Week 11 WR/CB Matchups: New QB, No Worries Nico

When looking at the injury report and seeing that C.J. Stroud is out, it’s easy to think downgrade for Nico Collins with Davis Mills under center. Chris Allen advises you to think again:

“The simple solution is to ‘start your studs.’ And Nico Collins is one of them. He has top-20 marks among all WRs in every opportunity metric. Accordingly, he’s been the Texans’ WR1 in all but two contests—one of which he only played less than 60% of the snaps. But the real concern came with Davis Mills starting in place of C.J. Stroud last week (and will likely happen in Week 11) and its impact on Collins. Luckily, Mills graduated from the ‘just-throw-it-to-your-good-players’ school of thought.”

Chris’ Week 11 WR/CB Matchups offers more reasons why Collins is looking at a premium opportunity for a big game in Tennessee this week. And there are more players who are easy starts this week, plus one where you must beware. ⤵️

Mismatch Report: Join Hands On The Jordan Love Train

It sure was a tough watch for the Packers-Eagles on Monday Night Football, for those who were able to watch. The combination of the Philly pass rush and ace DBs made it a tough night all around for Jordan Love and his receivers. However, Ian Hartitz pointed out in the Week 11 Mismatch Report that things could be quite different against the Giants this week:

“It's hard to not be intrigued by the bounceback potential for these Packers WRs—particularly given the Giants defense's status as:

1. Bad (7th most PPR points per game allowed to opposing WRs)
2. Man-coverage heavy (3rd most man-heavy defense in the league)

Who are the players that Love could be targeting more frequently this week? And is there a wild card who could pop? Ian’s weekly drop of the biggest mismatches answers these questions and is just full of so much more information. ⤵️

Top-75 Big Board: Who is Going to be QB1?

Can you feel it? College football Saturdays are getting a little more intense, with conference races heating up and the playoff spots starting to come into focus. Same goes for the Heisman Trophy race. It’s also getting to be time to look ahead to next April with the NFL Draft. That means we’re about to start our yearly obsession over quarterbacks. And there are plenty who are going to be in the race for the first one off the board.

Thor Nystrom has released his Top-75 Big Board, with QBs Ty Simpson and Fernando Mendoza early contenders to be the first signal-caller off the board. Here’s Thor’s quick hit on Mendoza:

“Mendoza is a big, strapping pocket passer who excels within structure. He keeps his head about him under pressure, and he’s willing to take a hit to deliver a strike, like he did on his viral game-winning TD pass to Omar Cooper to beat Penn State over the weekend. The question with Mendoza is out-of-structure play, but that weakness won’t keep him out of Round 1 in April.”

As is always the case with the draft, offensive and defensive linemen will be flying off the board early. But there are plenty WRs and several more QBs under consideration. Check out Thor’s Top 75.⤵️
