Fantasy football rankings for Week 18: Quarterback
Every Tuesday, the weekly rankings will be released. They will take into account each player’s abilities and offensive role in addition to the caliber of the team’s opponent. The rankings will also be updated all week long to account for fresh information and developing analysis.
We conducted our first of many mock drafts this year with a little twist: players from the upcoming 2024 NFL draft class were eligible to be picked. A number of our ESPN Fantasy experts and writers joined together to do this mock selection. The same might be said for some of the veterans selected in our mock who will be unrestricted free agents this offseason, even if it is evident that we don’t know which teams they will play for.
All players, except new rookies, are listed here with their respective 2023 teams. Teams with those players will be marked as “Rookie.”
NOTE: Following this mock, TreVeyon Henderson declared his decision to return to Ohio State.
