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).
- Nxt3 - The average SOS over the next three weeks.
- Fnl4 - The average SOS over the last four weeks of the regular season.
-
Week-By-Week Outlook
- The relative fantasy points allowed at this position by each team's opponents
for each week of the NFL regular season. Note that the prior opponents are
included as well. This allows you to see what level of competition each
team has faced lately.
-
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).
