Week 18 of the 2025-26 NFL season continues with a great Sunday slate. There are far more ways to get involved in the action than just via traditional betting. One of the more unique features on DraftKings this season is Pick6 Fantasy Football!
Here are my top Pick6 plays for the Week 18 Sunday slate.
Tee Higgins More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Tee Higgins should be in for a good game against the Browns. Cleveland has no interest in winning this game. A loss could improve its draft position if one of several teams behind it wins this week. The Cleveland defense is also nowhere near as dangerous on the road as it is at home. The Browns are allowing 28.3 points per game on the road, compared to 18.1 at home. Cleveland’s top cover corner, Denzel Ward, will be focused on Ja’Marr Chase, which should open the door for Tee Higgins to get single coverage against an inferior cornerback. Higgins’ big frame makes him a great red-zone target. He has 10 receiving touchdowns on the season, tied for the fifth-most in the NFL. Higgins should end the season with one more score against his division rivals on Sunday.
Tanner McKee More Than 1.5 Passing Touchdowns
Tanner McKee is getting the start for the Eagles against the Commanders, with Jalen Hurts resting up for the postseason. McKee was in this exact position last season, making his first career start against the Giants in Week 18 with Hurts resting. McKee threw the ball 41 times in that game, more than Jalen Hurts did in any game last season. That included two touchdown passes from McKee. Typically, this is a run-heavy offense with Hurts using his legs and the great Saquon Barkley rushing. However, McKee is a more traditional pocket passer, and with Barkley also resting, it should be a pass-heavy attack from the Eagles. Not only does that fit McKee’s skillset better, but the Commanders rank dead last in the NFL in defensive EPA/dropback. McKee should have success through the air and throw for at least two scores on Sunday.
Chig Okonkwo More Than 4.5 Receptions
In his fourth NFL season, Chig Okonkwo has had the best season of his career. Okonkwo has been a reliable target for his rookie quarterback, Cam Ward, leading the Titans in both receptions and receiving yards. The Titans have a chance to play spoiler in Week 18, with an upset over the Jaguars potentially pushing them into a Wild Card spot if the Texans win. If the Titans have any chance of pulling off that upset, they will need a good game from Okonkwo. The Jaguars have struggled to cover tight ends all season. They are allowing 6.31 receptions per game to opposing tight ends, tied for the third-most in the NFL. Cam Ward should force-feed his tight end in this game and get Okonkwo over 4.5 receptions.
