Strength of Schedule
Schedule strength matters most for trades and the fantasy playoffs. For this week specifically, see Weekly Rankings

Win your season → The EdgeThe EdgeEvery team you draft from carries an entire 18-week schedule of defenses behind them, and the slate is rarely fair. This report lays out the full grid (32 teams down, 18 weeks across). Each cell shows the average fantasy points per game that week's opponent defense has allowed to the position you've selected, under the scoring system you choose (FanDuel, DraftKings, or a custom preset) — the higher the number, the more generous the matchup. Cells are color-tiered from Smash Spot (opponent allows the most) to Tough Sledding (the fewest), based on where that defense ranks league-wide.
The Season and Playoff columns on the right average those per-game figures across the full season and across your fantasy-playoff window — they're fantasy points per game allowed, not a 1-to-32 rank, so a higher number means an easier slate. Drag the slider to define your league's fantasy-playoff weeks (default W15–W17), and the Playoff column recomputes instantly. Click any matchup cell to see the opponent's exact figure, its league rank, and how the tier was derived.
Pair it with defense fantasy points against to see the raw per-position numbers feeding the colors, or check rankings when you're deciding between two players with similar projections.

Which NFL teams have the easiest fantasy playoff schedule?
League Station's SOS grid maps each team's 2027 opponents to the average fantasy points per game each defense allows at the selected position, then colors every week by tier (Smash Spot / Favorable / Neutral / Tough Sledding) based on where that defense ranks league-wide. The Season and Playoff columns average those per-game figures across the full season and a slider-controlled fantasy-playoff window — a higher figure means an easier slate — so you can sort the most generous playoff schedules instantly.
