Strength of Schedule

Every 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.

Two games tell you very little about a defense, so early in a season the rating leans on last year and shifts toward this year as games are played. The line under the grid shows the current split.

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.
