Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is a solid kicking option in Week 18 fantasy lineups. The Pro Bowl alternate has had an excellent season and should have the chance to kick a few more field goals against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday afternoon. He's been accurate and clutch all year, making 27 of his 29 field goal attempts (including seven from 50 yards or longer) and all of his extra points.



Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Quentin Johnston will look to end his disappointing rookie season on a high note in a Week 18 game against the Kansas City Chiefs. Johnston, the Chargers first-round pick, has just 36 catches for 414 yards and two touchdowns. He'll have a key role with Keenan Allen (heel) likely out and Joshua Palmer (concussion) possibly limited. Johnston doesn't have much upside even against Chiefs backups. He'll be a WR4.



Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was downgraded to a non-participant in practice on Wednesday a day after he was listed as limited in a walkthrough. Harris followed a similar routine for practice last week but ended up playing in the Week 17 win over the Seattle Seahawks, rushing for 122 yards and two touchdowns. As long as Harris returns to practice on Thursday, he should be good to play in Saturday's must-win divisional clash against the Baltimore Ravens. The 25-year-old is still losing valuable touches to backfield mate Jaylen Warren, but Harris has looked better of late and will at least be an upside RB3/flex play for fantasy managers against a Ravens defense that could be resting several key starters in a meaningless game for them as they rest up for the playoffs.



Atlanta Falcons head coach Arthur Smith said that quarterback Taylor Heinicke (ankle) will be limited in Wednesday's practice. The fact that Heinicke will be able to practice on Wednesday is a good sign that he'll be available to play in the must-win Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the New Orleans Saints on the road. The 30-year-old veteran went just 10-for-29 for 163 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions in the Week 17 loss to the Chicago Bears, but he did help his fantasy line with a rushing score. If Heinicke is healthy enough to play this weekend, he's expected to get the starting nod over Desmond Ridder, who has already been benched twice this year. At best, Heinicke would be a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers in superflex leagues on Sunday against New Orleans.



Pittsburgh Steelers running back Najee Harris (knee) was listed as limited for the team's estimated walkthrough practice on Tuesday. Harris has been managing a knee issue for the last five weeks but he hasn't missed any time and will be ready to go for Saturday's must-win game against the division-rival Baltimore Ravens. The matchup isn't a great one for Harris, but Baltimore could be resting a lot of their best players in this one. The 25-year-old RB continues to lose valuable touches to fellow backfield mate Jaylen Warren, but it hasn't stopped him from being very productive in the last two weeks for fantasy managers, carrying the ball 46 times for 200 yards and three touchdowns in wins over the Cincinnati Bengals and Seattle Seahawks. Harris will have RB2 upside in the Week 18 regular season finale.
