These are the top ten wide receivers in fantasy football this week:<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • Nacua has a 3.5 PPR fantasy point lead over JSN on the season. Both are over 45 fantasy points ahead of the next closest guy, St. Brown. Both should end their season on a strong note in Week 18 and are the top two options in the wide receiver rankings.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Lamb and Pickens have a great matchup against the Giants<\/a> to close out their seasons. Pickens is tied with Chase for the fourth-most fantasy points among wide receivers this year, making Pickens one of the best fantasy draft day steals in 2025.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Another great draft value was Olave, who is the WR6 on the season, which is the first time he has finished as a top ten fantasy wide receiver. He and quarterback Shough have established a great connection, as Olave has back-to-back weeks as the WR2. However, he was declared out due to a blood clot in his lungs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
