Welcome to the Match-up Report. It is a one-stop-shop for getting key info on every match-up for the week and exactly where the strengths and weaknesses are for each team. Exploiting those weaknesses are how you can dominate your season-long and DFS contests throughout the year. Below you will see a key that explains what each stat abbreviation is and what it is meant to show along with what the rankings mean. You will also see an explanation of the color-coding that is included in each match-up breakdown. The ranks are based on games to this point and you will see them change throughout the weeks as they play more games and have more differences in outcomes. Every few weeks we will have a trends section as well to see who’s moving up and who’s moving down in some key categories.

New this year is the color-coding to the match-up breakdowns. The color-coding is based on an offensive point of view so when you see red or orange that means the opposing offenses have had trouble in those areas. The green and yellowish-green that you see show that offensive units have done well in those categories.
