle Seahawks’ defense has been struggling, and this Sunday they’ll try to contain an Atlanta Falcons offense that’s been on fire, scoring 74 points in the last two games. Spoiler: I don’t expect Seattle to pull it off, which means Geno Smith will be airing it out to keep the Seahawks in the game.
Falcons’ opponents have completed 26+ passes in three of their last four games, and Atlanta’s defensive strategy seems to be: bend, don’t break. They play zone coverage at the third-highest rate in the league, allowing the highest completion percentage, but also limiting teams to the fifth-lowest yards per attempt and sixth-lowest air yards per attempt.
On top of that, Atlanta’s pass rush is almost non-existent, generating pressure at the second-lowest rate in the NFL (14%), which means Geno Smith should have plenty of time to sit back and dink-and-dunk his way down the field.
Smith, by the way, leads the NFL in pass attempts and completions, even though he ranks 27th in average depth of target among starting QBs. He’s more than happy to chip away methodically, and it’s working—he’s topped this completion mark in five straight games, averaging 31 per game during that stretch.
At even money, I’m all in on Geno topping this number again.

Jayden Daniels OVER 223.5 Passing Yards (-110)
This game boasts a 51.5-point total, the second-highest on the slate. The Commanders’ rookie QB is off to a scorching start, and the numbers back it up. The Ravens have been giving up an NFL-worst 304 passing yards per game to opposing quarterbacks, and Daniels has exceeded expectations four games in a row with 226, 254, 233, and 238 yards against the Giants, Bengals, Cardinals, and Browns, respectively.
Jayden Daniels will finish what we started and be the Franchise QB the city deserves. @JayD__5 🫡 pic.twitter.com/p69G0xUadX
— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) October 10, 2024
Offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury has been dialing up game plans that make life as smooth as possible for Daniels, and there’s no reason to think that will change in this matchup. Expect the rookie to stay hot and capitalize on a vulnerable Ravens defense! Baltimore put up a massive 41 points in Week 5 so expect Daniels to air it out in an attempt to keep up with Lamar Jackson and company. I may even sprinkle an extra unit on this wager as I expect Baltimore to shut down the run but struggle in the secondary.

Jordan Love OVER 257.5 Passing Yards (-110)
The Los Angeles Rams’ defense has struggled across the board, but their pass defense is especially concerning. They’ve allowed the most yards per completion (12.6) and air yards per attempt (10.3) in the league, and now they face Jordan Love, who ranks fourth among all quarterbacks in average depth of target.
After missing Weeks 2 and 3, Love returned last Sunday, shaking off a slow first half to rack up 389 passing yards by the end of the game—following up his 260-yard performance against the Eagles in Week 1. Love and the Packers are primed for another big outing, and they get a bonus boost from the Rams’ defensive scheme. According to Pro Football Focus, the Rams run zone defense at the eighth-highest rate in the NFL, but they rank 28th or worse in defensive success rate, yards per reception, and yards allowed per coverage snap when in zone.
Green Bay excels against zone defenses, and their wide receivers—Jayden Reed, Dontayvion Wicks, and Romeo Doubs—are thriving. All three are in the Top 25 in yards per catch vs. zone and in the Top 30 in yards per route run against zone coverage, making them a dangerous trio for this matchup.
The only real threat to this passing total is if the Packers open up a huge lead and go run-heavy, but with their defense also struggling, this game could stay competitive enough for Love to keep airing it out all four quarters…
