This article will go game by game for the Week 3 slate looking at the top wide receivers from an offense and, based on the inside/outside and left/right splits of those receivers, identify the WR vs. CB matchups likely to occur.
Receivers rarely see the same corner every play, be it due to formation quirks or zone coverage calls by the defense, so a receiver's fortunes depend on much more than just the quality of the corner they're likely to see the most in a given game. Even against a bad corner, a good receiver can be denied the opportunity if the pass rush or something else outside his control complicates things. But it's part of the puzzle, and it's worth keeping track of.
Receivers are left with an Upgrade, Downgrade, or Even verdict based on their projected wide receiver vs. cornerback matchup. This shouldn't be read as 'good' or 'bad' but rather a measured tweak from the receiver's baseline projection.
Carolina Panthers vs. Atlanta Falcons
PANTHERS WIDE RECEIVERS
If A.J. Terrell (hamstring) is out then it would be quite reassuring for Tetairoa McMillan, who would otherwise grade as a mismatch against a lesser corner like Mike Hughes or Clark Phillips. It's possible that McMillan could see some of Billy Bowman if Bowman moves from the slot to outside to replace Terrell, but otherwise Bowman should mostly stay in the slot and more so be the problem of Hunter Renfrow.
Upgrade: Tetairoa McMillan
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Xavier

FALCONS WIDE RECEIVERS
Drake London figures to see a lot of Jaycee Horn in this one, which arguably isn't great news given London's struggles through two games. I'd personally suggest London is not to blame for his struggles, but whatever the cause might be could also be present in this game, especially if Darnell Mooney gets to face off against the comparatively easy Mike Jackson. The Falcons used a two-TE loadout for almost the entirety of Week 2, and if the Panthers pose little resistance on the scoreboard then the Falcons might have the same inclination in this game. The more two-TE formations by Atlanta, the fewer snaps that will be left for Ray-Ray McCloud.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Drake London, Darnell Mooney (arguable Upgrade if Horn shadows London), Ray-Ray McCloud
Cleveland Browns vs. Green Bay Packers
BROWNS WIDE RECEIVERS
Jerry Jeudy is good enough to start even against tougher defenses, but in the meantime it's otherwise fair to say the Packers secondary has played about as well as any in the league to this point. Some or much of that success might have to do with Jeff Hafley's scheme rather than the raw talent the Packers possess at corner, but scheme or not the results have been fairly convincing for Carrington Valentine, Keisean Nixon and Nate Hobbs. It's not quite as easy to give Cedric Tillman the benefit of the doubt as Jeudy, but Tillman might yet prove himself a formidable receiver in his own right.
If you're looking for a tie-breaking factor to call this a Downgrade matchup, you could let the Packers pass rush be the reason.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman
PACKERS WIDE RECEIVERS
Dontayvion Wicks is a candidate to see the highest or second-highest snap count among Packers receivers due to the absence of Jayden Reed. Wicks and Reed would normally split slot snaps, so with Reed gone it might be Wicks as the clear Green Bay slot wideout while otherwise sprinkling in some flanker reps. Romeo Doubs is locked in as the X boundary receiver but rarely gets slot opportunities – Wicks could get some of both. Then again, Matthew Golden is a player worth featuring more especially when a player like Reed is unavailable, so if Matt LaFleur called for a new policy in the Week 3 game plan it would make plenty of sense. To this point, though, LaFleur has for some reason called just 59 snaps for Golden.
The Browns have two good corners in Denzel Ward and Greg Newsome – Myles Harden in the slot is probably less good. Doubs has a reach advantage on Newsome and especially Ward, but separation probably won't come for him or Golden. If Wicks gets the shots at Harden that could be the easiest route.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Matthew Golden
Jacksonville Jaguars vs. Houston Texans
JAGUARS WIDE RECEIVERS
Brian Thomas needs to get it together, and this is one of the worst matchups he could face in an urgent moment. The good news is Thomas definitely has the talent to transcend a difficult matchup if he's doing his job, so maybe he'll flip the switch. He'll need to if he wants to get the better of Derek Stingley, who might shadow Thomas if only to keep Thomas away from the smaller, slower Kamari Lassiter. Dyami Brown has some speed to threaten Lassiter downfield, but Brown isn't quite the burner Thomas is and might struggle against Lassiter's physicality. Parker Washington might push for more snaps after playing so well in Week 2 – it's not clear what will have to give between Thomas, Brown, Washington and Travis Hunter, though to this point Hunter has primarily played the slot.
The slot is definitely the weakest coverage rep in the Houston defense, if only because they play safety Jalen Pitre there. Safeties don't play corner for a reason, and be it Hunter or whoever else they have not much excuse to fail with their reps there, especially if Stingley and Lassiter divert slack from the boundary.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Brian Thomas (arguable Downgrade if shadowed by Stingley), Travis Hunter, Dyami Brown, Parker Washington
TEXANS WIDE RECEIVERS
Christian Kirk (hamstring) might make his Texans debut in this one, and the Texans could really use his help. If he does return Kirk should take the majority of the slot reps while Nico Collins plays the boundary, leaving Xavier Hutchinson and Jayden Higgins to fight over the remaining boundary reps .
It's not clear how much Travis Hunter will play corner in this one. Hunter played a starter-like snap count from the left side in Week 2, with Jarrian Jones getting the demotion while Jourdan Lewis kept the slot role to himself. Tyson Campbell appears to be on the right side regardless of what goes on with Hunter.
The Jaguars cornerback rotation probably isn't worth thinking about too much. The problem for the Houston offense has been its offensive line more than anything else, and if the offensive line is bad enough it doesn't really matter what occurs with the receivers and cornerbacks. If the line blocks there's no reason these receivers should struggle so much, though the Jaguars corners are at least decent.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Nico Collins, Christian Kirk
Minnesota Vikings vs. Cincinnati Bengals
VIKINGS WIDE RECEIVERS
Carson Wentz is not a good starting quarterback, but it's difficult to believe he won't be a short-term improvement over J.J. McCarthy. Between the mediocre Cincinnati cornerback rotation and the vague hope of decent quarterback play, it's reasonable to be optimistic for Justin Jefferson to get going in this one. Jalen Nailor and Adam Thielen warrant less benefit of the doubt – Cam Taylor-Britt is capable of playing well on one side and DJ Turner is at least very fast on the other, while in the slot Dax Hill is probably one of Cincinnati's better defenders.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: Jalen Nailor
Even: Justin Jefferson, Adam Thielen
BENGALS WIDE RECEIVERS
Ja'Marr Chase and Tee Higgins can beat corners like Isaiah Rodgers and even Byron Murphy, but setting fair expectations for Jake Browning is a challenging task against a Vikings defense with a lively pass rush and disguised coverages. If Browning's popgun arm isn't a problem and if he has enough time for the receivers to run their routes then maybe it works out well, but in the meantime it's not easy to expect the best forms of Chase and Higgins if they're subjected to dubious quarterback play.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Ja'Marr Chase, Tee Higgins
New England Patriots vs. Pittsburgh Steelers
PATRIOTS WIDE RECEIVERS
The Steelers defense has looked rather bad through two weeks, so who knows whether they get it together or when. Darius Slay on one side and Jalen Ramsey on the other should work, and if Joey Porter can return they should be better yet, but if Porter is out again it makes Brandin Echols the CB3.
DeMario Douglas was basically benched last week – reduced to 13 snaps – so it's tough to sign off on him at this point, even if Mack Hollins is unimpressive and Stefon Diggs is limited to a reduced snap count as his knee recovers further. Kayshon Boutte is liable to get stuck with decoy work but is otherwise the Patriots receiver likely to see the most playing time.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs, Mack Hollins
STEELERS WIDE RECEIVERS
Christian Gonzalez (hamstring) might be back for this one, and if so he might immediately get assigned to DK Metcalf. The Patriots probably would prefer to have the legitimately fast Gonzalez to counter Metcalf rather than let Metcalf run at the slowish Carlton Davis. If Gonzalez doesn't have 100 percent of his speed back then the consideration might be moot. Calvin Austin could be challenging to Davis for the same reasons as Metcalf – Austin has lots of speed and Davis would prefer to go against bigger, slower receivers.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: DK Metcalf (arguable Upgrade if Gonzalez remains out), Calvin Austin
Philadelphia Eagles vs. Los Angeles Rams
EAGLES WIDE RECEIVERS
The Eagles passing game has its issues, though it probably has nothing to do with the work of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Similarly in this case, there's nothing the Rams have at corner that could be a 1-on-1 challenge for these two receivers.
The Rams pass rush is lively and it's possible that some limitations have been revealed with Jalen Hurts' passing abilities. Perhaps some adjustment was made and Hurts is flailing his way through it. Corners like Emmanuel Forbes and Cobie Durant are highly unlikely to get the better of Brown and Smith. Brown in particular should be able to bully both.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith
RAMS WIDE RECEIVERS
Puka Nacua is always matchup-indifferent. If Quinyon Mitchell follows Nacua then it makes things harder on Nacua, but (A) it still doesn't matter and (B) if the Eagles send Mitchell after Nacua then they risk cutting loose Davante Adams against Adoree' Jackson. The Eagles might have to resign to leaving Mitchell on one side and giving help to Jackson wherever he lines up, and especially in the event that he lines up against Nacua. The Eagles pretty much cannot let Nacua get cracks at Jackson.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Puka Nacua, Davante Adams (arguable Upgrade if Mitchell shadows Nacua)
Tampa Bay Buccaneers vs. New York Jets
BUCCANEERS WIDE RECEIVERS
Mike Evans getting shadowed by Sauce Gardner makes too much sense – Evans would prefer to see smaller corners, and Gardner would prefer to go against bigger receivers. It would be quite a showdown if so, and one where the winner is unclear ahead of time. Brandon Stephens would be an easier target for Evans, so the Jets might look to deny that opportunity, especially if Emeka Egbuka (hip/groin) is limited or out. A healthy Egbuka would normally be a big problem for Stephens.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Mike Evans, Emeka Egbuka (arguable Upgrade if Gardner shadows Evans)
JETS WIDE RECEIVERS
The Jets really need to do something – even in season – to add some help for Garrett Wilson. They just don't have the route runners to scale up their passing game to so much as 200 yards in a given week. Unless Wilson does it all himself, that is.
At least in this case the Buccaneers corners are not terribly intimidating to Wilson. Jamel Dean and Zyon McCollum are big and very athletic, but their height comes with the tradeoff of lacking the start/stop ability to mirror Wilson's exceptionally quick movements. Tyler Johnson is less likely to stress such corners.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Garrett Wilson, Tyler Johnson
Tennessee Titans vs. Indianapolis Colts
TITANS WIDE RECEIVERS
Xavien Howard and Mekhi Blackmon are not as intimidating as Charvarius Ward (concussion) – especially not Howard at this point – but if Ward returns here then it should be a big boost for the Colts defense. Ward would be an especially tough matchup if Elic Ayomanor should face him, while even Calvin Ridley would likely get a decreased projection the more he saw of Ward. It's tough to see Tyler Lockett getting much going against Kenny Moore in the slot, meanwhile.
Basically, if you have a receiver in this game you're hoping they see Howard, but Ridley and Ayomanor as a tandem might not be enough to stress Ward and Blackmon as a tandem.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Calvin Ridley (arguable Upgrade if Ward is out), Elic Ayomanor (see Ridley), Tyler Lockett
COLTS WIDE RECEIVERS
The Titans secondary is not intimidating, and boundary corners Jarvis Brownlee (ankle) and L'Jarius Sneed (back) are both nicked up. Although slot corner Roger McCreary is solid, he's probably not enough to give Josh Downs a red flag, and either way McCreary does nothing to deter Michael Pittman or even Alec Pierce, though Pittman tends to get the routes that Daniel Jones can most realistically – Pierce tends to run farther downfield.
Upgrade: Michael Pittman
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Josh Downs, Alec Pierce
Washington Commanders vs. Las Vegas Raiders
COMMANDERS WIDE RECEIVERS
The Raiders defense has overachieved to this point, and they might have another manageable task ahead of them here if Jayden Daniels (knee) is unavailable or limited. Marcus Mariota almost certainly cannot make as many throws or the same quality of throws that Daniels can.
With that said, Terry McLaurin is likely too much for corners like Eric Stokes and Kyu Blu Kelly, and there's a good chance the same is true of Deebo Samuel. McLaurin should be a bit more of Kelly while Samuel should see the most of Stokes. Zach Ertz has been the slot receiver.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Terry McLaurin (Upgrade outside of QB situation), Deebo Samuel (see McLaurin)
RAIDERS WIDE RECEIVERS
Jakobi Meyers should be fine against Mike Sainristil in the slot, though Sainristil was promising as a boundary corner in his rookie year. Even if Sainristil plays well, the issue might be more than Meyers is just a really tough slot receiver to stop at this point.
Dont'e Thornton and Tre Tucker probably won't get featured targets the way that Meyers will – the whole reason the Raiders play Thornton and Tucker is to leverage their speed to force the defense to spend less attention to Meyers and Brock Bowers. Marshon Lattimore and Trey Amos will need to be careful not to let Thornton or Tucker get behind them, but in general it would be surprising if Thornton and Tucker combined for a big target count in their roles as big-play specialists.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Jakobi Meyers, Tre Tucker, Dont'e Thornton
Los Angeles Chargers vs. Denver Broncos
CHARGERS WIDE RECEIVERS
Ladd McConkey might be the top receiving threat on the Chargers, but he still probably won't see too much of Patrick Surtain in this one. McConkey to this point has remained the primary slot receiver for the Chargers, and Surtain doesn't often go into the slot. Keenan Allen and Quentin Johnston are probably more likely to run into Surtain and Riley Moss, both of which are challenging matchups. McConkey should more so see JaQuan McMillian, who is at once a good slot corner yet also probably a preferable matchup to Surtain or Moss.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Ladd McConkey, Keenan Allen (arguable Downgrade if shadowed by Surtain), Quentin Johnston
BRONCOS WIDE RECEIVERS
Tarheeb Still presents an interesting challenge for the otherwise thriving Troy Franklin, who should have nearly all the Denver slot reps to himself with Evan Engram injured. If Still slows down Franklin it could create some slack that falls to the boundary, where Donte Jackson and Cam Hart are probably beaten more easily.
It will be interesting to see if the Chargers assign Jackson to Marvin Mims and Hart to Courtland Sutton, because those would be the trait matches – Jackson is light but fast, Hart is tall at 6-foot-3. If that does occur then it would likely be Sutton who has the easiest matchup – Hart is likely the most beatable of the three lead Chargers corners.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Courtland Sutton, Troy Franklin, Marvin Mims
Seattle Seahawks vs. New Orleans Saints
SEAHAWKS WIDE RECEIVERS
Cooper Kupp and Tory Horton got going a bit in Week 2 after an invisible Week 1. If either of them keeps it rolling it might not need to occur at the expense of Jaxon Smith-Njigba, whose target rate remained absurdly high against the Steelers (nine on 42 snaps).
In this game the matchups appear favorable across the board. The Saints probably need to bench Isaac Yiadom but if they don't he might be a target in this game for Smith-Njigba and Horton. Alontae Taylor in the slot probably isn't any concern for Kupp and could sooner be argued an upgrade for Kupp. Kool-Aid McKinstry might be the toughest of the three but probably isn't any major obstacle himself.
Upgrade: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, Tory Horton
Downgrade: N/A
Even: N/A
SAINTS WIDE RECEIVERS
Riq Woolen and Josh Jobe are probably beatable, especially with fast receivers with standout start/stop ability. Chris Olave and Rashid Shaheed certainly qualify. The bigger concern might be the Saints offensive line against the formidable Seahawks pass rush. Right tackle Taliese Fuaga might be out.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Chris Olave, Rashid Shaheed, Brandin Cooks
Chicago Bears vs. Dallas Cowboys
BEARS WIDE RECEIVERS
Rome Odunze and DJ Moore should both project well here, even if Trevon Diggs (illness) is at full strength. Kaiir Elam on the other side is likely quite beatable, and Diggs even ostensibly is more of a gambler than a shutdown corner. Reddy Steward appears to be the slot defender with DaRon Bland out, and that's probably a matchup Olamide Zaccheaus can probably win.
Upgrade: Rome Odunze, DJ Moore, Olamide Zaccheaus
Downgrade: N/A
Even: N/A
COWBOYS WIDE RECEIVERS
If Kyler Gordon (hamstring) and Jaylon Johnson (groin) miss this game it would make things even easier for CeeDee Lamb, who arguably might warrant the highest receiver projection of the week. George Pickens would more so be affected by Johnson's absence, though Tyrique Stevenson might be a decent foil to Pickens when the two face off. If Pickens gets looks at Nahshon Wright it would probably be a little easier to win.
Upgrade: CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens (lower to Even if Johnson is active)
Downgrade: N/A
Even: N/A
San Francisco 49ers vs. Arizona Cardinals
49ERS WIDE RECEIVERS
The Cardinals won't have standout slot corner Garrett Williams, and Will Johnson (groin) missed the first two practices of the week. Fellow starting boundary corner Max Melton (knee) has been limited in practice this week.
Ricky Pearsall should be able to challenge Melton and might have the upper hand against fifth-round pick rookie Denzel Burke if Johnson can't give it a go. Jauan Jennings (ankle/shoulder) should project even better yet if he can play through his injuries. If Jennings misses the game then Kendrick Bourne might be able to get something going, especially if Johnson is out.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Ricky Pearsall (arguable Upgrade if Johnson is out), Jauan Jennings (see Pearsall), Kendrick Bourne (see Pearsall)
CARDINALS WIDE RECEIVERS
Marvin Harrison should split his time relatively evenly between Deommodore Lenoir and Renardo Green, both of whom are probably solid on the boundary. There's nothing trait-wise that would be concerning for Harrison – he's taller and faster than Lenoir and much stronger than Green – but the Arizona offense has a way of devolving into one where Harrison draws most of the defense's attention while Trey McBride vacuums most of the viable targets. That Michael Wilson and especially Zay Jones don't threaten anyone results in even more defensive focus on Harrison.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson, Zay Jones
New York Giants vs. Kansas City Chiefs
GIANTS WIDE RECEIVERS
Malik Nabers might get followed by Trent McDuffie in this one, though it's probably not worth worrying about. It'd just as soon be reasonable to find more concern over Russell Wilson's handling of the Kansas City pass rush, because players like Chris Jones can cause drive-wrecking problems if you play him on the wrong day.
Even so, if Wilson's pass-attempt volume falls off due to sputtering drives it would likely be Wan'Dale Robinson and especially Darius Slayton who get their opportunities cut. Robinson might be close to immovable as a checkdown target in this offense, and Chiefs slot rover Chamarri Conner is no coverage concern. It might actually be a fairly good matchup for Robinson, while Slayton is a tougher sell against Jaylen Watson.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Malik Nabers, Wan'Dale Robinson (arguable Upgrade if McDuffie shadows Nabers), Darius Slayton
CHIEFS WIDE RECEIVERS
Xavier Worthy (shoulder) and Jalen Royals (knee) are both trending toward returning to the field Sunday, which could result in a slight revision of the big role Hollywood Brown has otherwise had the last two weeks.
Worthy, Brown and JuJu Smith-Schuster all are candidates to line up in the slot regularly, and to this point in the year it has generally been Brown who led the way there. Smith-Schuster seemingly took some of Brown's slot snap share relative to Week 1, however, so that rep could go either way. Slot defender Dru Phillips might be the toughest Giants corner to beat, so for this game at least the more enviable reps might actually be on the boundary. Paulson Adebo and Cor'Dale Flott are not exactly pushovers on the boundary but Adebo sometimes takes ill-advised gambles and Flott is a rather skinny corner.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Xavier Worthy, Hollywood Brown, JuJu Smith-Schuster
Baltimore Ravens vs. Detroit Lions
RAVENS WIDE RECEIVERS
Zay Flowers faces a decent challenge here against D.J. Reed and Terrion Arnold, especially if the Lions try to assign Reed specifically to Flowers. Flowers is probably a step faster than Reed, but their builds and athletic traits are similar overall and Reed is likely the better corner in general between himself and Arnold. Probably not enough to call a downgrade though.
Shadowing Flowers with Reed also makes sense because Rashod Bateman is a trait match to Arnold to maybe an even greater extent than Flowers is to Reed. Arnold probably doesn't get any benefit of the doubt against Bateman all the same, because based on how Arnold has played to this point there's a chance Bateman can beat him for skill reasons if not by trait reasons. DeAndre Hopkins has been awfully impressive through two weeks and probably warrants more snaps, but last week the Ravens were content to run out Tylan Wallace and Devontez Walker ahead of Hopkins.
In any case, from the slot Hopkins would be a mismatch against the 5-foot-8 Amik Robertson, so maybe the Ravens should reconsider. If the Ravens line up Hopkins in the slot more often it might force the Lions to move Brian Branch to the slot, which might be worthwhile for Baltimore since it would force backup safety Daniel Thomas onto the field more.
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Zay Flowers (arguable Upgrade if not shadowed by Reed), Rashod Bateman
LIONS WIDE RECEIVERS
Amon-Ra St. Brown went nuts in Week 2 and if Nate Wiggins (groin) were to miss Monday's game then it would make it more likely that St. Brown or/and Jameson Williams continue their momentum into Week 3. The Ravens don't have much depth after Chidobe Awuzie and slot defender Marlon Humphrey, especially if Baltimore can't count on Jaire Alexander.
St. Brown would see the most of Humphrey, though with enough boundary snaps to get about an equal percentage of his reps against the combined boundary duo of Wiggins/Awuzie or Awuzie/Alexander. Awuzie and especially Alexander are not concerning for St. Brown.
Williams' target volume is a concern, as is his fit as a downfield-oriented receiver in an offense with a dink-and-dunk quarterback, but against the 30-year-old Awuzie and especially Alexander there's a burn risk presented by Williams.
Jared Goff could otherwise find it challenging to push the ball downfield while playing in Baltimore, so he could really use an absence from Wiggins or/and fellow Baltimore defensive starters Nnamdi Maduibuike (neck) and Kyle Van Noy (hamstring).
Upgrade: N/A
Downgrade: N/A
Even: Amon-Ra St. Brown (arguable Upgrade if Wiggins is out), Jameson Williams (see St. Brown)
