As always, the biggest question this Week 18 is … who the heck is even playing? The answer is ever-changing, but Kyle Dvorchak does his best to tackle it in his motivation tracker. Be sure to keep it locked to our player news section for the latest updates, including all day Thursday, Friday and Saturday. This is an imperfect list — the landscape is just too uncertain — but I will do my best to keep it current. If you are wondering this week’s guiding principles, they are: 1. Is this player playing? 2. Is this player good? Good luck out there. - Pat.
