Week 13 WR Cross-Position Matchup Reference: Fantasy Points Against for WR1, WR2, WR3 and Slot
Alex Dunlap, RosterWatch.com

This tool can be used in the same way, as decision-making, tie-breaker tool when deciding who to sit and who to start. The reasons I use the tool are numerous, but I figured if I leave it here, you all will probably come to your own conclusions. a few notes:
1- We use medians because they are a much better measure of central tendency than averages. If you don’t understand what that means, an ELI5 answer is that it takes away the stuff that shouldn’t have happened. Averages tell you both what should have happened, and what shouldn’t have. Hence, the median column.
2- Based on standard scoring.
3- The difference between WR1 WR2 WR3 and slot is just as it is in the NFL. This means that WR1s are the team’s first-target studs, overwhelmingly the X. Some teams do not have a sure-fire WR1 for fantasy, but have a WR1 like Anquan Boldin in SF, etc. WR2s are generally the Z WR who gets targeted less, but starts at one of the split ends. WR3s are players who are generally fantasy scrubs in 12 team leagues – those who usually receive less than 30% of total team snaps and usually come in on 4 and 5-wide sets. Slot guys are slot guys.
For players like Victor Cruz who are both a WR1 and “slot guy,” information from Pro Football Focus or STATS is used to see where he lined up most during the game.
-Furthermore, players can change roles through the season. Keenan Allen did not rack up points as an opposing WR1 through the first part of the season, T.Y. Hilton wasn’t the top target until Wayne went down, etc. This is accounted for in the data.
