The strength of an opponent can change in the blink of an eye, either due to an injury to a key player, or at this point of the season, a trade that improves or worsens a team. On defense, teams like the Bears and 49ers improved their pass rush by raiding Washington, while the Bills added a key cornerback, the Seahawks added a big presence to the middle of their line, the Eagles added talent at safety, and the Commanders, Packers, Giants and Titans all took a step back on defense to improve their draft pick stock moving forward.
Each offseason, Hall of Fame Fantasy analyst Dave Richard dissects how the schedule affects players on each team at each key position in Fantasy to help identify value picks that could outperform draft stock as well as potential busts who could struggle either early or throughout the year. His method results in PSoS, or Projected Strength of Schedule rankings. For the first time, Dave is bringing that mentality to in-season analysis of the schedule for SportsLine.
Each week, Dave will take a look at how the schedule affects every Fantasy relevant player for the upcoming four weeks, the playoff stretch and the entire season. Those rankings will be shared by position so you can see exactly how easy or challenging a potential waiver wire or trade target has it in the short- and long-term compared to the rest of the league. Dave will has a number of key takeaways from his rankings each week to help you think about the roster moves that could help win your league.
