Week 18 is the most unique slate of the season with some teams still fighting for playoff spots, others resting before the playoffs and eliminated teams deciding whether or not to play their starters. With those dynamics in play, cash game players should typically stick to players in games with playoff implications unless there is a clear indication that specific players will get a full complement of starters reps elsewhere. This week’s article will take on a different format than the typical cash breakdown, highlighting those relevant games and which players are cash viable. With so much up in the air in week 18, 4for4 subscribers are encouraged to check back frequently for any updates leading up to kickoff.

Titans @ Texans

Assuming that the Chiefs take care of business on Saturday, Tennessee will need to win to lock up the top seed. As 10-point favorites, D'Onta Foreman ($5,700) is a top-five value against a Texans defense ranked 29th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points allowed to running backs. Foreman saw a season-high 65% snap share last week and has at least 22 carries in two of his last three games.
