Week 18 is upon us. The end of the regular season, but fear not, I will continue my value column into the playoffs. We haven’t quite decided what it will look like yet since there will be games on Saturday and Sunday, but rest assured, I will be trying to find those diamond in the rough players for you. But first, Week 18…

Quarterback

DraftKings

Tyler Huntley (BAL)  $5,700 vs. PIT
Huntley wasn’t very good last week against the Rams, failing to throw for a touchdown, but he still had over 50 yards rushing, and that’s why you roster him. Pittsburgh’s pass defense ranks in the middle of the pack in DVOA but near the bottom in rush DVOA. Huntley should once again have 50-plus rushing yards. He just needs to find the endzone with his legs or through the air to pay off his salary.

Honorable Mention: Jordan Love (GB) $5,500 @ DET

FanDuel

Jordan Love (GB) $5,500 @ DET
Packers have already secured the No. 1 seed and the first-round bye, they have nothing to play for and no reason to play Aaron Rodgers for more than a few snaps, if at all. That leaves Love, who looked good in relief last week when the game got out of hand. Playing against the Lions, who rank 29th in pass DVOA, should allow Love to put up some decent fantasy points at his price.
