You will read some DFS articles for the final week of the NFL regular season that tell you to “scale back your play” or “don’t play cash games” since there is an extra layer of analysis and uncertainty that comes with playing this week. However, I’d argue that the extra layer of analysis makes this DFS slate one of the most fun and potentially profitable weeks of the year.
When analyzing this week for DFS is more about which teams and players have something to play for than it is who has the best matchups. Here is the list of teams that are fighting for either a playoff spot or playoff position in Week 18: Colts, Titans, Steelers, Ravens, Buccaneers, Patriots, Saints, Bills, 49ers, Rams, and Cardinals. Players from these teams should make up most (if not all) of your DraftKings and FanDuel Cash game lineups this week.

Kyler Murray (ARI): $7,400 vs. SEA
The Cardinals have clinched a playoff spot but can still win the division and get a home game in the first round, so Murray has plenty to play for this week against the Seahawks. Murray has posted at least 21 DraftKings points in four of his last five games.
