Larry Fitzgerald is having a great season, keeping his first-ballot Hall of Fame career moving along. Only Antonio Brown has more catches and only five players have more yards. But Fitzgerald faces the Jaguars' elite secondary this week, and that's a very tough matchup for him.
The Jaguars have faced five other elite, No. 1 type wide receivers this season. (We're excluding A.J. Green, ejected early on in their game.) Only 1 of them has scored. Three of them have gone over 70 yards, which is at least something; you don't sit Fitzgerald down for just anyone. But it will be tough for him to be as good has he's been so far, and fairly surprising if he's scored.
On the table, we're including every team's perceived No. 1 wideout, even the players who aren't really go-to guys like Fitzgerald.
