A frequent mantra this time of year is that big-time players make big-time plays in big-time games. That is exactly what every fantasy owner is looking for in the championship round. But they haven't been able to count on that from many of the elite wideouts in fantasy football this season.

Just look at some of the recent examples: Randy Moss (one point in Week 14); Larry Fitzgerald (three points in Week 12 and two points in Week 14); and Roddy White (four points in Week 14 and three points in Week 15).

The best medicine for this kind of slump is a favorable matchup, and that's what this week's Cornerback Corner will focus on -- big-name wideouts who should score big-time points against underperforming opponents.

To read K.C.'s list of four slumping wideouts due to hit it big in Week 16, plus one other secondary worth targeting, you must be an ESPN Insider.
