Grading Week 12 NFL WR/CB Matchups: Cowboys’ Pass Offense vs. Patriots’ Pass Defense

Wide receiver-cornerback showdowns might be the most important individual matchups in football.

In this piece, I leverage snap data from Pro Football Focus to project NFL Week 12 WR/CB matchups.

For more, see the FantasyLabs Matchups page, where we provide basic and advanced data — including fantasy and red-zone performance — for each offensive skill-position player based on his matchup.

Also consult our Week 12 injury report for status updates on receivers and corners. I will update this piece over the weekend.

Let’s start with this week’s featured matchup and then run through all the wide receiver situations and sort through my matrix featuring every matchup.
