2026 Schedule
2026 Strength of Schedule
Methodology
Strength of schedule for a team at a position is the average fantasy PPG that the team's 2026 opponents allowed to that position last season. Higher = easier schedule.
Numbers will shift as 2026 games play. Defensive personnel, scheme changes, and bye-week scheduling all move SoS during the year. We refresh daily so the current view always reflects the latest data and remaining schedule.
