I’m back, Razzball Nation! I need to begin by thoroughly apologizing for my absence last week. As I was making my way to the computer to submit last week’s start vs. sit, I tripped on an empty can of Chef Boyardee lying on the floor and went sprawling across the room, inadvertently ripping the PC power cord out of the wall and straining my left glute. Life happens, and while I won’t make excuses, we need to get back to business pronto. If your roster looks like many of mine or resembles anything close to that of my pasta-can-littered floor, your fantasy team has finally hit the WTF (Where’s The Franzia?) stage of the season. Anthony Richardson is out for the year. Justin Jefferson is stuck on your IR. You lost J.K. Dobbins right out of the gate. And now, Joe Burrow is on bye and Calvin Ridley got you 1.5 points last night. BAD! But! But! Do not fret! There’s still a full slate of Sunday games to get right and it all begins with making the right calls before kickoff. Week 7 Start vs. Sit begins right now.
Please, blog, may I have some more?

Beckham’s down 2019 seems to be due to many factors. This includes injury, switching teams and poor coaching. Many of these things seem to be remedied as a healthy off-season, new coaching staff and continuity with Baker should help him improve in 2020. Last season while dealing with all those factors Odell had a tough schedule that included games vs. the NFC west and AFC east divisions that have many notable corners. Now Beckham has the best shadow coverage match-up schedule of any WR1 in 2020. Does this mean Beckham is primed to return to the top 12? Read why he is a lock to improve on his borderline low end WR2 finish from his 2019 campaign.

When doing the analysis on Golladay his stats vs. shadow coverage was astonishing. Not just because he had a higher PPG in the 7 contest when he faced shadow coverage, but it was who he did it against that was most impressive. Golladay has succeeded in games vs. notable tier 1 shadow coverage corners including Chris Harris, James Bradberry and Tre’Davious White. In 5 of the 7 games he had at least 14 points in .5 PPR with only 1 terrible game that was under 8 points.

Division: AFC EAST
WR1: Stefon Diggs
Number of Potential Shadow Coverage Match-ups: 8
Historical Production
Stefon Diggs vs Shadow Coverage 2018-2019
| Stefon Diggs vs. Shadow Coverage | ||
|---|---|---|
| Opponent | Games | PPG |
| Vs. Shadow Coverage | 6 | 11 |
| All other opponents | 24 | 13.4 |
*Point per game based on receiving stats only
Diggs has seen some mixed results vs. shadow corners. Top cornerbacks Stephon Gilmore, Patrick Peterson and Darius Slay held him under 50 yards over the past two seasons. However, Diggs did have one dominate performance vs. Chris Harris and the Denver Broncos. In five of six games he was held under the 13.4 points per game average he has in all other match-ups while failing to reach double digit fantasy points in 50% of those games in .5 PPR. Overall Diggs only produced one WR1 week in the games he saw shadow coverage from a tier 1 cornerback.

Now it’s very rare anyone will tell you to sit your studs, but in some cases, there are other factors that should be considered.
