NFL Fantasy Matchups to Target | NFL News

0:00On September 11th, alright, let's talk about who's got the favorable matchups in the NFL this week, especially for those of you deep in fantasy. Football. We're looking at how certain receivers and tight-ends stack up against the posing defenses, focusing on those lining up in the slot and those on the outside. It's not the only thing to consider, but it can definitely be a tiebreaker when you're agonizing over who to start. This week, the Falcons taking on the Steelers looks promising for Kyle Pitts. Pittsburg's defense has had trouble with receivers in the slot, and Pitts spends a good chunk of his time there. Plus, word is, the quarterback has been looking his way a lot. On the other side, the Raiders' Michael Mayer could be in for a big game against the dolphins, whose secondary was shaky last season, especially against slot targets. Now, for some tougher spots, Stefan Diggs might have a rough start if he's running a lot of routes from the slot against the Eagles. That fairly defense was really stingy against slot receivers last year, giving up very few

1:00yards and completions. It's a matchup to watch closely. Looking at outside matchups, Garrett Wilson of the Jets seems to be in a good position against the tight-ends. Tennessee's defense gave up a lot of yards and completions to receivers on the boundary last season. This could be a big opening game for Wilson. Finally, Jordan Addison of the Vikings faces the Packers. This year against Green Bay, Addison didn't do much, but that was a different situation. With him running most of his routes from the outside, and reports of good chemistry with his quarterback this off-season, he could be a solid play.
