Fantasy Football Week 10 WR/CB Matchup Report

Left Wide Receiver (LWR) vs. Right Cornerback (RCB)

Each team's outside receiver on the left side of the formation against the opponent's right cornerback.

Drake London (ATL)

vs. Mansoor Delane (KC)   •   Matchup: Moderate

London has 44 catches on 68 targets for 692 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 5 of 5 targets for 68 yards in the Madrid game against Cincinnati. Delane's 77.4 coverage grade ranks among the league's best, so this is a real test. Kansas City's pass defense ranks 16th overall and 2nd in DVOA against No. 1 receivers, one of the toughest marks in the league. Atlanta is a 3-point home underdog with a 46.5 total, which should keep the Falcons throwing. He's a high-end WR2 with a lower ceiling than usual.

Keon Coleman (BUF)

vs. Brandon Stephens (NYJ)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Coleman has 23 catches on 33 targets for 304 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he caught 3 of 6 targets for 17 yards last week. Stephens' 69.5 coverage grade is a fair test. The Jets' pass defense ranks 26th overall and 29th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers, one of the most generous marks in the league. Buffalo is an 8.5-point road favorite with a 50.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. He's a boom-or-bust flex.

Tetairoa McMillan (CAR)

vs. Quincy Riley (NO)   •   Matchup: Safe

McMillan has 46 catches on 71 targets for 625 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he caught 4 of 6 targets for 56 yards and a score last week. Riley's 56.6 coverage grade is a soft matchup. New Orleans' pass defense ranks 29th overall and 30th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers, one of the most generous marks in the league. Carolina is a 2.5-point road underdog with a 48.5 total, which should keep the targets coming. Start him as a WR2.

Ja'Marr Chase (CIN)

vs. Jamel Dean (PIT)   •   Matchup: Safe

Chase is a top-two receiver on several boards this week, with 53 catches on 73 targets for 647 yards and 7 touchdowns, and he caught 10 of 12 targets for 155 yards and a score in the Madrid game against Atlanta. Dean's 73.9 coverage grade is a legitimate test, and it hasn't slowed Chase all year. Pittsburgh's pass defense ranks 11th overall and 3rd in DVOA against No. 1 receivers, one of the toughest marks in the league. Cincinnati is a 3.5-point home favorite on Sunday night with a 49.5 total. Start him with total confidence.

Denzel Boston (CLE)

vs. Kamari Lassiter (HOU)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Boston has 32 catches on 61 targets for 507 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he caught 6 of 8 targets for 98 yards in the overtime loss at New Orleans, including a 60-yard catch from Shedeur Sanders. He's dealing with a toe injury and was out of Thursday's practice, and Deshaun Watson returns at quarterback. Lassiter's 54.6 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Houston's pass defense ranks 13th overall and 29th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers, one of the most generous marks in the league. Cleveland is a 4.5-point home underdog with a 40.5 total. Check the final report.

George Pickens (DAL)

vs. Deommodore Lenoir (SF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Pickens has 39 catches on 62 targets for 533 yards and 2 touchdowns, but he missed last week's game with a hamstring strain and began practicing again Wednesday. The Cowboys clearly missed him, and head coach Brian Schottenheimer sounded encouraged. Lenoir's 63.5 coverage grade is a fair matchup, and Lenoir (foot) didn't practice Wednesday. San Francisco's pass defense ranks 10th overall and 10th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. Dallas is a 3.5-point home underdog with the highest total on the slate at 55.5. Check the final report.

Christian Watson (GB)

vs. Byron Murphy Jr. (MIN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Watson is a top-10 receiver on most boards, with 49 catches on 74 targets for 879 yards and 7 touchdowns, and he caught 7 of 8 targets for 171 yards and a score last week. Murphy's 76.5 coverage grade is among the best in the league. Minnesota's pass defense ranks 2nd overall and 5th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers, one of the toughest marks in the league. Green Bay is a 3-point home favorite with a 41.5 total. Start him, with a slightly lower ceiling than usual.

Nico Collins (HOU)

vs. Tyson Campbell (CLE)   •   Matchup: Safe

Collins has 28 catches on 39 targets for 384 yards and 4 touchdowns in six games, and he scored on 4 targets for 55 yards in the win over the Chargers. His target share isn't what it used to be with Tank Dell emerging, but he's still the player C.J. Stroud trusts in the red zone. Campbell's 71.0 coverage grade is a fair test. Cleveland's pass defense ranks 9th overall and 13th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. Houston is a 4.5-point road favorite with a 40.5 total. Start him.

Brian Thomas (JAX)

vs. Joshua Williams (TEN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Thomas has 10 catches on 22 targets for 117 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he wasn't targeted last week. He has been losing snaps to Parker Washington and Jakobi Meyers. Williams' 39.6 coverage grade is one of the weakest in the league, but the role isn't there. Tennessee's pass defense ranks 32nd overall and 32nd in DVOA against No. 3 receivers, one of the most generous marks in the league. Jacksonville is a 10.5-point road favorite with a 46.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. He's a touchdown-dependent dart.

Xavier Worthy (KC)

vs. A.J. Terrell Jr. (ATL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Worthy has 33 catches on 47 targets for 278 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 6 of 6 targets for 48 yards in the win over the Jets. He's listed with a hamstring injury but was a full participant Wednesday, and Josh Downs now joins the receiver room. Terrell's 43.2 coverage grade is one of the weakest in the league. Atlanta's pass defense ranks 8th overall and 25th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. Kansas City is a 3-point road favorite with a 46.5 total. He's a WR3.

Quentin Johnston (LAC)

vs. Nate Wiggins (BAL)   •   Matchup: Risky

Johnston has 13 catches on 30 targets for 260 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 1 of 4 targets for 58 yards and a score against Houston. Wiggins' 60.1 coverage grade is a fair matchup, and the Ravens have allowed an outside receiver to gain 60 or more yards in every game. Baltimore's pass defense ranks 17th overall and 24th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. Los Angeles is a 4.5-point road underdog on Monday night with a 38.5 total, the lowest on the slate. He's a boom-or-bust dart.

Tutu Atwell (LAR)

vs. Denzel Burke (ARI)   •   Matchup: Risky

With Puka Nacua headed to injured reserve with an MCL and PCL sprain and Davante Adams not due back until Week 13 at the earliest, Atwell is one of the starters left in Los Angeles. He has 7 catches on 13 targets for 99 yards and caught 2 of 5 targets for 16 yards last week. Burke's 63.7 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Arizona's pass defense ranks 31st overall and 30th in DVOA against No. 3 receivers, one of the most generous marks in the league. Los Angeles is a 9.5-point road favorite with a 39.5 total, the second-lowest on the slate. He's a deep dart.

Jalen Nailor (LV)

vs. Josh Jobe (SEA)   •   Matchup: Risky

Nailor has 14 catches on 28 targets for 122 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 2 of 4 targets for 9 yards last week. Fernando Mendoza makes his first NFL start after the Raiders traded Kirk Cousins to Minnesota. Jobe's 50.2 coverage grade is a soft matchup, but this is a tough spot for a rookie. Seattle's pass defense ranks 3rd overall and 6th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers, one of the toughest marks in the league. Las Vegas is a 6.5-point home underdog with a 40.5 total. He's a deep dart.

Justin Jefferson (MIN)

vs. Brandon Cisse (GB)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Jefferson has 31 catches on 51 targets for 393 yards and 4 touchdowns, and he caught 3 of 11 targets for 58 yards in the loss to Buffalo with Carson Wentz throwing him the ball. Minnesota then traded for Kirk Cousins, who was Jefferson's quarterback during his best season, though coach Kevin O'Connell hadn't officially named him the starter. Cisse's 65.2 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Green Bay's pass defense ranks 4th overall and 4th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers, one of the toughest marks in the league. Minnesota is a 3-point road underdog with a 41.5 total. He's a WR2 with a rising ceiling.

A.J. Brown (NE)

vs. D.J. Reed (DET)   •   Matchup: Risky

Brown has 9 catches on 20 targets for 101 yards in three games, and he's dealing with a knee and ankle injury that has kept him out of two straight games. He's traveling to Munich with the team and was limited early in the week, but his status is uncertain. Reed's 76.8 coverage grade makes this a tough draw. Detroit's pass defense ranks 24th overall and 23rd in DVOA against No. 3 receivers. The game is in Munich with Detroit a 2.5-point favorite and a 51.5 total. Check the final report.

Chris Olave (NO)

vs. Will Lee III (CAR)   •   Matchup: Safe

Olave is a top-five receiver on several boards, with 56 catches on 83 targets for 734 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he caught 7 of 12 targets for 98 yards in the overtime win over Cleveland. Lee's 58.6 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Carolina's pass defense ranks 25th overall and 21st in DVOA against No. 1 receivers. New Orleans is a 2.5-point home favorite with a 48.5 total. Start him.

Malik Nabers (NYG)

vs. Amik Robertson (WAS)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Nabers has 53 catches on 78 targets for 648 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he caught 5 of 8 targets for 43 yards in his last game. He's a full participant despite a knee issue on the report, and J.J. McCarthy (hip) is also ready. Robertson's 71.9 coverage grade is a real test, and Robertson (ankle) was also a full participant. Washington's pass defense ranks 22nd overall and 18th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers. New York is a 2.5-point home favorite on Thursday night with a 40.5 total. He's a WR1 with a lower ceiling than usual.

Adonai Mitchell (NYJ)

vs. Davison Igbinosun (BUF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Mitchell has 16 catches on 34 targets for 265 yards and a touchdown, and he was blanked on 7 targets in the 35-12 loss at Kansas City. With Garrett Wilson (concussion) limited and Omar Cooper Jr. (ankle) also limited, Mitchell could be the No. 1 receiver in his volatile downfield role. Igbinosun's 55.6 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Buffalo's pass defense ranks 14th overall and 11th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. New York is an 8.5-point home underdog with a 50.5 total, which means pass volume. He's a boom-or-bust WR3.

DK Metcalf (PIT)

vs. DJ Turner II (CIN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Metcalf has 33 catches on 64 targets for 378 yards and a touchdown, and he has scored fewer than eight fantasy points in three of his last four games before the bye. Turner's 66.4 coverage grade is a fair matchup, but the Bengals have allowed the third-fewest fantasy points to perimeter receivers. Cincinnati's pass defense ranks 20th overall and 26th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers. Pittsburgh is a 3.5-point road underdog on Sunday night with a 49.5 total. He's a touchdown-or-bust WR3.

vs. Darien Porter (LV)   •   Matchup: Safe

Smith-Njigba is the No. 1 receiver in fantasy, with 71 catches on 99 targets for 1,036 yards and 9 touchdowns, and he caught 7 of 10 targets for 51 yards against Arizona. Porter's 44.1 coverage grade is one of the weakest marks in the league. Las Vegas' pass defense ranks 28th overall and 28th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers, one of the most generous marks in the league. Seattle is a 6.5-point road favorite with a 40.5 total, and Drew Lock starts at quarterback. Start him.

vs. Greg Newsome II (NYG)   •   Matchup: Risky

Williams has 26 catches on 39 targets for 284 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 3 of 6 targets for 25 yards against the Rams. With Terry McLaurin out for the season and Dyami Brown (calf) ruled out, he's a regular in the rotation next to Stefon Diggs. Newsome's 74.2 coverage grade is a real test. The Giants' pass defense ranks 19th overall and 8th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. Washington is a 2.5-point road underdog on Thursday night with a 40.5 total. He's a deep flex.

Right Wide Receiver (RWR) vs. Left Cornerback (LCB)

Each team's outside receiver on the right side of the formation against the opponent's left cornerback.

Jahan Dotson (ATL)

vs. Nohl Williams (KC)   •   Matchup: Risky

He's a deep flex.

vs. Donte Jackson (LAC)   •   Matchup: Risky

Bateman has 20 catches on 31 targets for 294 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 1 of 2 targets for 6 yards in his last game. Baltimore is expected to start Jacoby Brissett, acquired from Arizona at the deadline, with Lamar Jackson still sidelined. Donte Jackson's 38.8 coverage grade is one of the weakest in the league, but Bateman's role is limited. Los Angeles Chargers' pass defense ranks 18th overall and 12th in DVOA against No. 2 receivers. Baltimore is a 4.5-point home favorite on Monday night with a 38.5 total, the lowest on the slate. He's a bench candidate.

Cincinnati is a 3.5-point home favorite on Sunday night with a 49.5 total. Start him.

Jerry Jeudy (CLE)

vs. Derek Stingley (HOU)   •   Matchup: Risky

Jeudy has 18 catches on 28 targets for 208 yards and no touchdowns, and he caught 2 of 4 targets for 37 yards in the overtime loss at New Orleans. Stingley's 65.3 coverage grade understates a corner many consider elite. Houston's pass defense ranks 13th overall and 26th in DVOA against No. 3 receivers. Cleveland is a 4.5-point home underdog with a 40.5 total. He's a bench candidate.

vs. Isaiah Rodgers (MIN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Golden has 53 catches on 92 targets for 783 yards and 5 touchdowns, and he caught all 10 of his targets for 164 yards and a score last week. Rodgers' 77.6 coverage grade is among the best in the league, so this is a real test. Minnesota's pass defense ranks 2nd overall and 20th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers. Green Bay is a 3-point home favorite with a 41.5 total. He's a strong WR2.

Marvin Harrison (HOU)

vs. Denzel Ward (CLE)   •   Matchup: Risky

Harrison has 11 catches on 24 targets for 145 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he caught 2 of 3 targets for 20 yards against the Chargers.

Atlanta's pass defense ranks 8th overall and 21st in DVOA against No. 3 receivers. Kansas City is a 3-point road favorite with a 46.5 total. Start him.

vs. Marlon Humphrey (BAL)   •   Matchup: Risky

vs. Devon Witherspoon (SEA)   •   Matchup: Risky

Tucker has 33 catches on 56 targets for 529 yards and 4 touchdowns, and he caught 4 of 8 targets for 55 yards in his last game.

Las Vegas is a 6.5-point home underdog with a 40.5 total. He's a bench candidate.

vs. Keisean Nixon (GB)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Addison has 18 catches on 36 targets for 277 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 2 of 3 targets for 28 yards in the loss to Buffalo.

Green Bay's pass defense ranks 4th overall and 2nd in DVOA against No. 2 receivers, one of the toughest marks in the league. Minnesota is a 3-point road underdog with a 41.5 total. He's a WR3.

Jordyn Tyson (NO)

vs. Chau Smith-Wade (CAR)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Tyson returned from injured reserve last week and caught 4 of 5 targets for 30 yards, and Saints coach Kellen Moore said he'll get a healthy dose more snaps on Sunday. Chau Smith-Wade is a young corner who doesn't carry a graded coverage number to lean on. Carolina's pass defense ranks 25th overall and 18th in DVOA against No. 3 receivers. New Orleans is a 2.5-point home favorite with a 48.5 total. He's a WR3 with upside.

vs. Rasul Douglas (WAS)   •   Matchup: Risky

Fields has 19 catches on 35 targets for 288 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 3 of 5 targets for 40 yards last week.

New York is a 2.5-point home favorite on Thursday night with a 40.5 total. He's a deep dart.

Garrett Wilson (NYJ)

vs. Christian Benford (BUF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Wilson has 43 catches on 63 targets for 527 yards and 3 touchdowns, but he missed the loss at Kansas City with a concussion and was limited Wednesday. He's likely to play, though he has to clear the NFL's protocol. Benford's 54.3 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Buffalo's pass defense ranks 14th overall and 27th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers, one of the most generous marks in the league. New York is an 8.5-point home underdog with a 50.5 total, which means pass volume. He's a WR2 if he's cleared.

vs. Travis Hunter (JAX)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Zay Flowers (BAL)

vs. Tarheeb Still (LAC)   •   Matchup: Safe

Flowers has 43 catches on 64 targets for 614 yards and 3 touchdowns, though he caught just 3 of 6 targets for 6 yards in his last game with Baltimore's quarterback room in shambles. Jacoby Brissett is expected to start now, and Flowers is a top-15 receiver on several boards. Still's 67.3 coverage grade is a fair matchup, and the Chargers have allowed a receiver to gain more than 70 yards in three straight games. Los Angeles Chargers' pass defense ranks 18th overall and 24th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers. Baltimore is a 4.5-point home favorite on Monday night with a 38.5 total. Start him.

The Jets' pass defense ranks 26th overall and 7th in DVOA against No. 1 receivers. Buffalo is an 8.5-point road favorite with a 50.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. He's a PPR WR3.

vs. Billy Bowman Jr. (ATL)   •   Matchup: Moderate
