Slot WR vs Slot Defense Matchups

Highest-leverage WR matchup signal in fantasy.

Slot CBs almost never shadow. Slot WRs see ~30% higher target rate per route, the route tree is YAC-rich, and bottom-10 slot defenses concede volume + efficiency simultaneously. Mainstream sites publish "WR vs CB" charts that assume CB1-vs-CB1 — slot vs outside is the actual edge. (Bible Ch09 §18 — Slot CB vs Outside CB Matchup Splits)

Limitation: team-level proxy. We don't have PFF per-snap CB grades. Slot targets are proxied by {receiver=WR, pass_location='middle', air_yards<15}. The defense rank is fair as a team-level signal — do not interpret as a per-CB chart.

No qualifying slot WR matchups for week 14, 2024.
