Play 'Em
1. Amari Cooper vs Philadelphia Eagles
Cooper has played very well since he was traded from the Raiders to the Cowboys. He is matched up with the Eagles defense that is very thin in the secondary due to injury. The Eagles have given up an average of 40.96 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 31st ranked defense at defending the WR position.
2. Calvin Ridley @ Green Bay Packers
Ridley is having one of the best seasons of the rookie WR class in because of
Julio Jones's presence. This is the case because Julio is getting the defenses best corner back to cover him and he is getting all of the double teams. The Packers have given up an average of 39.01 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 26th ranked defense at defending the WR position.
Bench 'Em
1. Eagles WRs @ Dallas Cowboys
The past few weeks the Eagles pass offense has not not been that good. They face the Cowboys secondary that held the high flying Saints offense in check. The Cowboys have given up an average of 28.66 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 1st ranked defense at defending the WR position.
2. Kenny Golladay @ Arizona Cardinals
This week Golladay is going to be covered by Patrick Peterson who is one of the beast corner backs in the NFL. Since Golladay became the Lions number 1 WR he has struggled as he is being covered by better corners than when he was excelling. The Cardinals have given up an average of 35.93 points per game to opposing WRs this season. They are the 14th ranked defense at defending the WR position.
