Marlon Humphrey got back to his old ways this week against the Dolphins
The Week 11 edition of The Cornerback Corner is here! @Orangeman3142 dives into all of the secondary matchups for every game to solidify your #IDP #FFIDP lineups!
Welcome to Johny the Greek’s Cornerback Corner Week 11. Last week we streamed corner and did it well. I recommended 58 different corner streams from 14 different Week 10 matchups. The majority of them worked out extremely well.
We sit at 73% accuracy for the season, 82% last week based on those calls matching or beating their projections (Yahoo), and will continue to track accuracy all season long just like last year. Transparency is something we take seriously here at IDPGuys.
Last week I made 58 recommendations. Of those 58, 6 were declared inactive or injured during play, 43 were correct (met or exceeded projection) and 9 were incorrect (below projection).
We don’t count acts of God here (injuries) and I specifically ask people to check for inactives before each game. So, discounting those, I was 82% correct last week for a 73% accuracy rating for the season overall.
Of those 43 correct calls last week, 15 were “massive hits” (doubled or tripled projection). That is a 35% massive hit rate.
Weekly Accuracy:
- 75% Week 1 Massive Hit: 25%
- 64% Week 2 Massive Hit: 35%
- 67% Week 3 Massive Hit: 34%
- 77% Week 4 Massive Hit: 37%
- 77% Week 5 Massive Hit: 40%
- 71% Week 6 Massive Hit: 40%
- 73% Week 7 Massive Hit: 41%
- 72% Week 8 Massive Hit: 33%
- 69% Week 9 Massive Hit 33%
- 82% Week 10 Massive Hit 35%
Season accuracy to date: 73%
Season massive hit rate to date: 35%

Enough of the past, let's look at Week 11!
Perfect Stream: This is one of the best matchups this week. I will be streaming from these matchups in my own leagues almost exclusively.
Poop stream: This is one of the worst matchups this week. I will very likely have zero corners from this matchup streaming anywhere.
Cornerback Corner Week 11
Colts @ Bills
Outlook: The Bills offense was looking like it's old self last week and assuming we get a similar version this week we'll probably see the Colts in a negative gamescript early. That would make the Bills options viable and we already know Kenny Moore (CB) and company are an excellent option against this Bills passing attack to start with, good chance for a nice little shoot out here with this one.
Indianapolis Colts
Kenny Moore - Solid/Ideal
Rock Ya Sin - Solid (If Xavier Rhodes inactive, otherwise avoid)
Xavier Rhodes - Solid (If healthy)
T.J. Carrie - Avoid
Isaiah Rodgers - Avoid
Buffalo Bills
Taron Johnson - Solid
Levi Wallace - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Tre'Davious White - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Ravens @ Bears
Outlook: Neither passing attack is great on paper, we could see some fireworks so we can start the obvious guys in deeper leagues but statistically this one looks to favor the running game and linebackers more than the cornerback corps on either team. Deeper leagues only for this matchup.
Baltimore Ravens
Marlon Humphrey - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Anthony Averett - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Tavon Young - Avoid
Chicago Bears
Kindle Vildor - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Jaylon Johnson - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Duke Shelley - Avoid
Lions @ Browns
Outlook: The Lions don't have a passing attack and the Browns don't use a passing attack. I don't expect a ton of production from this one for either sides cornerback corps. Pass entirely if you can, this appears to be a cursed matchup.
Detroit Lions
Amani Oruwariye - Avoid
AJ Parker - Avoid
Jerry Jacobs - Avoid
Cleveland Browns
Denzel Ward - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Greg Newsome - Avoid
Troy Hill - Avoid
Greedy Williams - Avoid
Texans @ Titans
Outlook: We can start our Texans options and likely get some decent production but as for the reverse this Titans defense has been excellent overall recently so I'm not sure how much effective passing the Texans will even be capable of this week.
Big picture, there are MUCH better places to stream from this week so deeper leagues only and I would only be using options from this if you're short on choices.
Houston Texans
Lonnie Johnson - Avoid (Playing time)
Terrance Mitchell - Solid
Desmond King - Solid
Tavierre Thomas - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Tennessee Titans
Janoris Jenkins - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Kristian Fulton - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Elijah Molden - Avoid (Playing time)
Packers @ Vikings
Outlook: This is traditionally a pretty decent back and forth divisional affair, despite the Packers defense really having been amazing these past few weeks I believe the Vikings will be able to move the ball and score points here. I would just go the usual suspects here and try for deeper leagues only if possible.
Green Bay Packers
Chandon Sullivan - Solid
Eric Stokes - Solid
Rasul Douglas - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Kevin King - Avoid (Playing time)
Minnesota Vikings
Bashaud Breeland - Solid
Cameron Dantzler - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Mackenzie Alexander - Avoid (Playing time)
Dolphins @ Jets
Outlook: This could actually end up being a decent back and forth affair since neither defense is all that good at all really. Start the usual suspects and hope that pattern holds. Don't overthink this one.
Miami Dolphins
Byron Jones - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Xavien Howard - Solid
No stable third CB option
New York Jets
Bryce Hall -) Solid (Deeper leagues)
Michael Carter - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Brandin Echols - Avoid (Injury)
Javelin Guidry - Avoid (Could be an option, need to see it first)
Saints @ Eagles
Outlook: This has a similar feeling to the Saints/Titans game last week, likely won't be a shootout, neither passing offense is incredible by any means, start the usual suspects but deeper leagues only. Once again there are better options this week so only stream here if your choices are slim overall.
New Orleans Saints
Marshon Lattimore - Solid (Deeper leagues)
P.J. Williams - Avoid (Playing time)
Paulson Adebo - Avoid (Playing time)
Philadelphia Eagles
Steven Nelson - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Darius Slay - Solid (Deeper leagues, if healthy)
Avonte Maddox - Avoid (Playing time most weeks)
Washington Football Team @ Panthers
Outlook: Not great overall, the Panthers quarterback position is very much up in the air and we all know that even if it is mostly Cam Newton he's incapable of the forward pass, as for the reverse Washington has been known to sling it occasionally so we can start the obvious options in deeper leagues for the Panthers. Not a ton here, deeper leagues only.
Washington Football Team
Kendall Fuller - Solid (Deeper leagues)
William Jackson - Avoid (Plays enough though)
Bobby McCain - Avoid (Plays enough though)
Carolina Panthers
Donte Jackson - Solid
A.J. Bouye - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Stephon Gilmore - Avoid (Playing time)
Keith Taylor - Avoid (Playing time)
49ers @ Jaguars
Outlook: Obvious options only, deeper leagues only, very likely a run first, second and last black and blue affair. Two yards and a cloud of dust. I'm not going to be streaming anyone from this matchup personally to be honest.
San Francisco 49ers
Emmanuel Moseley - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Josh Norman - Avoid (Might sit if Kirkpatrick is healthy)
Dre Kirkpatrick - Avoid (Might not be healthy, and if so may not displace Norman)
K'Waun Williams - Avoid
Jacksonville Jaguars
Tyson Campbell - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Shaquill Griffin - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Nevin Lawson - Avoid (Playing time)
Bengals @ Raiders
Outlook: Now we're talking, two pretty legit passing attacks, inside in the death star with both teams coming off a loss and desperate to get back in the win column. Mother nature can't interfere and we should see some fireworks, start the obvious options in leagues of all sizes.
Cincinnati Bengals
Chidobe Awuzie - Solid
Eli Apple - Solid
Mike Hilton - Avoid (Playing time)
Las Vegas Raiders
Casey Hayward - Solid
Nate Hobbs - Solid
Brandon Facyson - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Cowboys @ Chiefs
Outlook: The best place to stream from this week, Trevon Diggs (CB) and Anthony Brown (CB) are ideal streaming options this week. The Chiefs options are excellent as well but are less well known and less productive week to week as well. Perfect stream.
Dallas Cowboys
Trevon Diggs - Solid/Ideal
Anthony Brown - Solid
Jourdan Lewis - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Kansas City Chiefs
L'Jarius Sneed (CB/S) - Solid
Rashad Fenton - Solid
Charvarius Ward - Avoid (Playing time last week)
Cardinals @ Seahawks
Outlook: If Kyler starts this could be a perfect stream, if he doesn't then it gets downgraded pretty significantly. Anyone who remembers last season's editions of this game knows we have a great chance for a beautiful stream here as long as we get Kyler. Let's hope that's the case. Immediate downgrade for all Seahawks options if it isn't him, however.
Arizona Cardinals
Byron Murphy - Solid
Marco Wilson - Solid
Robert Alford - Avoid (Playing time)
Seattle Seahawks
D.J. Reed - Solid
Tre Brown - Solid (Deeper leagues, only if Kyler plays, otherwise sit)
Quandre Diggs (CB/S) - Solid
Steelers @ Chargers
Outlook: One half of a good matchup, start our Steelers options against this excellent Chargers passing attack, we sit the Chargers options against the Steelers backup quarterback. Very straightforward.
Pittsburgh Steelers
Cameron Sutton - Solid
Joe Haden - Solid
James Pierre - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Los Angeles Chargers
Te'Vaughn Campbell - Avoid
Asante Samuel Jr - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Chris Harris Jr - Avoid (Playing time)
All others - Avoid
Giants @ Bucs
Outlook: One half of a good matchup, we start our Giants options against this excellent Bucs passing attack and hope they catch fire once again this week. As for the reverse, the Buccaneers' options aren't great to begin with and the Giants' passing attack is not great either. Pass on Tampa Bay corners this week.
New York Giants
James Bradberry - Solid
Logan Ryan - Solid
Adoree' Jackson - Solid
Darnay Holmes - Avoid
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Jamel Dean - Solid (Deeper leagues)
Richard Sherman - Solid (Deeper leagues, if healthy)
All others - Avoid
