The Facts: The Divisional Round kicks off Saturday afternoon with the best 1-on-1 matchup around: Adams vs. Los Angeles Rams corner Jalen Ramsey. The two are tops at what they do. "I respect Jalen's game," Adams said, via the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. "He's at the top of the list, for sure. I think there's probably three or four super elite -- is what I like to call them -- corners, and he's definitely one of those guys. He's been playing at a high level, got great confidence. Does a lot of barking, which feeds into his confidence more. And he's made a lot of plays. He's definitely earned that. He's a good player."
Diehards Line:Adams is a red-zone monster, leading the NFL in TD receptions, and despite missing two games, finished second in catches with 115 and fifth in yards with 1,374. Meanwhile, Ramsey was the league's top corner, ranking first in receptions allowed when targeted, allowed the fewest yards, and was tied for sixth in TDs given up. Heading into Saturday's showdown, we expect to see Ramsey matched up with Adams every time he's aligned out wide. The question is how much the Rams corner will follow the wideout into the slot, where he does a lot of his damage, especially in the red zone. Adams aligned in the slot on 29.9 percent of his routes this season (highest for Adams in the last five seasons). He generated an 83.6 reception percent on slot targets this season (2nd-highest in NFL, minimum 25 slot targets). Seven of his 18 receiving TD came when aligned in the slot this season (3rd-most in NFL). On the flip side, Ramsey has aligned in the slot on 16.3 percent of defensive snaps this season, including playoffs, per Next Gen Stats. It's by far the most Ramsey has played in the slot in his career, but still suggests he hardly ventures there. Still, even if the Rams defense dictates Ramsey doesn't always follow Adams to the slot, we still should see plenty of two of the NFL's best at what they do go head-to-head Saturday in Green Bay.
