re: Week 18 Holdouts / Unsung Heroes (Sleepers)

Well, first, you can rule out at least the players from these teams having heavy roles in Wk 18 currently:

Ravens (Big snow?)
49ers
Rams

So, the "Unsung Heroes (Sleepers)" would need to come from teams that need the win. Lots of permutations here.

Some thoughts:

1. Jags should have Lawrence back this week. Titans pass defense sucks. I think they can take care of the game handily. Beat the Titans, and they win the AFC South. Plenty of motivation. A trap might be Evans as the Titans are pretty good against TEs. I'd target Etienne, who's looking for back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons and is becoming more involved in the passing game.

2. Bills. Miami-Buffalo game is going to be intense. Bills can win the AFC East for the fourth consecutive season with a win in Miami. I'd target Allen and Cooks.

3. Steelers. Baltimore/Pittsburgh is a huge game especially since Pittsburgh is in a must win situation. Pickens has come on of late. Don't see them running on Baltimore even with the Ravens probably sitting their key players.

4. Seahawks. Do or die. Seattle needs a win, and they need the Packers to lose. Fortunately, they play the Cardinals. Target Geno and DK.

5. Cowboys. Don't know how much Lamb and Dak would be considered "Sleepers" this week, but they're the obvious stack of the week against the Commanders.
