Week 1 Best and Worst WR, TE matchups: Garrett Wilson set to smash, Xavier Worthy faces tough test

Key Points:

• Slot receivers face varied matchups in Week 1, with Kyle Pitts (Falcons) benefiting from Pittsburgh’s weak slot defense, and Dallas Goedert (Eagles) poised for increased targets after A.J. Brown’s departure.
• Tennessee’s secondary struggled against slot receivers last season, making Mason Taylor and Isaiah Williams intriguing options for the Jets in the slot, while Michael Mayer (Raiders) could exploit Miami’s vulnerable slot coverage.
• Stefon Diggs (Commanders) may face difficulties if primarily lined up in the slot against the Eagles’ strong slot defense, which limited completions and yards last season.
• On the boundary, Garrett Wilson (Jets) is in a favorable matchup against the Titans, who allowed high completion rates and yardage to outside receivers, while Jordan Addison (Vikings) faces a challenging Packers defense but remains a recommended start.
• The Giants’ Malik Nabers, primarily a boundary receiver, faces a potentially improved Cowboys defense, suggesting caution in starting him, whereas Malachi Fields is not advised for this matchup.
