Tennessee Titans

Carolina Panthers kicker Matthew Wright, who was elevated to the active roster on Saturday, will serve as the team's primary kicker versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The decision to elevate and activate Wright is a direct result of Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) missing Sunday's regular-season finale. Wright attempted 33 kicks last year but hasn't registered a snap in 2023. That will presumably change this week, though he remains off the fantasy radar given the Panthers' ongoing offensive struggles.

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Mason Rudolph completed 18 of his 20 pass attempts for 152 yards and one touchdown in a 17-10 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. Weather conditions in Baltimore made things difficult for the 28-year-old, who fumbled three times in the contest. Fortunately for Pittsburgh, only one resulted in a turnover. Big plays were difficult to come by on Saturday, but Rudolph did complete a strike over the middle of the field to Diontae Johnson for a 71-yard score early in the fourth quarter. Following a 0-3 run that mostly featured Mitch Trubisky at quarterback, the Steelers are now 3-0 over the past three weeks with Rudolph under center. It is safe to assume that Rudolph will retain QB1 duties should Pittsburgh make it into the playoffs.

Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Calvin Ridley faces the Tennessee Titans in a pivotal Week 18 matchup in Nashville. With backup C.J. Beathard drawing the start in a tough matchup, Ridley posted a disappointing but not unexpected 4-39-0 line. This gave him another sub-50 performance, his fifth of the year. Ridley's outlook this week heavily depends on the status of quarterback Trevor Lawrence who has been reported as a game-time decision. Against a beatable Titans secondary Ridley projects as a solid WR2 but with Beathard at the helm he would be relegated to flex status.

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Tyler Boyd may play in his final game with the organization on Sunday versus the Browns. The 2016 second-round pick has had a potent career in Cincinnati, including 1,000-yard seasons in 2018 and 2019. Unfortunately, he's had one of the worst campaigns of his career in 2023-24, catching 66 passes for 663 yards and two touchdowns. While there's a chance he re-signs with the Bengals in the offseason, he has at least one more opportunity for a productive outing on Sunday. That said, fantasy managers should at least consider him for their starting lineups, especially if Tee Higgins (hamstring) doesn't suit up. At the same time, Boyd warrants DFS consideration.

Tennessee Titans quarterback Will Levis (foot) remained limited during Friday's practice. He is officially questionable to play in Week 18, though head coach Mike Vrabel already announced that Ryan Tannehill will draw the start in what could be his final game as a Titan. If active, Levis will be the backup, keeping him off the fantasy football radar. Assuming he doesn't take a snap on Sunday, Levis will finish his rookie campaign having completed 58.4 percent of his passes for 1,808 yards, eight passing touchdowns, one rushing touchdown, and four interceptions.
