Josh Allen, Davante Adams, NFL Injury Statuses and Fantasy Impact for Week 18

Joe TanseyJan 2, 2026

Josh Allen will be on the field in Week 18 as the Buffalo Bills try to secure the best seed possible in the AFC.

Allen has been dealing with a foot ailment, but does not have an injury designation for Buffalo's home clash with the New York Jets.

The news around Davante Adams is positive as well. The Los Angeles Rams wide receiver is listed as questionable after he missed the last few weeks with a hamstring issue.

    Josh Allen was a limited participant in Friday's practice, but he does not have an injury designation for Sunday, per ESPN's Adam Schefter.

    Allen did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday due to a foot issue.

    Allen likely will not be on the field for all four quarters on Sunday if the Bills deliver the same walloping to the New York Jets defense that the New England Patriots put on the last-place team in Week 17.

    Most of Allen's fantasy football numbers should come in the first half while the game is still slightly competitive.

    Allen produced 148 passing yards and 59 rushing yards in Week 2 against the Jets. The New York defense has gotten far worse since the September 14 contest.

    Allen is a must-start in any week, but for Week 18, he might be the ideal fantasy quarterback. He has a fantastic matchup against the Jets and the Bills are still playing for seeding in the AFC.

    If Buffalo wins, as expected, and one or both of the Los Angeles Chargers or Houston Texans lose, it will jump up from the No. 7 seed.

    Davante Adams Listed As Questionable

    Davante Adams's questionable designation is a positive sign for fantasy football managers who missed him over the last few weeks.

    Adams missed time with a hamstring injury, but he appears ready to play against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 18.

    The Rams might not be playing for anything, though, if the San Francisco 49ers beat the Seattle Seahawks on Saturday. That result would lock the Rams into the NFC's No. 6 seed.

    Rams head coach Sean McVay told reporters that he would play the starters regardless of the result on Saturday, per TheRams.com's Stu Jackson.

    "Oh we're playing," McVay said ."Yeah, they're playing. They were gonna play anyways. We need to play. We need to play better football."

    There may be some hesitation to play Adams in Week 18 fantasy matchups because he is coming off an injury layoff and the Rams could pull their starters if they are ahead against the Cardinals.

    Starting Adams is still better than the alternative of sifting through the waiver wire for depth players that might contribute, or starters that might not play more than a half.
