Fantasy Football WR Report: Man, zone coverage performance ahead of NFL Week 17

Puka Nacua has been the league’s best wide receiver versus zone coverage: Nacua faces off against the Arizona Cardinals, who play zone at an above-average rate, allowing him to build on his success.

CeeDee Lamb’s dominance against man coverage should help him overcome a tougher matchup: The Philadelphia Eagles run man at an above-average rate, which plays into Lamb’s strengths heading into Week 17.
