Fantasy Football Week 8 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. Jacob Parrish (TB)   •   Matchup: Moderate

London has 38 catches on 57 targets for 616 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 7 of 10 targets for 66 yards and the score in Atlanta's 29-20 upset of San Francisco. He remains the clear focal point of the offense. Parrish's 76.3 coverage grade is a real test, though London's size and volume travel against anybody. Atlanta is a 2.5-point road underdog with a 44.5 total, which should keep the Falcons throwing. Start him as a WR1 with a slightly lower ceiling than usual.

Rashod Bateman (BAL)

vs. Davison Igbinosun (BUF)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Bateman has 18 catches on 26 targets for 266 yards and a touchdown, and he managed 2 catches for 33 yards on 4 targets last week. Lamar Jackson, out since injuring his ankle in Week 4, is expected to return, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, which helps everyone in this offense. Igbinosun's 48.2 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Baltimore is a 3-point road underdog with a 54.5 total, tied for the highest on the slate. Bateman is a WR3 with some upside.

Keon Coleman (BUF)

vs. Nate Wiggins (BAL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Coleman has 19 catches on 24 targets for 283 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he comes off Buffalo's bye with DJ Moore (shoulder) still questionable. Wiggins' 58.1 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Buffalo is a 3-point home favorite with a 54.5 total, and if Lamar Jackson returns, this should be a shootout. Coleman is a boom-or-bust flex.

Tetairoa McMillan (CAR)

vs. Brandon Cisse (GB)   •   Matchup: Safe

McMillan is the clear No. 1 in Carolina, with 36 catches on 54 targets for 511 yards and 2 touchdowns in six games, and he caught 4 of 6 targets for 40 yards in the 43-13 loss to Tampa Bay. Cisse's 60.0 coverage grade is middling. Carolina is a 3.5-point road underdog on Thursday night with a 47.5 total, so he should see plenty of targets. Start him as a WR2 with WR1 upside.

Rome Odunze (CHI)

vs. Josh Jobe (SEA)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Odunze has been the quietest of Chicago's receivers, with 24 catches on 38 targets for 381 yards and no touchdowns, though he caught 4 of 5 targets for 69 yards in the 30-24 win over New England. Luther Burden has taken over as the top option. Jobe's 54.3 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Chicago is a 3-point road underdog on Monday night with a 46.5 total, which means pass volume. He's a flex with touchdown regression due.

Ja'Marr Chase (CIN)

vs. Joshua Williams (TEN)   •   Matchup: Safe

Chase is a top-four receiver on most boards, with 32 catches on 45 targets for 351 yards and 5 touchdowns in six games, including 5 catches for 62 yards and a score on 7 targets last week. Williams' 62.2 coverage grade is fair, and Tennessee has no one who can stay with him. Cincinnati is a 10-point home favorite with a 46.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. Start him with total confidence.

Denzel Boston (CLE)

vs. Jamel Dean (PIT)   •   Matchup: Risky

Boston is Cleveland's top receiver, with 20 catches on 42 targets for 372 yards and 3 touchdowns, though he managed 3 catches for 27 yards on 8 targets last week while limited by a foot injury. Dean's 79.2 coverage grade is among the best in the league, so this is a tough draw. Cleveland is a 3.5-point road underdog with a 39.5 total, the lowest on the slate. He's a WR3 with a shaky floor.

George Pickens (DAL)

vs. Denzel Burke (ARI)   •   Matchup: Safe

Pickens has 37 catches on 58 targets for 485 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he caught 4 of 6 targets for 57 yards and a score in Dallas' 38-21 win over Philadelphia. Burke's 63.7 coverage grade is a fair matchup against a Cardinals team that has struggled. Dallas is a 7-point home favorite with a 54.5 total, the highest on the slate, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script after the Cowboys ran for 204 yards Monday. Start him as a WR2.

Courtland Sutton (DEN)

vs. Mansoor Delane (KC)   •   Matchup: Risky

Sutton has been one of the most disappointing receivers on the board, with 16 catches on 33 targets for 168 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 3 of 5 for 45 yards in the win over Arizona. Jaylen Waddle (chest) is questionable, which would boost his target share, but Delane's 77.4 coverage grade is among the best in the league. Denver is a 1.5-point home underdog with a 40.5 total, a low-scoring game. He's a risky flex even with Waddle out.

Christian Watson (GB)

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

Watson is the engine of Green Bay's passing game, with 34 catches on 56 targets for 595 yards and 6 touchdowns, and he caught 5 of 8 targets for 57 yards in the 20-17 loss to Detroit. With Matthew Golden (shoulder and foot) not practicing early, Watson could see even more volume. Lee's 64.8 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Green Bay is a 3.5-point home favorite on Thursday night with a 47.5 total. Start him.

Jalen Royals (KC)

vs. Riley Moss (DEN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Royals has been rotating with Andrew Armstrong and Cyrus Allen with Rashee Rice (hamstring and knee) sidelined, and he has just 5 catches on 11 targets for 41 yards and a touchdown. Kansas City's offense scored three points in the loss to Seattle. Moss' 62.7 coverage grade is fair. Kansas City is a 1.5-point road favorite with a 40.5 total. He's a deep dart.

Quentin Johnston (LAC)

vs. Trent McDuffie (LAR)   •   Matchup: Risky

Johnston has 8 catches on 22 targets for 165 yards and no touchdowns, and he comes off the Chargers' bye with the team still winless. Ladd McConkey (concussion) and Tre' Harris (hamstring) are both uncertain, so Johnston should be a big part of the offense, but McDuffie's 88.7 coverage grade is one of the best in the league. Los Angeles is a 6.5-point road underdog with a 45.5 total. He's a deep flex.

Jalen Nailor (LV)

vs. Brandon Stephens (NYJ)   •   Matchup: Risky

Nailor is a depth piece in Las Vegas, with 8 catches on 20 targets for 75 yards, and he caught 2 of 5 targets for 14 yards in the loss to the Rams. Tre Tucker and Cody White get more of the volume. Stephens' 69.1 coverage grade is a legitimate test. Las Vegas is a 1.5-point road underdog with a 45.5 total. Avoid him.

Justin Jefferson (MIN)

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

Jefferson has 23 catches on 31 targets for 302 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he caught 4 of 7 targets for 44 yards in Minnesota's win over Indianapolis. He's had an incredible career against Detroit, with 1,285 receiving yards in 12 meetings, and the Lions rank last in the league in passing yards allowed. Reed's 70.3 coverage grade is solid, but it won't matter. Minnesota is a 3-point road underdog with a 46.5 total, which means pass volume. Start him as a top-10 receiver.

Adonai Mitchell (NYJ)

vs. Hezekiah Masses (LV)   •   Matchup: Risky

Mitchell returned from a four-game finger injury last week and failed to catch any of his three targets, and he has 9 catches on 18 targets for 123 yards on the season. Garrett Wilson and rookie Omar Cooper Jr. have carried the passing game, and Mitchell is the clear third option. Masses' 42.8 coverage grade is a soft matchup. New York is a 1.5-point home favorite with a 45.5 total. He's a deep dart.

Dontayvion Wicks (PHI)

vs. Amik Robertson (WAS)   •   Matchup: Risky

Wicks missed the loss to Dallas with an ankle injury, and he's questionable again after catching 19 of his 32 targets for 284 yards and a touchdown in six games. Philadelphia's offense has been decimated, with Jalen Hurts out for the season and Tanner McKee at quarterback. Robertson's 67.9 coverage grade is a legitimate test. Philadelphia is a 6-point road underdog on Sunday night with a 40.5 total. He's a bench candidate until he practices.

DK Metcalf (PIT)

vs. Tyson Campbell (CLE)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Metcalf has 32 catches on 58 targets for 374 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 2 of 6 targets for 56 yards in Pittsburgh's win over New Orleans in Paris. With Michael Pittman and Roman Wilson on injured reserve, he and Germie Bernard lead the receiver group. Campbell's 67.3 coverage grade is a fair test. Pittsburgh is a 3.5-point home favorite with a 39.5 total, the lowest on the slate. He's a volume-driven WR3.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba (SEA)

vs. Malik Muhammad II (CHI)   •   Matchup: Safe

Smith-Njigba is the No. 1 receiver in fantasy, with 58 catches on 78 targets for 867 yards and 8 touchdowns, and he caught 9 of 12 targets for 150 yards and a score in Seattle's 20-3 win over Kansas City. Rashid Shaheed (knee) is questionable, which would only add to his volume. Muhammad's 52.5 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Seattle is a 3-point home favorite on Monday night with a 46.5 total. Start him.

Ted Hurst (TB)

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

Hurst has 11 catches on 23 targets for 168 yards and a touchdown, and he's the No. 2 receiver for Tampa Bay if Emeka Egbuka (concussion and foot) is unable to play. Terrell's 50.9 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Tampa Bay is a 2.5-point home favorite with a 44.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script after the Buccaneers scored 43 against Carolina. He's a deep flex.

Antonio Williams (WAS)

vs. Quinyon Mitchell (PHI)   •   Matchup: Risky

Williams is the player to know in Washington with Terry McLaurin out for the season with a torn patellar tendon, and Dan Quinn has said he could see more targets. He has 18 catches on 26 targets for 205 yards and a touchdown, and the Commanders return from their bye. Mitchell's 73.2 coverage grade is a real test. Washington is a 6-point home favorite on Sunday night with a 40.5 total, one of the lowest on the slate. 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.

Michael Wilson (ARI)

vs. DaRon Bland (DAL)   •   Matchup: Safe

Wilson is Arizona's clear No. 1 and a top-15 receiver on most boards, with 37 catches on 66 targets for 375 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 4 of 8 targets for 55 yards in the loss to Denver. Bland's 46.2 coverage grade is one of the weakest marks in the league. Arizona is a 7-point road underdog with a 54.5 total, the highest on the slate, which points to a ton of pass attempts. Start him as a WR2.

Jahan Dotson (ATL)

vs. Zyon McCollum (TB)   •   Matchup: Risky

Dotson is Atlanta's No. 2 option, with 12 catches on 26 targets for 242 yards and 2 touchdowns, though he caught just 1 of 3 targets for 6 yards in the win over San Francisco. McCollum's 66.2 coverage grade is a fair test. Atlanta is a 2.5-point road underdog with a 44.5 total. He's a deep flex at best.

DJ Moore (BUF)

vs. Marlon Humphrey (BAL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Moore has 12 catches on 20 targets for 178 yards and a touchdown in four games, and he's still questionable with a shoulder injury after missing Buffalo's last two outings before the bye. Humphrey's 68.3 coverage grade is a legitimate test. Buffalo is a 3-point home favorite with a 54.5 total, tied for the highest on the slate. Start him if he practices fully.

Luther Burden (CHI)

vs. Devon Witherspoon (SEA)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Burden has emerged as Chicago's No. 1 receiver, with 35 catches on 47 targets for 491 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he caught all 4 of his targets for 130 yards and a score in the win over New England. Witherspoon's 73.7 coverage grade is a real test, and he's widely viewed as one of the best corners in the league. Chicago is a 3-point road underdog on Monday night with a 46.5 total. He's a strong WR2 with a lower ceiling than usual.

Tee Higgins (CIN)

vs. Cor'Dale Flott (TEN)   •   Matchup: Safe

Higgins is a top-13 receiver on several boards, with 33 catches on 50 targets for 571 yards and 2 touchdowns in six games, and he caught 6 of 7 targets for 148 yards and a score last week. Flott's 67.0 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Cincinnati is a 10-point home favorite with a 46.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. Start him.

Jerry Jeudy (CLE)

vs. Asante Samuel Jr. (PIT)   •   Matchup: Risky

Jeudy has 16 catches on 23 targets for 171 yards and no touchdowns, though he caught all 4 of his targets for 21 yards last week. Samuel's 56.3 coverage grade is a soft matchup, but Jeudy's role has been minimal behind Denzel Boston and KC Concepcion. Cleveland is a 3.5-point road underdog with a 39.5 total, the lowest on the slate. He's a deep dart.

CeeDee Lamb (DAL)

vs. Max Melton (ARI)   •   Matchup: Safe

Lamb is an elite WR1, with 53 catches on 81 targets for 651 yards and 6 touchdowns, and he caught 5 of 12 targets for 74 yards and 2 scores in the win over Philadelphia. Melton's 56.4 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Dallas is a 7-point home favorite with a 54.5 total, the highest on the slate, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. Start him.

Jaylen Waddle (DEN)

vs. Nohl Williams (KC)   •   Matchup: Risky

Waddle has been a disappointment, with 26 catches on 45 targets for 276 yards and a touchdown, and he's questionable after aggravating a chest injury in the win over Arizona (4 catches for 48 yards on 7 targets). Williams' 72.9 coverage grade is a real test. Denver is a 1.5-point home underdog with a 40.5 total, a low-scoring game. Sit him until he practices.

Jameson Williams (DET)

vs. Isaiah Rodgers (MIN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Williams has 23 catches on 38 targets for 367 yards and 4 touchdowns, and he caught 5 of 9 targets for 91 yards and 2 scores in the win over Green Bay. Rodgers' 88.7 coverage grade is among the best in the league, so this is a brutal draw. Detroit is a 3-point home favorite with a 46.5 total. He's a boom-or-bust WR3.

Matthew Golden (GB)

vs. Akayleb Evans (CAR)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Golden has 36 catches on 69 targets for 540 yards and 3 touchdowns, but he didn't practice early this week with shoulder and foot injuries, which makes his Thursday-night status uncertain. He caught 6 of 12 targets for 39 yards in the loss to Detroit. Evans' 41.9 coverage grade is one of the weakest in the league, and Evans himself didn't practice either. Green Bay is a 3.5-point home favorite with a 47.5 total. Check the final report.

Keenan Allen (IND)

vs. Travis Hunter (JAX)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Allen has 29 catches on 43 targets for 258 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 3 of 3 targets for 31 yards in the loss to Minnesota. With tight end Tyler Warren (groin) having missed two straight games, he and Josh Downs should absorb the volume. Hunter's 69.0 coverage grade is a legitimate test. Indianapolis is a 10-point road underdog with a 46.5 total, which means pass attempts. He's a PPR floor play.

Jakobi Meyers (JAX)

vs. Charvarius Ward (IND)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Meyers has been a weekly flex option, with 20 catches on 28 targets for 285 yards and 2 touchdowns, and the Jaguars return from their bye after a productive Week 6. Ward's 56.9 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Jacksonville is a 10-point home favorite with a 46.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. He's a WR3.

Xavier Worthy (KC)

vs. Pat Surtain II (DEN)   •   Matchup: Risky

Worthy has 24 catches on 35 targets for 217 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 3 of 6 targets for 11 yards in the 20-3 loss at Seattle. Rashee Rice (hamstring and knee) is questionable, which would cut into his role. Pat Surtain II's 46.7 coverage grade reflects an ankle injury that cost him three games, but he's a former Defensive Player of the Year and is trying to return. Kansas City is a 1.5-point road favorite with a 40.5 total. He's a risky flex.

Tre' Harris (LAC)

vs. Jaylen Watson (LAR)   •   Matchup: Risky

Harris has 15 catches on 25 targets for 225 yards, and his hamstring injury is still unresolved after he was inactive in Week 6. Jaylen Watson's 82.1 coverage grade ranks among the best in the league. Los Angeles is a 6.5-point road underdog with a 45.5 total, and the Chargers are still winless. He's a deep dart.

Puka Nacua (LAR)

vs. Donte Jackson (LAC)   •   Matchup: Safe

Nacua is the No. 2 receiver in fantasy, with 45 catches on 62 targets for 485 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he caught 8 of 10 targets for 68 yards and a score last week while playing through a calf injury. With Davante Adams on injured reserve, Nacua is seeing all the volume he can handle. Los Angeles is a 6.5-point home favorite with a 45.5 total. Start him.

Cody White (LV)

vs. Azareye'h Thomas (NYJ)   •   Matchup: Risky

White has scored 3 touchdowns on just 8 catches and 19 targets, which is the definition of unsustainable, and he caught 1 of 3 targets for 4 yards last week. Thomas' 67.2 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Las Vegas is a 1.5-point road underdog with a 45.5 total. He's a touchdown-or-nothing dart.

Caleb Douglas (MIA)

vs. Carlton Davis III (NE)   •   Matchup: Risky

Douglas caught 2 of 3 targets for 70 yards and 2 touchdowns in Miami's 28-25 win over the Jets, and he's at 9 catches for 183 yards and 2 scores in three games. He's been managing an ankle injury. Carlton Davis III's 79.6 coverage grade is among the best in the league. Miami is a 7-point home underdog with a 43.5 total, which means pass volume. He's a speculative flex.

Jordan Addison (MIN)

vs. Ennis Rakestraw Jr. (DET)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Addison has 13 catches on 25 targets for 183 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 2 of 3 targets for 20 yards in the win over Indianapolis. Rakestraw is dealing with an ankle injury of his own, and the Lions rank last in passing yards allowed. Minnesota is a 3-point road underdog with a 46.5 total. He's a WR3.

A.J. Brown (NE)

vs. JuJu Brents (MIA)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Brown has 9 catches on 20 targets for 101 yards in three games, and he caught 3 of 6 targets for 48 yards in the loss to Chicago after a shaky return with career-high drops.  Brents' 52.6 coverage grade is a soft matchup. New England is a 7-point road favorite with a 43.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. Romeo Doubs is on injured reserve, so the volume is there.

Garrett Wilson (NYJ)

vs. Eric Stokes (LV)   •   Matchup: Safe

Wilson is the Jets' No. 1, with 37 catches on 51 targets for 444 yards and 3 touchdowns, though he had a season-worst 2 catches for 26 yards on 3 targets in the loss to Miami as Omar Cooper Jr. took over the show. Stokes' 47.7 coverage grade is among the weakest in the league. New York is a 1.5-point home favorite with a 45.5 total. He's a strong bounce-back candidate.

Germie Bernard (PIT)

vs. Denzel Ward (CLE)   •   Matchup: Risky

Bernard has been Pittsburgh's No. 2 receiver with 27 catches on 37 targets for 254 yards and a touchdown, but he caught 3 of 5 targets for 27 yards last week. Denzel Ward's 90.9 coverage grade is the best in the league. Pittsburgh is a 3.5-point home favorite with a 39.5 total, the lowest on the slate. He's a risky flex.

Rashid Shaheed (SEA)

vs. Jaylon Johnson (CHI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Shaheed has 16 catches on 30 targets for 163 yards, and he's questionable with a knee injury after leaving the win over Kansas City early. Mike Macdonald said the early returns are positive. Johnson's 36.8 coverage grade is a very soft matchup, one of the weakest in the league. Seattle is a 3-point home favorite on Monday night with a 46.5 total. He's a deep flex.

Emeka Egbuka (TB)

vs. Mike Hughes (ATL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Egbuka has 28 catches on 49 targets for 240 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he returned to limited practice Wednesday after missing the win over Carolina with concussion and foot injuries. Hughes' 39.6 coverage grade is one of the weakest in the league. Todd Bowles has called him questionable. Tampa Bay is a 2.5-point home favorite with a 44.5 total. Check the final report.

Carnell Tate (TEN)

vs. DJ Ivey (CIN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Tate has 34 catches on 51 targets for 413 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 5 of 7 targets for 69 yards last week. Tennessee is a 10-point road underdog with a 46.5 total, which means he should see a lot of volume. Calvin Ridley (hip) is also uncertain. He's a WR3 with a safe floor.

Treylon Burks (WAS)

vs. Riq Woolen (PHI)   •   Matchup: Risky

Burks stepped up for Washington in Terry McLaurin's absence with 4 catches for 66 yards before the bye, but he has just 9 catches on 17 targets for 152 yards and 2 touchdowns this season. He picked up an apparent injury late in that game. Woolen's 60.6 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Washington is a 6-point home favorite on Sunday night with a 40.5 total. He's a deep dart.

Slot Receiver vs. Nickel Corner

Each team's primary slot receiver against the opponent's nickel corner.

Kendrick Bourne (ARI)

vs. Caleb Downs (DAL)   •   Matchup: Risky

Bourne has 25 catches on 36 targets for 234 yards and no touchdowns, and he caught 3 of 6 targets for 9 yards in the loss to Denver. Arizona is a 7-point road underdog with a 54.5 total, which means plenty of passes, but Bourne has been a PPR floor with no ceiling. Caleb Downs is a physical safety playing the slot. He's a deep flex at best.

Zay Flowers (BAL)

vs. Dee Alford (BUF)   •   Matchup: Safe

Flowers is a top-five receiver on some boards, with 40 catches on 53 targets for 608 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he caught 8 of 11 targets for 137 yards and a touchdown last week. Lamar Jackson is expected to return, which should only help. Alford's 40.1 coverage grade is a very soft matchup. Baltimore is a 3-point road underdog with a 54.5 total, tied for the highest on the slate. Start him.

Khalil Shakir (BUF)

vs. Kyle Hamilton (BAL)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Shakir has been a steady slot piece, with 22 catches on 32 targets for 290 yards and a touchdown, and he comes off the bye. Kyle Hamilton is one of the league's most versatile defenders, which makes this a hard matchup. Buffalo is a 3-point home favorite with a 54.5 total. He's a solid PPR WR3.

Jalen Coker (CAR)

vs. Javon Bullard (GB)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Coker returned from a quad injury a couple of weeks ago and has 25 catches on 39 targets for 328 yards and 2 touchdowns, though he caught just 1 of 4 targets for 9 yards in the loss to Tampa Bay. He was upgraded to a full participant this week. Carolina is a 3.5-point road underdog on Thursday night with a 47.5 total. He's a PPR flex.

Kalif Raymond (CHI)

vs. Nick Emmanwori (SEA)   •   Matchup: Risky

Raymond has 26 catches on 31 targets for 244 yards and a touchdown, but he didn't catch either of his 2 targets in the win over New England. He's now behind Luther Burden and Rome Odunze in the target order. Nick Emmanwori is a versatile young defender. Chicago is a 3-point road underdog on Monday night with a 46.5 total. He's a bench candidate.

KC Concepcion (CLE)

vs. Jalen Ramsey (PIT)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Concepcion had a huge day last week, catching 8 of 10 targets for 129 yards, and he's at 30 catches on 45 targets for 315 yards but still no touchdowns. Jalen Ramsey is a veteran slot defender who is hard to separate from. Cleveland is a 3.5-point road underdog with a 39.5 total, the lowest on the slate. He's a PPR flex.

Ryan Flournoy (DAL)

vs. Garrett Williams (ARI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Flournoy caught all 4 of his targets for 70 yards in the win over Philadelphia, and he has 27 catches on 40 targets for 304 yards and a touchdown. Garrett Williams' 57.4 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Dallas is a 7-point home favorite with a 54.5 total, a game with the highest total on the slate. He's a PPR flex.

Amon-Ra St. Brown (DET)

vs. Jay Ward (MIN)   •   Matchup: Safe

St. Brown is an elite WR1, with 46 catches on 68 targets for 525 yards and 5 touchdowns in six games, and he caught 9 of 11 targets for 153 yards against Green Bay. He tweaked his ankle in that game, and Dan Campbell expects him to practice Thursday. Detroit is a 3-point home favorite with a 46.5 total. Start him.

Josh Downs (IND)

vs. Jourdan Lewis (JAX)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Downs has 26 catches on 46 targets for 307 yards and no touchdowns, and he caught 2 of 4 targets for 18 yards in the loss to Minnesota. With tight end Tyler Warren (groin) out, he and Keenan Allen soak up the volume. Lewis' 54.8 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Indianapolis is a 10-point road underdog with a 46.5 total. He's a PPR WR3.

Parker Washington (JAX)

vs. Justin Walley (IND)   •   Matchup: Safe

Washington is a top-10 receiver on most boards, with 26 catches on 46 targets for 416 yards and 4 touchdowns in six games, and he returns from the bye as Jacksonville's clear No. 1. With Brian Thomas losing snaps and mentioned as a trade candidate, he and Jakobi Meyers carry the passing game. Walley's 61.8 coverage grade is fair. Jacksonville is a 10-point home favorite with a 46.5 total. Start him.

Rashee Rice (KC)

vs. Ja'Quan McMillian (DEN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Rice has been out with hamstring and knee injuries and is questionable again, though Kansas City's offense badly needs him after Patrick Mahomes threw for just 165 yards in the 20-3 loss to Seattle. He has 13 catches on 17 targets for 190 yards and a touchdown in four games. McMillian's 65.8 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Kansas City is a 1.5-point road favorite with a 40.5 total. Check the final report.

Ladd McConkey (LAC)

vs. Josh Wallace (LAR)   •   Matchup: Risky

McConkey suffered a concussion after eight snaps in the loss to Kansas City, and he was in a no-contact jersey on Monday but still needs clearance from an independent neurologist. He has 13 catches on 18 targets for 200 yards and a touchdown in five games. Josh Wallace's 76.1 coverage grade is a real test. Los Angeles is a 6.5-point road underdog with a 45.5 total, and the Chargers are winless. He's a bench candidate until he clears protocol.

Konata Mumpfield (LAR)

vs. Tarheeb Still (LAC)   •   Matchup: Risky

Mumpfield has 9 catches on 19 targets for 142 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 1 of 2 targets for 15 yards in the win over Las Vegas. With Davante Adams out, he's in the rotation, but Puka Nacua soaks up the volume. Still's 76.6 coverage grade is a real test. Los Angeles is a 6.5-point home favorite with a 45.5 total. He's a bench candidate.

Tre Tucker (LV)

vs. Jarvis Brownlee Jr. (NYJ)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Tucker had a huge day in the loss to the Rams, catching 5 of 12 targets for 103 yards and a touchdown, and he has 29 catches on 47 targets for 474 yards and 4 touchdowns. Jack Bech is on injured reserve, so Tucker could line up in the slot more often. Brownlee's 63.1 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Las Vegas is a 1.5-point road underdog with a 45.5 total. He's a WR3.

Malik Washington (MIA)

vs. Marcus Jones (NE)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Washington is Miami's top slot receiver, with 26 catches on 39 targets for 289 yards, and he caught 3 of 3 targets for 27 yards in the win over the Jets. Marcus Jones' 56.7 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Miami is a 7-point home underdog with a 43.5 total, which means pass volume. He's a PPR flex.

DeMario Douglas (NE)

vs. Chris Johnson (MIA)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Douglas has 23 catches on 34 targets for 256 yards and 3 touchdowns, and he caught 3 of 4 targets for 23 yards in the loss to Chicago. Chris Johnson's 64.4 coverage grade is a fair matchup. New England is a 7-point road favorite with a 43.5 total, which carries some risk of a run-heavy script. He's a deep PPR flex.

Omar Cooper Jr. (NYJ)

vs. Taron Johnson (LV)   •   Matchup: Safe

Cooper has been a big-play machine, with 12 catches on 13 targets for 248 yards and 2 touchdowns in three games, including 5 catches for 115 yards and a score in the loss to Miami. He has more than 100 yards and a touchdown in both games since returning from an ankle injury. Taron Johnson's 54.0 coverage grade is a soft matchup. New York is a 1.5-point home favorite with a 45.5 total. Start him.

Makai Lemon (PHI)

vs. Mike Sainristil (WAS)   •   Matchup: Safe

Lemon had his best game yet in the loss to Dallas, catching 7 of 8 targets for 67 yards and a touchdown, and he's at 25 catches on 36 targets for 194 yards on the season. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) uncertain, he's Philadelphia's top receiver. Sainristil's 28.5 coverage grade is one of the lowest in the league. Philadelphia is a 6-point road underdog on Sunday night with a 40.5 total. Start him.

Cooper Kupp (SEA)

vs. Kyler Gordon (CHI)   •   Matchup: Risky

Kupp has 18 catches on 27 targets for 199 yards and a touchdown, and he caught 2 of 2 targets for 20 yards in the win over Kansas City. He's logged three or fewer targets in five of seven games, though he could see a bump if Rashid Shaheed (knee) can't play. Seattle is a 3-point home favorite on Monday night with a 46.5 total. He's a bench candidate.

Chris Godwin (TB)

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

Godwin has 27 catches on 34 targets for 243 yards and no touchdowns, and he caught 4 of 5 targets for 27 yards in the win over Carolina. With Emeka Egbuka (concussion and foot) questionable, he could see extra targets. Bowman's 61.3 coverage grade is a fair matchup. Tampa Bay is a 2.5-point home favorite with a 44.5 total. He's a PPR flex.

Wan'Dale Robinson (TEN)

vs. Dax Hill (CIN)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Robinson has 29 catches on 43 targets for 205 yards and 2 touchdowns, and he caught 4 of 6 targets for 7 yards last week. Dax Hill's 51.5 coverage grade is a soft matchup. Tennessee is a 10-point road underdog with a 46.5 total, which means pass volume. He's a PPR flex with a limited ceiling.

Stefon Diggs (WAS)

vs. Cooper DeJean (PHI)   •   Matchup: Moderate

Diggs is the de facto No. 1 in Washington with Terry McLaurin out for the season, and he has 24 catches on 38 targets for 214 yards and 4 touchdowns in five games, including 6 catches for 44 yards and a score before the bye. Cooper DeJean is one of the best young slot corners in the league. Washington is a 6-point home favorite on Sunday night with a 40.5 total. He's a WR2.
