Week 18 of the 2025-26 NFL regular season concludes with a Sunday Night Football matchup between the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens. 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 Sunday Night Football.
Mark Andrews More Than 0.5 Rushing + Receiving Touchdowns
Mark Andrews has been the go-to guy in big games for Lamar Jackson throughout his career. In what is essentially a playoff game, Jackson should look to his old reliable target, especially in the red zone. It has been an up-and-down season for the Ravens, dealing with injuries across the board, but especially to their quarterback. However, Andrews has been solid, ranking second on the team in receptions and receiving yards while leading the team in touchdown catches.
In addition to his ability to score through the air, the Ravens have used Andrews on QB sneaks over the past couple of seasons. Especially with Lamar Jackson not at full health, Andrews could get a QB sneak from the one-yard line to score a touchdown. The Steelers have also struggled against tight ends this season, ranking 31st in the NFL in receptions and receiving touchdowns allowed to opposing tight ends. In the biggest game of the Ravens’ season, Andrews should rise to the occasion and find the end zone.
Jaylen Warren Less Than 48.5 Rushing Yards
Jaylen Warren could be in for a quiet night against the Ravens. It has been a solid season for Warren, but he has not been very consistent on the ground. Warren is sharing a backfield with Kenneth Gainwell in something of a pass-heavy offense. Aaron Rodgers dictates so much of the offense at the line of scrimmage based on what he sees across from him. When in doubt, the future Hall of Famer trusts himself above anyone else. That is why Pittsburgh ranks 23rd in the NFL in rush play percentage.
Warren should have a particularly hard time against a tough Ravens run defense. Since Week 10, the Ravens lead the NFL in defensive EPA/rush. That was evidenced in the first matchup between these teams a few weeks ago. In that first matchup, Warren rushed for just 13 yards on eight carries, by far his worst game of the season. It should be another tough night for Warren as the Ravens should keep him under 48.5 rushing yards.
Derrick Henry More Than 3.5 Receiving Yards
Derrick Henry is playing his best football down the stretch just as he always does. He keeps his body in impeccable shape, while the defenses he faces have worn down over a long 17-game season. In his career, Henry averages 96.9 rushing yards per game in December, compared to 77.9 rushing yards per game in September-November. Since the NFL expanded the regular season, Henry has now played five January regular-season games as well. In those games, he has been even better, averaging a remarkable 143 rushing yards per game.
Henry has been even better than his career numbers down the stretch of this season. In four December games this season, Henry averaged 134.5 rushing yards per game and scored six touchdowns. With Lamar Jackson back, the Ravens won’t be as run-heavy as they were with Tyler Huntley, but that could lead to Henry getting some work in the passing game. Jackson had a run of six games in which he was at full health in the middle of the season, specifically after his first injury and before his second one. In each of those six games, Henry had at least one catch. He went for at least eight receiving yards in five of those six games.
There is nothing to save Henry for if Baltimore loses, so he should play as many snaps as possible in what is essentially a playoff game. The Steelers also have a great pass rush led by T.J. Watt, who is returning this week from injury. If Jackson is not at full health and under pressure from the Pittsburgh pass rush, he should look to Henry as a quick outlet at least once. In the form Henry is in, it will be tough to bring him down before he picks up at least a few yards. Even if he only has one catch, Henry should get over 3.5 receiving yards just like he did in the first matchup between these teams a few weeks ago.
