Fantasy Impact: To no surprise, Winfield will be sidelined in Week 18. He has missed a decent amount of time with a knee injury, and the team doesn't want to rush him back for the final week of the regular season when they have their sights set for the playoffs. Their secondary will be playing at less than 100% strength for as long as he remains out.

Fantasy Impact: Shepard was limited at practice all week due to a hamstring injury. He now carries a questionable tag heading into the weekend, and it's currently unclear whether or not he is trending towards playing. Fantasy managers shouldn't be looking to start him even if he's fully healthy for the final week of the regular season.

Fantasy Impact: Durham is dealing with a quad injury that left him sidelined at practice earlier in the week, but he will be available to play for the Buccaneers on Sunday. He's expected to see more work than usual with Cade Otton (knee) likely out of the lineup against New Orleans.

Devin Culp (ribs) will be active for Week 18 against the New Orleans Saints. (Source: Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Fantasy Impact: Culp will be available to play for the Buccaneers in Week 18, despite the injury to his ribs that he has been managing all week. He'll be in line for more work than usual with Cade Otton (knee) likely out for Sunday's game, but he probably won't be involved enough to be a strong option for fantasy purposes.

Fantasy Impact: The Buccaneers are likely to be without Otton in Week 18. He's managing a knee injury right now, and they don't want to risk further injury for him prior to the playoffs. His expected absence will lead to more work for Payne Durham against the Saints.

Bucky Irving (shoulder/shin) is good to go for Week 18's game against the New Orleans Saints. (Source: Tampa Bay Buccaneers)

Fantasy Impact: The rookie is dealing with a pair of injuries right now, but he is off of the injury report and will be good to go for the team's game on Sunday. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him in the final week of the regular season.

Travis Kelce (rest) is doubtful to play in Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Kansas City Chiefs)

Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs are expected to be without Kelce on Sunday. They have already secured the top seed in the AFC, so they feel better off resting him in preparation for the playoffs along with many of their other starters. Noah Gray is expected to be the team's top tight end in his absence.

Isiah Pacheco (rib) has been ruled out for Week 18's game against the Denver Broncos. (Source: Kansas City Chiefs)

Fantasy Impact: Pacheco won't play in Week 18. He was a non-participant at practice all week due to a rib injury, and the team wants to err on the side of caution with their playoff seeding already locked in. Kareem Hunt (rest) is also likely to be sidelined, so Carson Steele will see increased opportunities against Denver.

Fantasy Impact: The Chiefs will likely be without Hunt on Sunday. They want to give him time to rest and recover ahead of their first playoff game, and they don't have much incentive to start him with their playoff seed already locked up. Isiah Pacheco (rib) has been ruled out as well, so Carson Steele could see a large workload in Week 18.

Josh Jacobs (wrist) is available to play in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. (Source: Wes Hodkiewicz)

Fantasy Impact: Jacobs will be available to play in Week 18. He was listed on the injury report earlier in the week due to a wrist injury, but he carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. He should play but is expected to see less work than usual with Green Bay looking to keep him fresh for the playoffs.

Christian Watson (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears. (Source: Wes Hodkiewicz)

Fantasy Impact: The Packers may be without Watson on Sunday. He's managing a knee injury right now and officially carries a questionable tag heading into the weekend. If he's ruled out ahead of game time, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks will both be primed for more work in his absence.

K.J. Osborn (illness) has been added to the injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys. (Source: Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Osborn wasn't on the injury report early on in the week, but he has since been added because of an illness that he's dealing with. It could leave him sidelined in Week 18, but fantasy managers shouldn't put much weight into his status against the Cowboys, as he doesn't see much work even when fully healthy for the Commanders.

Dyami Brown (hamstring) is off of the injury report for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. (Source: Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Brown missed Washington's last game due to a hamstring injury, but he carries no injury designation for Sunday's game and should be good to go against the Cowboys. He doesn't project to have much individual fantasy value against Dallas, but his presence should be good for QB Jayden Daniels moving forward.

Austin Ekeler (concussion) is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. (Source: Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ekeler recently had his 21-day practice window opened up and was able to log full practices all week. He is officially questionable to play heading into the weekend, which is an encouraging sign for his availability. Even if he plays, fantasy managers shouldn't be looking to start him in the final week of the regular season.

Terry McLaurin (ankle/rest) will play in Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. (Source: Todd Archer on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: McLaurin missed practice earlier this week, but he was able to log two-straight full practices to end the week and carries no injury designation heading into the weekend. Fantasy managers shouldn't hesitate to start him in the final week of the regular season.

Dallas Goedert (knee) is good to go for Week 18's game against the New York Giants. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Eagles recently opened Goedert's 21-day practice window, and he is without an injury designation entirely heading into Week 18. He should play against the Giants, although it remains to be seen how much, as Philadelphia is resting several of their starters in the final week of the regular season.

Kenny Pickett (ribs) is officially questionable for Week 18's game against the New York Giants. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Eagles are listing Pickett as questionable to play in Sunday's game. He's managing an injury to his ribs right now, and it has been reported that Tanner McKee is prepping to be the team's starter in Week 18. Philadelphia will be without a number of key starters in the final week of the regular season, so it looks like this offense is one worth avoiding entirely for fantasy purposes this week.

Jalen Hurts (concussion/finger) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: As expected, Hurts will be unable to play on Sunday. He's still dealing with a concussion right now, and he's also managing a finger injury as well. The team will give him a week off to rest and recover before the playoffs begin, as they seem to be doing for players like Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and Devonta Smith as well.

DeVonta Smith (wrist/rest) is doubtful to play in Week 18's game against the New York Giants. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The Eagles are likely going to be without Smith in Week 18. He is dealing with a minor wrist injury right now, and the team would also prefer to give him a week off to rest and recover before the playoffs start. Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson are both expected to see more reps in his likely absence on Sunday.

Will Shipley (concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the New York Giants. (Source: Philadelphia Eagles on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: The rookie is currently in the NFL's concussion protocols. He was able to log a full practice session on Friday, but he still has yet to be fully cleared and is officially questionable for Sunday's game. It looks like he's trending towards playing, however, and will be in line for more work than usual with Saquon Barkley (rest) likely out of the lineup for Philadelphia.
