Week 18 is a dark time in fantasy football seasons. For most, the season has become merely a shadow, a whisper of history carried on a cold wind.

For the lucky, they survived the journey and captured their glory with a championship victory in Week 17. But for those who dare enter the dark forest of Week 18, there is one more adventure ahead. A slate of games ripe with pitfalls and uncertainties, where motivations and availability offer no steady footing in the fantasy mire.

Yet, there is one, one that may be a light to you in a dark place, when all other lights go out. One glorious game to rule them all.
