Week 18 fantasy football quarterback rankings: Top QB streamers, starts

Sometimes all you need to do is make the playoffs, because once you do, the path to winning a championship is mostly paved with good luck and timely performances.

Nowhere is there a better example this year than at the quarterback position.

While Josh Allen, Drake Maye and Matthew Stafford have been excellent all season, two quarterbacks in particular have elevated their games to superhuman levels over the past three weeks.

Trevor Lawrence of the Jacksonville Jaguars and Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers have accounted for 12 and 13 total touchdowns respectively over their last three games – with Lawrence putting up more total fantasy points in Weeks 15-17 than any other quarterback in the Super Bowl era, according to ESPN.

If you still happen to be playing in Week 18, Lawrence is a strong bet to keep that momentum going against Tennessee.
