Is this it? We’re already at the last week in the regular season? Through the holidays, fantasy football playoffs, and weeks of NFL playoff scenarios changing, time has been flying by. We have one last hurrah in Week 18 to craft fantasy football lineups and place player prop bets on the DraftKings Sportsbook with every team suiting up.
Typically, every Friday at 3 p.m. ET streaming on @DKNetwork X and Instagram, DraftKings Sportsbook analyst Steve Buchanan and NFL guru Meghan Townsley bring you Injury Report Live: your go-to spot for fantasy and betting advice based on the most notable injuries in the league. Well, in Week 18, everything changes. Starters with locked-in playoff seeds may sit or have snap counts, and players with lingering injuries may play through it to finish out the season. Plus, we can’t forget about player incentives!

Week 18’s edition of Injury Report Live will highlight the best value DFS plays on DraftKings based on the following criteria:
- Injuries
- Starters resting
- Players with incentives to hit
The goal is to avoid the last-minute scramble to fix lineups and be ahead of the game instead. IRL is taking the injury report a step further by chopping up backup scenarios, finding the best diamond-in-the-rough value plays, and providing picks on DraftKings Sportsbook—plus weekly entertainment, of course.
This week, Steve and Meghan will break down the Week 18 injury report and give you top-tier DraftKings fantasy advice based on player statuses: Will Brock Purdy suit up for his last game of the season after suffering a right elbow injury vs. the Lions?
