Our Weekly Matchup Report is here to help you build the best possible lineups. Each week, we list the ten teams that have the best matchups for QB/RB/WR/TE and the five that have the worst matchups. FORMAT CHANGE! Normally, I would list the season-long rankings in this report, but I am not sure that was the most helpful. As the season progresses, defenses can get better. Instead, the list shows rankings OVER THE LAST FIVE WEEKS. The Washington Commanders are the inspiration for this change. Early in the year, they allowed the most points to QBs and WRs, so their overall rank reflects that early poor play. Over the last month, they have given up the fewest points to those positions. This will be more relevant information for making your Start-Sit Decisions or building a team to win a DFS slate! So, here are the matchups to target or avoid in NFL Week 9.
