Matchups can make or break a fantasy footballer's week.
In Week 2, a favorable draw with the Cleveland Browns allowed Joe Burrow to throw for 316 yards and three scores. Leonard Fournette erupted for 103 yards and two scores on just 12 carries against a vulnerable Carolina Panthers run defense. Julian Edelman (eight catches for 179 yards), N'Keal Harry (eight for 72) and Damiere Byrd (six for 72) all exploited the Seattle Seahawks secondary.
While a good matchup doesn't guarantee a sleeper will awaken, and a tough draw doesn't preclude a fantasy star from delivering huge numbers, it's another factor to consider when establishing projections ahead of the weekend.
