Wide Receivers vs. Cornerbacks: Week 12 Matchups

This article will go game by game for the Week 12 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 cornerbacks most likely to face them in man coverage. 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. Receivers are left with an Upgrade, Downgrade, or Even verdict based on their projected matchup. It seems like Jamel Dean might be out for this one, and if so Zyon McCollum might be the replacement starter opposite Carlton Davis.
