Week 3 Fantasy Football projected strength of schedule: Ranking every position by upcoming opponents
Fantasy Hall of Famer Dave Richard dives into how critical factors in the upcoming schedule affect Fantasy leagues
In Fantasy football, which team a player is up against often plays as big a role as the skill of that player. Josh Allen is a perennial MVP candidate, as long as he's not playing the Jets. Tee Higgins will catch a ton of passes this year but potentially none against the Browns.
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.
