Links to in-depth look at the SOS for each position: QB, RB, WR, TE, PK, D/ST,
DL, LB, DB
Key
-
Rem - The average SOS at this position by each team's
opponents for each remaining week of the NFL regular season. The higher
the value, the easier the schedule.
-
Dif - The difference in SOS between the opponents a
team has already played and their remaining opponents. The higher the
value, the easier the remaining schedule (which should translate to
increased production).
-
Re16 - The average SOS at this position by each team's
opponents through week 16 of the NFL regular season. The higher the
value, the easier the schedule.
-
Di16 - The difference in SOS between the opponents a
team has already played and their remaining opponents through week 16.
The higher the value, the easier the remaining schedule (which should
translate to increased production).
-
14-16 - The average SOS at this position by each team's
opponents from week 14 through week 16 of the NFL regular season. The
higher the value, the easier the schedule.
-
15-17 - The average SOS at this position by each team's
opponents from week 15 through week 17 of the NFL regular season. The
higher the value, the easier the schedule.
-
Weekly Outlook - The relative fantasy points allowed
at this position by each team's opponents for each remaining week of
the NFL regular season.
-
Values in red
are the fantasy points allowed by the worst
eight (seven during a bye week) defenders at this position for each
week.
-
Values in blue
are the fantasy points allowed by the best
eight (seven during a bye week) defenders at this position for each
week.
Use the color coding to find stretches of easy
games (where a team could get hot) or difficult
games (where a team could get cold).
