Fantasy Football: Week 18 NFL Implied Totals (DFS Late Slate)
Updated: Sunday, January 4 at 10:04 AM ET.
While nobody is right 100% of the time, the Vegas sportsbooks are right more often than they are wrong.
A helpful tool to determine which players to roster or start (or at least to break a tie), especially in daily fantasy football (DFS) contests, is NFL implied totals (projected point totals for each team based on NFL odds).
Looking at the over-under alone is not enough. Although it's an obvious statement, the more points a team scores (or is expected to score), the more likely that fantasy points will follow.
NFL implied totals listed in the table below are for games played during the late slate of DFS contests (4 PM ET start times) and excludes all other games.
In addition, Week 18 NFL odds from FanDuel Sportsbook were used to calculate implied totals and they are sorted from most to least projected points.
