NFL’s 10 highest-graded wide receivers against man coverage: Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown edges out the top spot (1. AMON-RA ST. BROWN, DETROIT LIONS (Receiving grade vs. man coverage: 90.8):  St. Brown came in at No. 9 when we looked at performance against zone coverage, but when it came to facing man coverage, he was the top guy. St. Brown was a phenomenal underneath weapon working from the slot, as he had 25 first downs on one of the lowest average depth of target figures (6.9) of the qualified receivers.  St. Brown had a career year last season for Detroit, proving to be one of the league’s best slot receivers. He had an impressive 127.7 NFL passer rating when targeted against man coverage, which ranked inside the top 10. Not only did he rank top 10 in that area, but also with a 2.82 yards per route run; both of which were better numbers than what he posted when facing zone coverage.):  https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-10-highest-graded-wide-receivers-against-man-coverage-lions-amon-ra-st-brown-edges-out-the-top-spot
