Fantasy Match-Ups: WR/TE, Week Five

Right now, you can analyze how teams do against #1 wide receivers, #2 wide receivers, other wide outs, the Tight End, and RB (in the passing game). You can go here to see how teams rank. I will how ever make your life easier by telling you which receivers have favorable match ups and which do not based after the top and bottom five defenses against receivers in the league.

Favorable Match Ups:
-Chad Ochocinco
-Brandon Marshall
-DeSean Jackson
-Reggie Wayne
-Dewayne Bowe
-Jeremy Maclin
-Torry Holt
-Mark Clayton
-Nate Washington
-Michael Clayton (I didn't know George Clooney played football?)
-Josh Reed
-Austin Collie
-Mike Wallace
-Dustin Keller
-Derek Fine
-Visanthe Shiancoe
-Dallas Clark
-Dante Rosario/Jeff King (who ever Carolina's TE is)

RB for PPR leagues and have favorable receiving match ups:
-Knowshon Moreno
-Rashard Mendenhall

-Antonio Bryant
-Donnie Avery
-Joey Galloway
-Darrius Heyword-Bey
-Lav Coles
-Michael Jenkins
-Ted Ginn Jr.

-Brandon Stokley
-Kevin Boss
-Kellen Winslow
-Alge Crumpler
-Bo Scaife
-Zach Miller
-Anthony Fasano

RB for PPR leagues and have unfavorable receiving match ups:
-Ronnie Brown

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

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

2) Lions
3) Titans
4) Browns
5) Redskins

The Best
1) Packers
