Wide Receivers With Positive Matchups – Week 12
D.J. Moore and Robby Anderson will look to beat their seasonal averages against a Miami secondary that includes two players, Xavien Howard and Byron Jones, who are each allowing nearly 10.0 PPG on direct targets. On the season, the duo is allowing 1.3 catches of more than 20 yards per game and 0.8 touchdowns. The Dolphins defense has been one of the worst at limiting WRs and this is evident from reviewing the week’s results in the GPS Matchup Rater. Opponents have been highly successful in targeting Miami on both sides of the field.
