Johny The Greek's Cornerback Corner: Week 13
Johny The Greek's Cornerback Corner: Week 13
Who are the best and worst CB streaming options for Week 13?
Welcome to Johny the Greek’s Cornerback Corner, the only place (that I know of) across the entirety of the planet where we track every single IDP cornerback option every week, all season long. If they’ve got a pulse and log snaps, we’ll have a start/sit call on them and what league size/format they make the most sense in—for all 96+ starting cornerbacks across the entire NFL every week this season.
Last week I made 75 different calls for leagues of all shapes and sizes and once again landed at over 80% accuracy for the week.
Of the 75 calls I made last week, 6 were declared inactive or injured during play. We don’t count acts of God here and I warn everyone to check inactives, so subtracting those players we’re left with 69 adjusted calls. Of those, 58 were correct (matched, beat, or were within a slim margin of their projection on Yahoo and MFL), and 11 were incorrect (didn’t match or beat projection and weren’t even close), giving us 84% accuracy for Week 12.
Of those 58 correct calls, 25 of them were “massive hits” (more than doubled or even tripled their projection), giving us a 43% massive hit rate on correct calls for Week 12. We sit at 81% accuracy overall for the season with 46% of all correct calls ending up as “massive hits.”
Week 1: 77% accuracy, 40% massive hit rate
Week 2: 86% accuracy, 50% massive hit rate
Week 3: 84% accuracy, 40% massive hit rate
Week 4: 78% accuracy, 52% massive hit rate
Week 5: 82% accuracy, 48% massive hit rate
Week 6: 75% accuracy, 53% massive hit rate
Week 7: 83% accuracy, 51% massive hit rate
Week 8: 81% accuracy, 48% massive hit rate
Week 9: 80% accuracy, 38% massive hit rate
Week 10: 74% accuracy, 42% massive hit rate
Week 11: 82% accuracy, 52% massive hit rate
Week 12: 84% accuracy, 43% massive hit rate
Cornerback Corner: Week 13
NOTE: All team stats will be one week behind due to me writing this early in the week so it publishes before waivers run.
Seahawks at Cowboys
Outlook: This indoor affair in Jerry-world is sitting at 45.5 points for the early over/under, that’s a nice number and suggests plenty of offense. The Seahawks passing attack is middle of the pack both in terms of the overall ranking and targeting their wide receivers but they’ll likely need to pass early and often to stay with Dallas in this one. We’ve got pretty good value for Gilmore, Bland, and company this week.
For the reverse, this Cowboys passing attack is now ranked 5th overall and has been red-hot in the past month or so. They target their wide receivers the 10th most in the league and despite Dak Prescott having reigned in the interception issue in recent times this still stinks of a Devon Witherspoon pick-six week. Regardless, plenty of value for our Seattle options as well and a nice overall stream for this Thursday night affair.
Seattle Seahawks
Devon Witherspoon (CB): Witherspoon played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB1/2 in leagues of all sizes.
Tariq Woolen/Michael Jackson (CB): Woolen was benched due to an injury reaggravation last week after only 39% of snaps played, if he’s inactive this week it would be Jackson replacing him. Woolen is the starter. Start whichever one it ends up being as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
Tre Brown (CB): Brown only played 21% of snaps last week, I don’t see anything about an injury and the Niners did run the ball a ton overall so this tracks. He typically plays around 80% of snaps and would be a risky CB4 in deeper leagues this week as a start.
Dallas Cowboys
Stephon Gilmore (CB): Gilmore played 90% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
DaRon Bland (CB): Bland played 90% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with CB1/2 upside.
Jourdan Lewis (CB): Lewis played 83% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Chargers at Patriots
Outlook: This outdoor affair in cold, windy, New England is sitting at 42.5 points for the early over/under, both defenses are banged up so this feels legit. The Chargers passing attack is ranked 9th overall and they target their wide receivers the 4th most in the entire league. If we can figure out who is actually playing cornerback for the Patriots this week we’ve definitely got some value for those options.
For the reverse, this is a clear “sit” week for Samuel, Davis/Leonard, and Taylor against this 22nd overall-ranked Patriots passing attack that is probably even worse than that ranking (early season production is keeping their average passing yards stat higher than it should be). They only target their wide receivers within the worst third of the league and we still go into each week having no idea who will actually play quarterback for this team. Skip the Chargers, start the Patriots, and let’s keep it moving.
Los Angeles Chargers
Deane Leonard/Michael Davis (CB): Davis was once again benched last week and Leonard took over to play 100% of snaps, this has legitimately gone back and forth for almost a month now. Neither option is safe and the matchup is garbage, sit them both.
Asante Samuel Jr (CB): Samuel played 100% of snaps last week and is the last “safe” cornerback option on the Chargers, he’s a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Ja’Sir Taylor/Essang Bassey (CB): It appears we now have this problem in not one but two different cornerback slots for the Chargers. Taylor was seemingly benched for Bassey last week, neither is safe currently. Luckily for us, the matchup is a steaming poop melting slowly through the snow so we can comfortably skip them both and reevaluate after Week 13.
New England Patriots
JC Jackson (CB): Jackson played 92% of snaps last week and is a start as a SUPER risky CB3 in medium to deeper leagues, he’s been in danger of losing his job the last couple of weeks.
Jonathan Jones (CB): Jones played 83% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues.
Myles Bryant (CB): Bryant played 79% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week with CB3 upside.
Lions at Saints
Outlook: This indoor affair in New Orleans is sitting at 45.5 points for the early over/under. We’ve got plenty of value for Adebo, Taylor, and company against this third-overall-ranked Lions passing attack. They only target their wide receivers among the middle of the pack, however, their excellent time of possession ranking helps make up for that deficiency. It’s a nice week for our Saints options.
For the reverse, this Saints passing attack is just outside the top ten for the season and they target their wide receivers within the top third of the league. It’s not perfect, Chris Olave will likely be inactive due to a concussion and Michael Thomas is on the short-term IR but we can fire up Jacobs, Sutton, and company in most medium to deeper leagues this week and feel pretty good about it. Also, there are rumblings that Winston may get the start at quarterback for the Saints, upgrade our Detroit options a bit if that ends up being true.
Detroit Lions
Jerry Jacobs (CB): Jacobs played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with upside.
Cameron Sutton (CB): Sutton played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week (not a ton of production for the season) with upside, especially if crazy Winston gets the start.
Brian Branch (CB/S): Branch played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with upside.
New Orleans Saints
Paulson Adebo (CB): Adebo played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB2 in leagues of all sizes this week.
Alontae Taylor (CB): Taylor played 95% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with CB2 upside.
Marshon Lattimore/Isaac Yiadom (CB): With Lattimore (the starter) inactive last week it was Yiadom as the replacement. If Lattimore can play he would be a risky CB3 in medium to deeper leagues due to the reinjury risk. If he’s inactive then Yiadom, who saw 71% of snaps last week, would be a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues with some upside.
Falcons at Jets
Outlook: This outdoor affair in New York has all the appearances of a stinker up to and including the early over/under, which sits at 36.5 points. The Falcons passing attack is within the worst third of the league and they only target their wide receivers very occasionally (they’re still the worst in the league for wide receiver targets). This is a clear skip week for Reed, Sauce, and company for most of us but they could have some value in much deeper leagues.
For the reverse, this Jets passing attack is 31st in the league, the second worst overall for the season. They only target their wide receivers the 27th most in the league and we’re probably looking at another week of a backup quarterback none of us knew existed until recently. We should skip Okudah, Terrell, and company this week in this horrendous matchup.
Atlanta Falcons
AJ Terrell (CB): Terrell played 100% of snaps last week and is a sit this week but will play enough if you need it.
Jeff Okudah (CB): Okudah played 89% of snaps last week and is a sit this week, he will play enough if you need it though.
Dee Alford (CB): Alford played 64% of snaps last week and is a sit this week.
New York Jets
DJ Reed (CB): Reed played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Sauce Gardner (CB): Sauce played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Michael Carter/Brandin Echols (CB): With Carter inactive last week it was Echols who stepped in as the backup and played 51% of snaps. Carter typically plays around 80% of snaps per week when healthy. Both are a sit this week due to the matchup.
Cardinals at Steelers
Outlook: This outdoor affair in Pittsburgh has a 39.5 early over/under which suggests another lower-scoring stinker. The Cardinals passing attack is currently ranked 28th overall and despite the return of Kyler Murray hasn’t improved much at all. They only target their wide receivers the 21st most in the league and we’ve seen that Murray prefers to target his tight end over his wide receivers by a wide margin since his return from IR. Not a great setup for our Steelers options.
For the reverse, it’s just as bad as this Steelers passing attack is ranked 30th overall in the league and they only target their wide receivers the 26th most in the league. They fired their offensive coordinator and the result, against a mediocre at best Bengals defense, was; 24 completions for a couple hundred (and change) yards. 16 of those targets from last week were to either a tight end or running back, which doesn’t help us. We should be sitting or demoting to much deeper leagues at at minimum any of our Cardinals cornerbacks this week.
Arizona Cardinals
Marco Wilson (CB): Wilson was benched last week and only played special teams, he’s a sit until further notice. This also means that we won’t be able to trust pretty much anything in regard to cornerback options from Arizona for the rest of the season now that they’ve really dived into the “let’s see what else we’ve got” section of their season.
Garrett Williams (CB): Williams played 90% of snaps last week and appears to be the beneficiary of a playing time bump with Wilson benched and Hamilton inactive. He should have some kind of role this week, he’s the only corner I’m somewhat sure about. I would just sit him though, the matchup isn’t worth it and we could easily eat a zero in this situation. Read the rest of these Arizona cornerback option blurbs and ask yourself “Does this sound like a safe situation”?
Kei’ Trel Clark (CB): Clark played 88% of snaps last week in his first live game action in weeks if not months. This could be a result of Hamilton being inactive or Wilson being benched, we don’t have enough information currently to know that. He’s a sit this week while the dust settles, plus the matchup is bad to begin with.
Antonio Hamilton (CB): Hamilton was inactive last week and I have no idea if Clark or Williams was his direct replacement or if Thomas/Wilson (the other corners who saw a sprinkling of playing time last week) combined to replace him. We’ll wait and see, which is fine because this matchup is garbage.
No other safe or significant CB options
Pittsburgh Steelers
Patrick Peterson (CB): Peterson played 95% of snaps last week and is a start only as a CB4 plus in much deeper leagues this week.
Joey Porter (CB): Porter played 100% of snaps last week and is a start only as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Chandon Sullivan/Levi Wallace (CB): Neither corner played North of 42% of snaps last week and both are a sit this week.
Colts at Titans
Outlook: This outdoor affair in Tennessee is sitting at 41.5 points for the early over/under which is decent. The Colts passing attack is ranked right in the middle of the pack and they target their wide receivers just outside the top third of the league. We’ve got some value for McCreary and company, it will probably just be in deeper leagues only though.
For the reverse, this Titans passing attack remains bad, 27th overall and they target their wide receivers the 29th most in the league. None of that bodes well for Kenny Moore and company this week, the Colts cornerbacks should be avoided in Week 13 unless in the absolute deepest of deep leagues. Kenny Moore can always find a way to produce but even he feels iffy in a setup like this.
Indianapolis Colts
Kenny Moore (CB): Moore played 100% of snaps last week and is an automatic start every week as a possible CB1, it’s not likely this week with the Titans in town but we’ll start him anyway since he’s one of the greatest IDP cornerback options on the planet and has been for years.
Jaylon Jones/Juju Brents (CB): If Brents can play he would be a sit in his first week back from a month-plus injury, if he’s inactive again then Jones would get another start and be nothing more than a CB4 plus in much deeper leagues due to the matchup.
Darrell Baker Jr (CB): Baker played 85% of snaps last week and is a sit this week due to the matchup in combination with his “less than perfect” playing time.
Tennessee Titans
Kristian Fulton (CB): Fulton played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues with upside this week.
Sean Murphy Bunting (CB): Bunting played 100% of snaps last week after returning from a multi-week injury and reclaiming his starting cornerback role over replacement Elijah Molden. He’s a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week with upside.
Roger McCreary (CB): McCreary played 89% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with upside.
Elijah Molden (CB): With Bunting back healthy last week, Molden only played 49% of snaps, good thing I warned everyone about that and have been for weeks. His value drops off a cliff when the three options above are healthy. He’s a sit this week.
Dolphins at Commanders
Outlook: This outdoor affair in Washington has a massive 49-point early over/under and that absolutely tracks from what we’ve seen with these two passing offenses this season. The Dolphins are the best overall passing offense in the league and they target their wide receivers the 5th most in the league, this is a picture-perfect setup for Kendall Fuller, St Juste, and company.
For the reverse, this could be a great bounce-back game for Jalen Ramsey and the Dolphins corners against this 10th-overall Commanders passing attack that targets their wide receivers the second most in the entire league. Washington either gets in an early hole or abandons their run game for other reasons seemingly every week, this plus those rankings make for a great setup for our Miami options in Week 13.
Miami Dolphins
Jalen Ramsey (CB): Ramsey played 83% of snaps before resting due to the blowout last week, he’s a start as a CB2 in leagues of all sizes this week with CB1 upside.
Xavien Howard (CB): Howard played 83% of snaps before resting due to the blowout last week, he’s a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week with upside. He’s “real football” good, not IDP production good.
Kader Kohou (CB): Kohou was in for 83% of snaps last week and got to play a little extra due to garbage time, he’s been capped at around 65% of snaps in a “real game” against a “real opponent” when both Howard and Ramsey play every snap. He’s a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
Washington Commanders
Kendall Fuller (CB): Fuller played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with CB2 upside.
Benjamin St Juste (CB): Juste was in for 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB2 in leagues of all sizes this week.
Jatavius Martin/Danny Johnson/Emmanuel Forbes (CB): Martin got into the action last week and jammed up this third cornerback situation even more with his 69% of snaps out of literally nowhere. We simply cannot trust this third cornerback slot in Washington, at all. Sit all three of these options.
Broncos at Texans
Outlook: This indoor affair in Houston is sitting at 45 points for the early over/under which is decent. The Broncos passing attack remains bad, 24th overall and they only target their wide receivers the 30th most in the entire league. This is a sit or “much deeper leagues only” week for Derek Stingley, Steven Nelson, and company.
For the reverse, however, this is a great setup for Patrick Surtain and company up against this 2nd overall-ranked Texans passing attack. They target their wide receivers the 6th most in the league. We can absolutely fire up our Denver cornerbacks this week and feel good about their situation.
Denver Broncos
Patrick Surtain (CB): Surtain played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues with upside this week. He’s typically avoided by opposing offenses and quarterbacks and it shows in his season-long production, especially when compared with the other two Denver corners.
Fabian Moreau (CB): Moreau played 97% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
Jaquan McMillian (CB): McMillian played 81% of snaps last week and should see similar if not more playing time against this excellent passing offense, he’s a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues with upside despite the less-than-perfect playing time.
Houston Texans
Derek Stingley (CB): Stingley played 99% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week with upside.
Steven Nelson (CB): Nelson played 99% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Tavierre Thomas (CB): Thomas was in for 68% of snaps last week and is a sit this week due to the matchup plus his playing time issues.
Panthers at Bucs
Outlook: This outdoor affair in Tampa Bay has an early over/under of 39 points and features two pretty mediocre passing offenses. The Carolina passing attack is ranked 28th overall and nothing Bryce Young did last week changed that in the least. They do target their wide receivers the 8th most in the league so we’ve got some value with that factor. Deeper leagues only for any Tampa Bay options this week.
For the reverse, this Tampa Bay passing offense is ranked just outside the top third of the league and they target their wide receivers the 9th most overall. That gives us some pretty solid value for Donte Jackson and company, now we’ll try and figure out who’s playing cornerback for Carolina beyond Jackson, that’s the true challenge.
Carolina Panthers
Donte Jackson (CB): Jackson played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues with upside.
Jaycee Horn/Troy Hill (CB): With Horn inactive again last week it was Hill seeing just 49% of snaps as his (apparent) replacement (according to depth charts that are likely a guess). I would sit both this week, Hill isn’t playing enough and if Horn returns it would be doubtful he would see full playing time immediately after a multi-month injury.
CJ Henderson/David Long (CB): With Henderson, the starter, inactive last week it was Long seeing 92% of snaps. If Henderson is inactive again then Long could be an option, it would be a pretty risky one though. If Henderson is healthy he’s a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues, if inactive then I would just skip this since there’s a ton of fluctuation happening here and it could easily result in us guessing wrong and eating a zero.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Carlton Davis (CB): Davis played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues with lots of upside.
Jamel Dean (CB): Dean was inactive last week due to an injury, he typically plays 100% of snaps and if he can play this week would be a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues.
Zyon McCollum (CB): If Dean or Davis is inactive this week then McCollum becomes an option, if they’re both healthy then he’ll sit. If option one is in effect then he’s a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues, otherwise, sit if the two starters are healthy.
Dee Delaney (CB): Delaney played 74% of snaps last week and is a sit this week due to the matchup plus his bad playing time.
Browns at Rams
Outlook: This indoor affair in Los Angeles has a 38.5 point early over/under which indicates a likely defensive struggle. The Browns passing attack is ranked 26th overall and only targets their wide receivers among the middle of the pack. We’ll have limited value for any Rams cornerback options in Week 13 with those factors in mind.
For the reverse, this Rams passing attack is ranked just outside the top third of the league but seems to be going backward week after week. They do target their wide receivers the 3rd most in the league so that will help give Denzel Ward and company some value in this matchup. It’s a decent setup for our Cleveland options and a clear “stay away” for any Los Angeles corners this week.
Cleveland Browns
Denzel Ward/Mike Ford (CB): With Ward inactive last week it was Ford who replaced him and played only 51% of snaps, if Ward is healthy then he’s a risky CB4 in deeper leagues, if he’s inactive again then I would sit/skip Ford as an option this week.
Martin Emerson (CB): Emerson played 96% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
Greg Newsome (CB): Newsome played 87% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week with some upside.
Los Angeles Rams
Derion Kendrick (CB): Kendrick played 100% of snaps last week but this entire Rams cornerback corps has been in flux recently, he may be the best option currently but the best of three bad options is still a bad option. Sit him this week.
Cobie Durant (CB): Durant played 45% of snaps last week and is a sit due to the matchup plus bad playing time.
Akhello Witherspoon (CB): Witherspoon played 66% of snaps last week and is a sit due to the matchup plus production issues all season plus now he’s not even playing enough each week.
49ers at Eagles
Outlook: This outdoor affair in Philly is sitting at 45.5 points for the early over/under. The 49ers passing attack is ranked 8th overall but they only target their wide receivers the 31st most in the league, most of their completions are chunk plays and between George Kittle and CMC a good portion of those attempted passes are NOT to wide receivers, it will be deeper leagues only for any Eagles corners with these factors in mind.
For the reverse, this Eagles passing attack is ranked 12th overall and they target their wide receivers among the middle of the pack. We know they can air it out, it really depends if the 49ers can shut down their run game and make them one-dimensional. We’ve got decent value for Chavarious Ward, Lenoir, and company regardless. It’s one-half of a decent matchup once we put it under the microscope.
San Francisco 49ers
Deommodore Lenoir (CB): Lenoir played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with solid upside.
Chavarious Ward (CB): Ward played 93% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB2 in leagues of all sizes this week.
Ambry Thomas (CB): Thomas has apparently locked down this third cornerback role for the Niners and played 82% of snaps last week, he’s a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week with some upside.
Philadelphia Eagles
Darius Slay (CB): Slay played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
James Bradberry (CB): Bradberry played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Bradley Roby (CB): Roby played 75% of snaps last week and may have locked down this third cornerback role for the Eagles, we can’t be sure though since we’ve only seen it once. This role has been in flux for weeks so I can’t trust it yet, sit him and if he plays similar snaps again this week then we’ll consider him an option going forward.
Chiefs at Packers
Outlook: We’ve got a 41.5 point over/under for the early line in this outdoor affair in Kansas City. The Chiefs passing attack is ranked 6th overall and they target their wide receivers among the middle of the pack, that’s plenty of value for our Green Bay corners in Week 13. They are good to go.
For the reverse, this Green Bay passing attack is ranked among the middle of the pack in both overall passing offense and targeting their wide receivers. Those flashes of brilliance we saw last week during Thanksgiving were against a far less “scary” defense than what they’ll be up against in the Chiefs. I think we’ll get some value for Sneed and McDuffie but it’s far from perfect that’s for sure.
Kansas City Chiefs
L’Jarius Sneed (CB): Sneed played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
Trent McDuffie (CB): McDuffie was in for 97% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
Jaylen Watson (CB): Watson only played 43% of snaps last week and is a sit due to the matchup plus his bad playing time.
Green Bay Packers
Carrington Valentine (CB): Valentine played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week with solid upside.
Jaire Alexander/Corey Ballentine (CB): When Alexander is inactive we get Ballentine as his replacement, just like last week where he played 100% of snaps. If Alexander can play he would be a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues, the same thing for Ballentine if Alexander is inactive again.
Keisean Nixon (CB): Nixon played 67% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week, promote as needed if your league scores return yards.
Bengals at Jaguars
Outlook: To round out Week 13 we’ve got a 41-point over/under for this outdoor affair in Jacksonville. The Bengals passing attack is a shell of what it once was so any Jacksonville cornerbacks should only be started in much deeper leagues against a hugely inexperienced backup quarterback.
For the reverse, this Jaguars passing attack is ranked within the middle of the pack and they target their wide receivers about the same. They’re coming off a monster week against the Texans and if the game script lines up right we’ll have tons of value for Cam Taylor Britt and company. We’ve got another “half a good matchup” to button up Week 13. Good luck my friends!
Cincinnati Bengals
Cam Taylor Britt/Chidobe Awuzie (CB): Britt was inactive last week and that bumped Awuzie up to 97% of snaps played. If Britt can play then he would be a CB2 in leagues of all sizes despite the reinjury risk, which will be there for sure, he’s just too good to sit if he can play. If Britt is inactive again then Awuzie would be an option as a CB4 in deeper leagues that would have some decent upside.
DJ Turner (CB): Turner played 100% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB3 in medium to deeper leagues this week.
Mike Hilton (CB): Hilton was in for 80% of snaps last week but continued his hot streak in the box score, he’s a start as a CB2 in leagues of all sizes with this solid matchup on the docket for this week and his hot streak in mind.
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tyson Campbell/Montaric Brown (CB): With Campbell inactive again last week it was Brown as his replacement once again. If Campbell can play I would sit him as this would be his first week back from a month-plus injury. If he’s inactive again then Brown would be an option as a CB4 plus in much deeper leagues.
Darious Williams (CB): Williams was in for 92% of snaps last week and is a start as a CB4 in deeper leagues this week.
Tre Herndon (CB): Herndon was in for 68% of snaps last week and is a sit this week due to the matchup plus his bad playing time.
Have no idea what any of that was?
I’d recommend that you read the Week 1 edition of The Cornerback Corner. I intentionally made that one as detailed as humanly possible and explained nearly every aspect of cornerback streaming, what factors we look for, and why. There’s also a language key in that edition and every call (start or sit) is explained in detail using the factors we look to each week. Consider this the “primer” for the rest of the season if any of this reads like hieroglyphics.
Want a faster version?
Check out the audio version of this article in The IDP After Show feed for a quick rundown of every week’s best and worst games to stream from plus my favorite streams of each week. I’ll be highlighting all the most important information from this article in a quick and easily digestible audio podcast that should run around 20-30 minutes.
Additional Resources & Contact Information
Reminder! These are only suggestions, your responsibility for your lineup is yours and yours alone. However, with that being said, these are the same moves I’m making myself in my double-digit amount of redraft leagues and another 20 or so dynasty leagues so we sink or swim together. Remember to check inactives before kickoff to prevent any surprise zeroes.
We make the best decisions we can with the information we have available at the time and after that, it’s in the hands of the fantasy gods. I’ve averaged approximately 72% accuracy matching or beating projections since I started writing this article series four seasons ago. I want to win just as badly as you do so I promise you I’ll do everything in my power to make sure these suggestions are solid.
There will be a weekly transparency thread before each week’s cornerback streaming calls where I review the previous week’s results. If I’m in a slump you’ll know it. This is year 20 of IDP for me and a normal season should put me well past 40 titles and 60 plus 2nd/3rd place finishes across redraft and dynasty plus a ton more in best ball, DFS, eliminators, salary cap, etc. You’re in good hands here at the Cornerback Corner, as this is not my first rodeo.
