We're breaking down the cornerbacks too, diving into their IDP value and how they can change the game's outcome. You'll get a complete picture of both sides of the ball.As we head into Week 7, brace yourself for high-stakes face-offs. Will the receivers continue to dominate, or will the corners keep them stranded on their island, shutting down the big plays? It's time to see who steps up and who falls short in these pivotal matchups.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="550" data-dnt="true">Diontae Johnson is who we drafted him to be...after Andy Dalton took over.- 55 targets (#3) 🎯 - 11 Red Zone Targets (#2) 🔴 - 18.3 FPPG since Week 3 (Andy's takeover) 🤑Are you going to <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/KeepPounding?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#KeepPounding</a> with Diontae or are you trying to sell high??<a href="https://t.co/J3KqFCgLnj">pic.twitter.com/J3KqFCgLnj</a>— PlayerProfiler NFL (@Profiler_NFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/Profiler_NFL/status/1846962125849374727?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">October 17, 2024</a><input type="image" src="empty.gif" style="opacity:0" onerror="s=document.createElement(&quot;script&quot;);s.src=&quot;https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js&quot;;document.body.appendChild(s);"></blockquote>Diontae Johnson is one of the better route runners in the league. He excels at getting open on short and intermediate routes, making him a key target in the Panthers offense. His ability to separate quickly combined with his quick footwork, puts him in favorable situations against most corners.St-Juste has shown that he’s vulnerable in coverage at times. He is better at defending bigger receivers versus fast, technical route runners like Johnson. Johnson’s agility and quickness may be a problem for St-Juste, who will struggle with Johnson’s shifty style.Johnson is known for commanding a significant target share, making him a fantasy producer even if he’s not heavily involved in deep routes. He has a high number of targets, tied for 3rd in the league with 55, and he also accounts for 39.2% of the team’s red zone targets. He’s likely to continue that trend this week against a weak secondary.Johnson’s route-running ability, target volume, and quickness make him the favorite to win this matchup. He will create enough separation to get open and take advantage of intermediate throws, particularly if St-Juste cannot keep up with his change of direction and acceleration.Expect Johnson to be a high-volume target again, especially on slants, outs, and intermediate routes. St-Juste is also accumulating enough tackles per game and potential pass break-ups to be considered a startable asset in leagues that require the CB position.Allen Lazard vs Beanie BishopThe matchup between Jets WR Allen Lazard and Steelers CB Beanie Bishop will be intriguing. Lazard has been in good form this season, currently ranking as the WR11. With Aaron Rodgers now reconnecting with his favorite target, Davante Adams, Lazard remains a reliable option for the Jets’ passing attack.On the other side, Beanie Bishop, the undrafted rookie, has been making the most of his opportunities with the Steelers as a slot cornerback. With Joey Porter covering the outside, Bishop's primary responsibility will be to handle Lazard in the slot.Bishop has struggled when targeted, allowing a passer rating of 126.3. Recently, he had trouble against Jalen Tolbert, who caught 7 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown. Josh Downs also took advantage, recording 8 catches for 82 yards and a touchdown. Additionally, Ray-Ray McCloud and Ladd McConkey both led their teams in receiving yards against the Steelers.This matchup could be crucial as the Steelers aim to contain the Jets’ deep receiving corps. Bishop will need to use his quickness and awareness to prevent Lazard from making big plays, especially in the red zone, where he has been dangerous. Even with the addition of Davante Adams, Lazard is still a startable asset in the flex position.</div></body>
