Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 16: CeeDee Lamb, Jaylen Waddle, Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins, Christian Kirk

Wide Receiver Matchups to Target in Week 15

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 11

Welcome to Week 11 of the WR/CB Matchup chart.

WR/CB Matchups to Target and Downgrade - Week 10

Welcome to Week 10 of the WR/CB Matchup chart. As the season progresses, the chart becomes more predictive.
