As we dive headfirst into the fantasy football playoffs, every player’s performance holds immense weight, particularly in Week 16. With the NFL Draft and college bowl games on the horizon, many are tempted to shift their focus, but for those still in the running for that coveted championship trophy, this is the make-or-break moment.

In the playoffs, the smallest edges can tip the scale between success and disappointment. Here’s a breakdown of crucial WR/CB matchups you need to consider in your quest for fantasy glory this week.

Top WR Matchups to Watch

DK Metcalf (WR – SEA) vs. Fabian Moreau (CB – MIN)

Metcalf's recent performances have been underwhelming, with just one outing of over ten fantasy points in the last eight weeks. Injured for two weeks and now competing with a questionable quarterback, he stands at the WR35. Yet, against Fabian Moreau, who is surrendering an alarming 0.40 fantasy points per route run—the second-highest in the league—he could break out. The Vikings are favored by three points, suggesting an aggressive game from the Seahawks might be necessary, offering Metcalf a glimmer of hope to salvage his season.

Jalen McMillan (WR – TB) vs. Amani Oruwariye (CB – DAL)
