Fantasy football rankings for Week 18: Find players poised to go all-out

The fantasy football playoffs are over for all but a handful of die-hard leagues that still play their championship games on the final week of the regular season ... or who have two-week, total-point finals.

If you're still playing -- or are just looking for players to plug in a daily fantasy lineup -- we're still here to help you finish on a high note.

Fantasy football rankings for Week 18 are based on the point-per-reception (PPR) scoring used in most seasonal and daily fantasy football formats. One point is awarded for every 10 rushing and receiving yards and one point for every 20 passing yards. Six points are awarded for touchdowns scored, four points for passing TDs and one point for receptions.

Rankings are compiled by FantasySharks.com.
