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 11 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 11 injury report for status updates on receivers and corners. I will update this piece over the weekend.

WR/CB Matchup of the Week
Bears WR Allen Robinson vs. Rams CB Jalen Ramsey
A-Rob vs. Ramsey: If all had gone according to plan, the only time NFL fans ever would’ve seen this matchup would be if they were watching a Jaguars practice.
When the Jags drafted Ramsey No. 5 overall in 2016, Robinson was coming off a triumphant 1,400-yard, 14-touchdown second season, and Ramsey had screaming All-Pro potential even as a prospect. The Jags hoped those two players would anchor their receiving and corner units for years.
And now Robinson and Ramsey are set to face off for the first time in their careers as members of the Bears and Rams.
That’s what happens whenever the Jags make plans and have hope.
