Fantasy Match-Ups: WR/TE

So I was looking around footballoutsiders.com and they have a metric breaking down how defenses do against a team's #1 wide receiver, #2 wide receiver, other receivers, TE, and RB (passing). So when planning for which recievers to pick up/ play during the time of bye weeks, I think this advice will help you out. So far, here's the teams that are the best and the worst defending each type of receiver

#1 Receiver
The Best
1) Bengals
2) Giants
3) Eagles
4) Saints
5) Chargers

The Worst
1) Raiders
2) Patriots
3) Ravens
4) Bucs
5) Texans

#2 Receiver
The Best
1) Broncos
2) Raiders
3) Giants
4) Titans
5) Chargers

The Worst
1) Bucs
2) Bengals
3) Seahawks
4) Colts
5) Jaguars

Other Receivers
The Best
1) Bills
2) Seahawks
3) Packers
4) Bears
5) Ravens

The Worst
1) Bucs
2) Lions
3) Titans
4) Browns
5) Redskins

TE
The Best
1) Packers
2) Colts
3) Raiders
4) Giants
5) Ravens

The Worst
1) Browns
2) Dolphins
3) Redskins
4) Lions
5) Titans

RB
The Best
1) Bucs
2) Jets
3) Packers
4) Bills
5) Raiders

The Worst
1) Patriots
2) Rams
3) Detroit
4) 49ers
5) Jaguars
