There are so many things that go into identifying strong plays at wide receiver on a weekly basis for NFL DFS. Examining game scripts, projecting volume, and weighing the matchup are some of the most common factors, but that is just the beginning. Breaking down a matchup on a macro level often isn't enough. Some of the league's worst pass defenses still have an excellent cornerback on the roster, while other perceived tough matchups have individual corners that you can pick on.

In DFS, being able to identify when a receiver is in a particularly advantageous matchup can make the difference in taking down tournaments or going home with nothing.

In 2018, few were better at identifying advantageous matchups for receivers than DFS pro Jacob Gibbs. His WR draft rankings finished 22nd among 154 analysts in FantasyPros' Expert Accuracy Contest, while his in-season WR rankings were 23rd of 125. Through the first eight weeks of the 2018 season, no expert ranked the WR position more accurately than Gibbs did.

Week 6's matchup column highlighted big weeks for Terry McLaurin, Odell Beckham Jr., and Curtis Samuel. Gibbs also was Week 6's most accurate ranker among nearly 150 experts according to FantasyPros' accuracy contest. Last week, Gibbs highlighted tournament-winning plays like Christian Kirk and Darius Slayton, while also hitting on big days from Tyreek Hill and Michael Thomas .

Before you set your DFS lineups or pick which WR to start this week in your Fantasy leagues, you'll want to see Gibbs' analysis and breakdown of which WR vs. CB matchups to target in Week 11.

One thing we can tell you: Gibbs loves the matchup for Mike Evans against New Orleans.

"Mike Evans was blanked the last time he faced the Saints, as Marshon Lattimore completely shut him down. It doesn't look as if Evans will get an opportunity for revenge against Lattimore, as the Saints' top corner's status is very much in doubt." Gibbs said. "This game has the highest over/under on the slate, and the Bucs are 5.5-point underdogs. Jameis Winston will likely have to be aggressive through the air while playing catch-up, if the game script holds true. That could yield huge results for his favorite downfield target."

Gibbs also has identified a wide receiver who has a huge speed advantage over his opponent in Week 11. This wideout is facing a team that has some of the slowest perimeter corners in the league, and he has slate-breaking potential in this spot. You ABSOLUTELY need to see the complete breakdown.
