A fantasy football strength of schedule cheat sheet has been released, breaking down each team's remaining schedule for the rest of the season.
The tool ranks opponent difficulty by allowing fantasy points to quarterback, running back, wide receiver, tight end, defense and special teams, and kicker positions. It is designed to aid waiver wire, trade decisions, and weekly lineup decisions.
Two key metrics are included. "YTD" reflects schedule difficulty thus far. "ROS" measures schedule difficulty moving forward through Week 17. Lower numbers, shown in green, indicate easier matchups. Higher numbers, shown in red, signal harder matchups.
The strength of schedule data has already been factored into weekly projections. A PDF cheat sheet is available for a more detailed position-by-position view.
