New York Giants

New York Giants wide receiver Darius Slayton has posted back-to-back performances of at least 90 yards and one touchdown. The veteran looks to take advantage of another favorable matchup. Two weeks ago against this same Philadelphia secondary, Slayton hit the 90-yard mark on three catches. In both of the last two contests, he's snagged a catch of at least 69 yards on his scoring play. Outside of those plays, production for Slayton has been minimal. He's the most trustworthy receiving option on the Giants, as he leads the team in receiving yards, but he could easily bust without another long catch.

Houston Texans running back Devin Singletary will look to continue his strong season in Week 18 against the Indianapolis Colts. Singletary has taken over the Texans' backfield and has posted at least 65 rush yards in three of the past four games. Last week, the 26-year-old ran 16 times for 80 yards while also catching three passes for six yards. Now, he'll go up against a Colts' run defense that has struggled to contain fantasy running backs this season. Indianapolis has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to that position group in 2023, making Singletary a nice option in Week 18.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after an illness kept him sidelined on Wednesday. Rarely ever on the field, he has seen an uptick in his snap share in recent weeks but still has a season-high of 34% that came in Week 16. With Jonathan Mingo (foot) now on injured reserve, Smith-Marsette may see more work in Week 18 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Bucs have given up the most pass yards this season, but in Week 13 still were able to hold quarterback Bryce Young to just 178 yards through the air. Smith-Marsette does not need to be anywhere near fantasy rosters in Week 18.

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (foot) was not officially activated from Injured Reserve by his 21-day deadline on Wednesday and will not play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the division-rival Las Vegas Raiders. A hamstring injury kept Dulcich out for the vast majority of his second NFL season, although a foot injury was ultimately what prevented him from making a late-season return. The 23-year-old caught three of his four targets for 25 yards in the two games he appeared in this year. Adam Trautman served as Denver's top pass-catching tight end all year with Dulcich sidelined, but he wasn't a realistic weekly starting option. Dulcich has some intrigue as a pass-catcher, but he's going to need to stay on the field to stay in Denver's long-term plans heading into the 2024 season.

Carolina Panthers wide receiver Ihmir Smith-Marsette (illness) did not participate in practice on Wednesday as his team began preparing to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. Smith-Marsette is dealing with an illness but will still have two more days of practice to get back on the field ahead of Sunday's game. If available on Sunday, the speedy wideout could see a larger role than usual with Jonathan Mingo (foot) placed on injured reserve earlier in the week.
