For those who missed this column last season, welcome to the Matchups Machine, which narrows down ideal matchups from around the league on a weekly basis using the tools we have available at PFF, the Las Vegas odds, and insight from yours truly.
PFF has all the tools to break down each individual matchup. Do you want to know how your wide receiver is going to do? Well, if he lines up as a split end on 90 percent of his snaps, we can pinpoint which cornerback he will be matching up with for those snaps. We can also tell you how that cornerback has performed.
Of course, as was the case last season, this column will become more accurate as the season goes on and we compile more grades for the players and get a feel for the tendencies and overall strengths/weaknesses of the 32 teams.
The goal of this column is to help you with those tricky decisions in year-long leagues, but also to help you narrow down your best options in daily fantasy leagues. You will see a mix of big-name players and fringe starters. Without further ado, let’s get into it.
Ryan Tannehill @ Jaguars
In Week 1, the Dolphins offense looked out of sync in large part due to the pressure tacked on by the Redskins front seven. The Redskins ate up the undermatched Dolphins offensive line to the tune of 16 total pressures and four sacks. Only three teams graded out with a better overall pass-rush grade in Week 1 than the Redskins.
