Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule

Now something to pay attention to is the schedule a player is going to face during the season. Are they going to be playing the top ranked defenses or is it going to be a walk through most of the season. Being able to figure that out could be the difference between making the playoffs and getting bounced in the first round and winning the championship. Unfortunately there is no good way to figure out which defense is going to be great and which isn't before the season starts. So I would check back around week 4 when we can start to figure what team is. For now I am using the numbers from last year to try and figure out at a glance which teams look like they have a tough or weak schedule. Use the below at your own risk.

General defense

Green means go as in make the play red is for stop. The darker the color the stronger the play based on last year numbers.
