WR CB Matchup Report
      
Left WR vs Right CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDK / FD $CornerbackOppMatchup
Marvin HarrisonARI$5500 / $6600Christian GonzalezNEDowngrade
Last week Marvin Harrison Jr drew solid target volume, with 8 looks going his way, but struggled to get on the same page with his quarterback. This might not be the week to expect a bounce-back as he’ll see coverage from the league’s 2nd-most frequent shadower, Christian Gonzalez. Gonzalez has started to round into form recently, holding his opponents under 25 receiving yards in 4 straight games and drawing his peripheral stats closer to those of his stellar rookie campaign.
Darnell MooneyATL$5600 / $6100Decamerion RichardsonLVUpgrade
The Week 14 shootout against the Vikings provided fertile ground for Darnell Mooney to get back to the upside he showed earlier in the season. He finished the day with 6 catches for 142 yards and finished as the WR13 in PPR formats. This week he’ll run against Decamerion Richardson of the Raiders, who has allowed nearly 50 yards per game since becoming the starter as he’s struggled to acclimate to the NFL level.
Rashod BatemanBAL$4400 / $5800Art GreenNYGUpgrade
In Week 15 we’ll add injury to the typical insults we’ve lobbed at the Giants’ secondary all year. They’ll be without Cor”Dale Flott for this game, leaving something called Art Green to cover Rashod Bateman. While Green has almost no NFL experience to speak of, we can say confidently that an UDFA who couldn’t push Flott and Banks for playing time very is likely a plus matchup overall.
Amari CooperBUF$5300 / $5900Terrion ArnoldDETNeutral
Despite a cascade of injuries in the ranks of the Bills’ receiving corps, Amari Cooper is struggling to go much beyond 50% snap share since the mid-season trade to Buffalo. In spite of a limited role, Cooper was still peppered with targets, catching 6 of his 14 looks for 95 yards. This week he’ll run against the Lions’ rookie corner, Terrion Arnold. Arnold is not the liability that he was during the middle portion of the year but has started to get back to his pass interfering ways a bit lately.
Jalen CokerCAR$3700 / $4900Trevon DiggsDALNeutral
Week 15 should mark the return of Jalen Coker to the Panthers’ offense and mark the first time they’ll have him in their deployment with Xavier Legette and Adam Thielen. Projecting Coker to take the left side of the formation, he’ll face Trevon Diggs of the Cowboys. Diggs missed the last couple of games but prior to that absence was a tough out but not quite to the extent we’ve seen in years past.
DJ MooreCHI$5800 / $6500Shaquill GriffinMINNeutral
Just as we were about to move Shaquill Griffin into the ranks of the “Downgrade,” he went and put up a stinker last week, allowing 4 catches for 101 yards against a Falcons team that was generally struggling to keep pace. This week he’ll face DJ Moore in their rematch against the Bears. Last go-round, Stephon Gillmore was covering Moore so we don’t have a recent reference point but generally I’d log this one as a “Neutral” matchup overall.
Ja'Marr ChaseCIN$8400 / $9400Darrell Baker Jr.TENNeutral
This matchups features two players who have been very consistent this season. Ja'Marr Chase is routinely torching secondaries and post WR1 performances while Darrell Baker Jr. continues to be very stingy with his yardage but finds himself on the wrong side of touchdown variance. Baker’s ability to eliminate YAC is the secret to his success, holding his opponents to 6 yards after catch in all but 1 game this season. Chase still has a clear edge here, but its been a nice season for Baker Jr.
Michael WoodsCLE$3200 / $4600Joshua WilliamsKCNeutral
Michael Woods will draw his 2nd start of the season this week with Cedric Tillman once again ruled out. Woods was quiet in last week's start, catching 1 pass for 12 yards and will face another reservist this week, Joshua Williams of the Chiefs. Williams has been in and out of the lineup this season and playing at a replacement level overall, but has strung together a couple of nice outings in the last 2 weeks.
Brandin CooksDAL$4700 / $5700Jaycee HornCARDowngrade
We’ll have to keep an ear to the ground on this one as a groin injury has limited Jaycee Horn in practice all week but coach Dave Canales had an optimistic sentiment at his last update. Assuming he goes, Horn will be assigned to cover Brandin Cooks of the Cowboys. Cooks is in the midst of a touchdown streak in the 2 games since returning from IR but Horn should have little difficulty slowing the veteran receiver.
Courtland SuttonDEN$6600 / $7200Jaylon JonesINDUpgrade
Courtland Sutton continues his campaign to be one of the fantasy MVPs this season and this week finds himself in a nice spot against Jaylon Jones of the Colts. The peripheral stats don’t look outrageous for Jones, with a 65% catch rate and about 14 yards per reception, but when you string it all together Jones sits 7th on the yards-allowed list with 584 for the season.
Nico CollinsHOU$8100 / $9200Kendall FullerMIANeutral
Nico Collins and the Texans return from bye with the aim of building some momentum before the season. He’ll face a full-strength Dolphins secondary this week with an individual matchup against Kendall Fuller. Fuller returned from his most recent absence last week and was immediately rung up for 7 catches and 60 yards against the Jets. Fuller has been better on the season as a whole but not to the extent where you should expect him to limit Collins.
Alec PierceIND$4800 / $5900Levi WallaceDENUpgrade
An injury to Riley Moss will once again elevate Levi Wallace to a starting role this week, where he’ll be assigned to cover Alec Pierce of the Colts. Pierce has prospered in games with Anthony Richardson under center and should do well in this plus matchup against Wallace, who gave up 154 yards and 2 scores last week alone.
Parker WashingtonJAC$4100 / $5500Qwan'tez StiggersNYJUpgrade
Sauce Gardner hasn’t shadowed much this season but without DJ Reed on the opposite side of the formation I’d expect he lines up against Brian Thomas This leaves Parker Washington in the coverage of Qwan'tez Stiggers, a rookie 5th-rounder with only 8 coverage snaps to his name. He’s only seen 2 targets in that limited playing time but allowed both of them to be hauled in so we’ll give him our typical rookie corner treatment.
DeAndre HopkinsKC$5300 / $6500Martin Emerson Jr.CLEUpgrade
DeAndre Hopkins found the end zone again last week and continues to establish himself as a solid WR2 play in his tenure as a Chief. This week he’ll draw coverage from Martin Emerson Jr. of the Browns who has been one of the more favorable matchups on the board this year. Emerson is allowing over 2.1 fantasy points per target this season and is the Browns’ most heavily-targeted corner by far.
Tre TuckerLV$4100 / $5400A.J. TerrellATLDowngrade
Tre Tucker is clearly the 3rd banana in the Raiders’ passing attack and finds himself in a tough spot this week, running in the coverage of A.J. Terrell. Terrell yet again sports a high catch rate this season at 73.1% but has been near lights out over the last month, allowing just 55 yards over his last 4 games. You likely have better options than Tucker this week.
Quentin JohnstonLAC$5000 / $5900Jamel DeanTBNeutral
Quentin Johnston got back on track last week, catching 5 of 7 passes for 48 yards and a score. This week he’ll be the assignment of the Buc’s Jamel Dean. Week 15 will mark Dean’s 3rd game back from injury and since returning his 10 catches for 105 yards puts him right in-line with the league average.
Jaylen WaddleMIA$5700 / $6200Kamari LassiterHOUNeutral
Jaylen Waddle continues his late-season surge, having amassed over 40% of his season total in fantasy points over the last 3 games. This week he’s in a pretty typical spot, running against Kamari Lassiter of the Texans. After a rough start to the year, Lassiter has settled in nicely and is proving to be a serviceable defensive back at this level.
Justin JeffersonMIN$8200 / $9500Jaylon JohnsonCHIDowngrade
This is your weekly reminder that even a downgraded matchup should not remove top-flight players from fantasy consideration. Justin Jefferson draws a very difficult assignment in Jaylon Johnson of the Bears, who hasn’t allowed more than 2 catches in any game this year and effectively slowed Jefferson when they faced off a few weeks ago. Johnson is categorically one of the toughest outs in the league this year but Jefferson certainly has the skills to overcome.
Kayshon BoutteNE$3500 / $5000Starling Thomas VARINeutral
Unless you’re trying to corner the market on 5 to 8 point fantasy performances, I can’t see why you’d be considering Kayshon Boutte. This week he draws Starling Thomas V, who is having a solid year by most accounts but still falls into the “Neutral” category overall.
Kevin AustinNO$3200 / $4700Marshon LattimoreWASDowngrade
The Saints mash unit at receiver has recently resorted to pulling Kevin Austin Jr off the Jaguars’ scrap heap and lining him up to the left side of the offense. This week that means he gets to be the welcoming committee as Marshon Lattimore makes his debut for the Commanders. Prior to an extended injury absence, Lattimore was one of the more difficult matchups in the league this season
Darius SlaytonNYG$4100 / $5100Brandon StephensBALNeutral
It’s not entirely clear who will be starting under center for the Giants and directing passes toward Darius Slayton but whoever it is will be a liability on offense. A liability is largely how we’ve categorized Brandon Stephens this season but the veteran corner has started to tighten the clamps of late. Prior to the Ravens’ Week 14 bye, Stephens posted back to back games with less than 20 receiving yards and isn’t drawing the target volume he was earlier in the season.
Garrett WilsonNYJ$6500 / $7400Tyson CampbellJACNeutral
Despite the Jets’ 2024 season feeling rutterless, Garett Wilson continues to deliver solid fantasy production in the midst of the chaos. Speaking of rutterless, this week he’ll run into a Jaguars secondary that has been getting exposed down the stretch run. He’ll face the capable of their available corners, Tyson Campbell, but that doesn’t mean we’d expect a down performance out of Wilson.
A.J. BrownPHI$8000 / $8600Joey PorterPITNeutral
AJ Brown has been doing the squeaky-wheel thing in the media this week in hopes of drawing more targets from Jalen Hurts. What he will definitely draw is a matchup with one of the league’s most-frequent shadowers, Joey Porter Porter has mostly been alternating good performances and bad throughout the season, which nets out to a “Neutral” designation in this one.
Mike WilliamsPIT$3800 / $5300Quinyon MitchellPHIDowngrade
Last week Mike Williams stepped into George Pickens’ spot on the left side of the formation and posted 3 catches for 36 yards. This week that means he’ll run in the coverage of the Eagles’ standout rookie corner, Quinyon Mitchell. Since returning from a Week 5 bye, Mitchell has been locking down his assignments and doesn’t have a single game allowing more than 26 receiving yards. Williams should be avoided this week.
Tyler LockettSEA$4000 / $5500Carrington ValentineGBNeutral
Nothing is going right for Tyler Lockett in the Seahawks passing offense recently. Geno Smith’s passing volume has started to decline and he isn’t looking in Lockett’s direction at a rate that would instill confidence. This week Lockett draws a matchup against Carrington Valentine, who has been in and out of the Packers’ lineup but has played well when he’s out there. He’d be a downgrade if we had a larger sample of him sustaining his high-level performance.
Mike EvansTB$7100 / $8300Kristian FultonLACNeutral
Mike Evans continues to operate as the last man standing in the Buccaneers’ receiving corps but hopefully Jalen McMillan’s spike week against the Raiders will keep opposing defenses honest. This week Evans will see coverage from Kristian Fulton who has put together a solid season overall but has a bit of a track record of getting bodied by bigger receivers. Fulton is firmly a “Neutral” matchup but stylistically Evans has an edge.
Nick Westbrook-Ikhine-IkhineTEN$4900 / $5800Cam Taylor-BrittCINUpgrade
Nick Westbrook-Ikhinee-Ikhine narrowly missed an end zone target that would have extended his unprecedented touchdown streak. He’s got a great opportunity to get back into the box in Week 15, running the majority of his routes against Cam Taylor-Britt. Taylor-Britt is among the league-leaders with 669 yards allowed and his 10 touchdowns are the most in the NFL by a healthy margin.
Terry McLaurinWAS$7200 / $8200Kool-Aid McKinstryNOUpgrade
Terry McClaurin continues to be the most-reliable piece of the Commanders’ pass-catching options and he’s in a plus matchup this week. He draws Kool-Aid McKinstry, the Saints’ rookie who has been starting for the last 4 games. Over that span he’s allowed 10 catches for 170 yards and will have his work cutout for him if he aims to slow McClaurin.
      
Right WR vs Left CB
Wide ReceiverTeamDraftKings/FanDuelCornerbackOppMatchup
Michael WilsonARI$4400 / $5400Jonathan JonesNEUpgrade
Michael Wilson generally isn’t doing enough to warrant fantasy consideration but he draws the best of the Patriots matchups this week, running in the coverage of Jonathan Jones. Jones carries a catch rate and a yards per catch average that are among the worst in the league but doesn’t get targeted enough to post notable counting stats.
Drake LondonATL$6400 / $7500Jack JonesLVUpgrade
Drake London and the Falcons' passing game is eager to put last week behind them and they’ve got an excellent spot to do just that against the Raiders this week. London will draw coverage from Jack Jones, a middle-of-the-road corner who has been getting exposed as of late. Jones has given up 239 yards and 4 scores over his last 5 games and will struggle to keep a player of London’s caliber down in Week 15.
Zay FlowersBAL$6000 / $7300Adoree' JacksonNYGUpgrade
One of our long-standing punching bags, Adoree' Jackson of the Giants, is back in rotation and up to his old tricks. In 2 games seeing significant coverage snaps, Jackson already has a touchdown to his name and more than 80% of his yards have come after the catch. This week he’ll be assigned to cover Zay Flowers and I’d expected him to continue to struggle to slow his opponent.
Keon ColemanBUF$4800 / $5400Carlton Davis IIIDETNeutral
Keon Coleman is expected to make his return from a wrist injury that has caused him to miss several games down the stretch. He’ll draw coverage from Carlton Davis III in what projects to be a shootout gamescript against the Lions. Davis appears to have left his pass-interfering ways behind him and settled into a difficult brand of coverage for the majority of the season. At least until last week when he was battered for 120 yards and a score on 4 catches. We’ll give him a mulligan and keep him in the “Neutral” category for now.
Xavier LegetteCAR$4700 / $5500DaRon BlandDALNeutral
The Week 15 matchup between the Panthers and the Cowboys actually has some scoring appeal to it and much of that has to do with the receiving yards that Dallas has been surrendering of late. Surprisingly enough much of that has come from DaRon Bland, who made his season debut 3 games ago and has proceeded to allow 15 catches for 144 yards and 2 touchdowns. Xavier Legette get the benefit of this matchup and should be moved up the rankings because of it.
Rome OdunzeCHI$5300 / $5700Fabian MoreauTENNeutral
Despite being peppered with 10 targets, Rome Odunze had a bit of a quiet outing when he faced the Vikings in Week 12. He gets a bit of a boost this time around as its no longer Stephon Gilmore patrolling the secondary but converted safety Fabian Moreau. Moreau has logged 2 starts recently and has held his own but simply does not have the athleticism to bottle up a player of Odunze’s size and speed.
Tee HigginsCIN$6800 / $7800Chidobe AwuzieTENDowngrade
Chidobe Awuzie was off to a strong start this year before an injury sidelined him until last week. He picked up right where he left off in his return, allowing no catches on 1 target against the Jaguars. This week he’ll be assigned to cover Tee Higgins, one of the most consistent receiving options in fantasy. At least until his rough outing in Week 14 against the Cowboys. We’ll give Higgins a pass but this matchup is categorically tough.
Jerry JeudyCLE$6200 / $6900Trent McDuffieKCNeutral
Over the last handful of weeks, Jerry Jeudy has been showcasing why he was a 1st round pick a few years ago. He’s averaging nearly 25 fantasy points per game over his last 4 and will once again be the primary option for Jameis Winston with Cedric Tillman sidelined. This means he’ll see coverage from Trent McDuffie, the best corner on the Chiefs but a player who is closer to league-average than anything else.
Jalen TolbertDAL$3900 / $5200Mike JacksonCARUpgrade
There have been a few times since the return of Brandin Cooks where Jalen Tolbert has drawn the more-favorable coverage in a game, as he will again this week against Mike Jackson. Unfortunately he hasn’t been able to do much of anything in those plus spots and the return of Cooks has marked the return to irrelevance for Tolbert.
Lil'Jordan HumphreyDEN$3000 / $4800Samuel Womack IIIINDDowngrade
I can’t foresee a scenario where anyone is actually considering Lil’Jordan Humphrey in a fantasy context but if you somehow were, his matchup against Samuel Womack III should steer you elsewhere. Apart from a pair of 60+ yard performances near the middle of the season, Womack has been lights out in coverage.
Tank DellHOU$5400 / $6100Jalen RamseyMIANeutral
Jalen Ramsey posted his worst outing of the season last week, getting run up for a season-high 6 catches for another season-high 146 yards. While these are the low points of his season, he hasn’t exactly been playing to his lofty expectations this year. He’ll be assigned to cover another player who the same could be said about, Tank Dell of the Texans. All and all, this looks to be a pretty fair fight.
Michael PittmanIND#N/APat SurtainDENDowngrade
Michael Pittman, who is in the midst of a down season by any measure, will struggle to get things back on track in Week 15 as he’s set to face Pat Surtain of Denver. Surtain hasn’t been shadowing quite as often as he has historically but still registers the 4th-highest rate in the league this year. His 17.8 receiving yards allowed per game doesn’t leave much meat on the bone for Pittman, who is averaging just over 45 yards per game.
Brian ThomasJAC$5800 / $6800Sauce GardnerNYJDowngrade
Sauce Gardner hasn’t shadowed much this season but without DJ Reed on the opposite side of the formation I’d expect he lines up against Brian Thomas Thomas has done a nice job of generating decent fantasy points in spite of his circumstance but this matchup might be a bit too much to overcome. Gardner has 8 games allowing 10 yards or fewer and has allowed just 41 yards combined in the games he has shadowed this season.
Xavier WorthyKC$5100 / $6000Denzel WardCLEDowngrade
Xavier Worthy’s alignment on the right side of the offensive formation will this week place him in the coverage of Denzel Ward. Ward is easily the toughest matchup available in the Browns’ secondary but has been alternating good and bad performances of late. He’s held opponents under 11 receiving yards in 4 of his last 7 but has surrendered a combined 230 yards and 2 scores in the other 3. Ward’s veteran savvy should pay dividends in this spot and I’ll continue to give him credit for his body of work
Jakobi MeyersLV$5700 / $6700Mike HughesATLNeutral
Jakobi Meyers continues to truck along with solid fantasy performance after solid fantasy performance this year, in spite of a revolving door of sub-par quarterback play. This week he’ll draw coverage from Mike Hughes of the Falcons. Hughes is near replacement level by almost any measure but he has 2 touchdowns over the last 3 games might indicate the emergence of a trend.
Joshua PalmerLAC$4600 / $5500Zyon McCollumTBNeutral
Joshua Palmer exploded in Week 14… at least by his standard. He turned in a 6 for 78 effort and narrowly missed a new season high for fantasy production. This week he’ll see coverage from Zyon McCollum of the Buccaneers. McCollum looked to be stabilizing a bit recently but backslid with a 5 for 65 performance last time out. The potential return of Ladd McConkey will have a far bigger impact on Palmer than his individual matchup this week.
Tyreek HillMIA$7400 / $8700Derek StingleyHOUDowngrade
I get to lean on my prize fight analogy 2 weeks in a row with regard to Tyreek Hill! This week he’s set to square off with Derek Stingley of the Texans. Stingley let a 56 yarder get behind him last week, which accounted for the majority of his 66 yards in that game. In the previous 5 games, Stingley had allowed a combined 59 yards and didn’t have a single outing of more than 27. Hill obviously has the wheels to burn past anyone but this is unquestionably a tough spot for the All-Pro.
Jordan AddisonMIN$5900 / $6400Tyrique StevensonCHINeutral
The meteoric rise of Jordan Addison is undeniable at this point. The 2nd-year receiver showed yet again last week that he is on the short list of players who can lead his position in scoring with a 8/133/3 line against the Falcons. His matchup in Week 15 isn’t quite as favorable as the one he torched last week but Tyrique Stevenson is seeing a lot of targets as teams avoid throwing toward Jaylon Johnson. Addison did go off for a 30-burger in this matchup a few weeks ago but on the whole Stevenson is closer to a “Neutral” matchup for the year.
Kendrick BourneNE$3600 / $5000Sean Murphy-BuntingARINeutral
Why you might be speculating in the Patriots’ receiver room is beyond me. If you happen to be doing so with Kendrick Bourne this week, he’ll face the coverage of Sean Murphy-Bunting. Murphy-Bunting is pretty middle-of-the-road overall but has tightened up his coverage recently, holding opponents to 10 or less in 3 of his last 5 with an average of just 19.4 yards per game over that span.
Marquez Valdes-ScantlingNO$4500 / $5700Benjamin St-JusteWASNeutral
Benjamin St-Juste continues to play at a “slightly worse than average” rate down the stretch for the Commanders. Speaking of below-average, this week he’ll face off with Marquez Valdes-Scantling of the Saints. Unless you’re firing in best-ball formats MVS is best left on the sidelines, even if he’s getting a slight upgrade with his matchup.
Malik NabersNYG$6400 / $8000Nate WigginsBALNeutral
The downturn of Malik Nabers’ breakout rookie campaign has little to do with his play as an individual. Much like our practice of targeting the Ravens’ secondary had little to do with the play of Nate Wiggins. Wiggins will be assigned to cover Nabers this week and has done a very nice job to hold his opponents to a 51.1% catch rate for the season. His yards per catch sitting at 13.5 balances out that strength and makes Wiggins a “Neutral” spot overall.
Davante AdamsNYJ$6900 / $7900Montaric BrownJACNeutral
Davante Adams had his best game as a Jet last week, posting 9 catches for 109 yards and a touchdown against the Dolphins. He’ll run on even more fertile ground this week against Jacksonville, where he’ll see a lot of Montaric Brown. Brown is no longer the liability he once was but there’s still plenty of recent tape that shows Brown being beat handily by above-average receivers. This is a nice spot for Adams, even though it's technically not an “Upgrade.”
Jahan DotsonPHI$3300 / $4700Donte JacksonPITNeutral
If you’re still out there considering firing up Jahan Dotson, I don’t think I can help you. This week he’ll face coverage from Donte Jackson of the Steelers who has been really clamping down on yardage recently, allowing under 20 per game over the course of his last 5. He’s also allowed 2 touchdowns in that stretch, keeping him in the “Neutral” camp.
Van JeffersonPIT$3500 / $5000Darius SlayPHIDowngrade
Seeing Van Jefferson catch a touchdown in the Steelers 1st game without George Pickens might seem promising but it is anything but when it is contextualized with that being his only target of the game. This week he’ll see coverage from a rejuvenated Darius Slay. Maybe its the high-tide of this Eagles’ secondary raising all ships but Slay has posting stingy catch rate numbers down the stretch, including a 2 of 11 outing last week.
DK MetcalfSEA$6000 / $7600Keisean NixonGBNeutral
DK Metcalf fading down the stretch has been one of the more disappointing results in fantasy football this year. This week he’s got a decent shot at getting back on track, running against Keisean Nixon of the Packers. Nixon has done a nice job holding opponents to just 9 yards per catch this year but his high catch rate will give DK a chance to use his size and speed advantage to create yards after catch. Nixon’s 5 touchdowns in his last 6 games offer some appealing upside as well.
Jalen McMillanTB$3700 / $5500Tarheeb StillLACNeutral
There isn’t much of note about Tarheeb Still’s run of the mill season so I’ll take this as a chance to give Jalen McMillan his flowers. The Buc’s rookie 3rd rounder exploded for 2 scores last week in his first big performance as a pro. It's hard to project that type of outing to repeat but his matchup won’t slow him down in that pursuit.
Calvin RidleyTEN$5900 / $6000Josh NewtonCINNeutral
Calvin Ridley has been about as steady as they come this year and is in a nice spot this week, running against Josh Newton of the Bengals. Newton has been called into the starting lineup for the last 3 games and has posted mixed results. His catch rate leaves room to be desired and last week brought his best yardage game overall but also saw him give up his 1st touchdown of the season.
Noah BrownWAS$4200 / $5200Alontae TaylorNOUpgrade
Noah Brown couldn’t ask for a better spot than the one he drew in Week 15. He’ll run in the coverage of Alontae Taylor, the NFL’s leader in yards allowed at a whopping 807. He’s also tops with 87 targets and 62 catches this year, making him one of the clearest floor-raisers in the league. Brown has been hit or miss this year but I like his chances to spike in this matchup.
      
Slot WR vs Slot CB (UPGRADES)
Wide ReceiverTeamDraftKings/FanDuelCornerbackOppMatchup
Jaxon Smith-NjigbaSEA$6300 / $8100Javon BullardGBUpgrade
The injury-induced merry-go-round of the Packers’ secondary creates a nice spot for Jaxon Smith-Njigba this week. Green Bay is going to move Javon Bullard over from safety to man the slot and he brings with him an 80% catch rate and a propensity to give up yards after contact. JSN is the lone bright spot in this passing game and he gets a boost with this matchup.
Adam ThielenCAR$5400 / $6100Jourdan LewisDALUpgrade
Part of the late-season resurgence we’ve seen from Adam Thielen is the favorable matchups he sees by running out of the slot on 77% of his snaps, the 6th-highest rate in the league. This week that plus matchup is against Jourdan Lewis of the Cowboys. Yes, it's fair to say that Diggs and Bland aren’t playing up to their standards this season but on reputation alone they’re creating a funnel over the middle of the field when they’re out there. Lewis has seen 15 targets since Bland’s return and has allowed 151 yards over that span. Bryce Young’s new favorite weapon should thrive here.
