Week 18 Fantasy Football Waiver Wire: Latest news on Brock Purdy, Zack Moss and more
Latest news: NFL players say Damar Hamlin’s injury was not caused by Tee Higgins
Summary
- Brock Purdy
- Zack Moss
- Rashid Shaheed
- Jarrett Stidham
1. Brock Purdy
Brock Purdy has scored at least 20 Fantasy points in three of his four starts, with his lowest total coming in Week 16 against Washington. With a win over Arizona and an Eagles loss to the Giants, the 49ers can secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC, so they have plenty of motivation for this game.

2. Zack Moss
Moss has had 41 carries for 220 yards (5.4 yards per carry) in the three games since Jonathan Taylor (ankle) went down, but he has yet to score and has only one catch for 5 yards on two targets. Given the matchup, however, Moss has top-20 upside in all leagues in Week 18.
3. Rashid Shaheed
With his matchup against the Panthers, Shaheed has the potential to be a No. 3 receiver in all leagues this week. The Panthers have been terrible against receivers of late and are missing starting corners Donte Jackson (Achilles) and Jaycee Horn (Achilles) (wrist). Shaheed has scored at least 13 PPR points in two of Carolina’s last three games in the last six games.
4. Jarrett Stidham
Stidham had one of the season’s most shocking games in Week 17 against San Francisco, when he came in for the injured Derek Carr and scored 31 Fantasy points with 365 yards, three touchdowns, two interceptions, and 34 rushing yards. In deeper leagues, Stidham could be a good flier.
