   So the Cardinals have the easiest schedule?

   This means when using Strength of Schedule as a projector we must use this list from the bottom up.

   Thanks for the info Rustyn

     Yes, Cards and Rams have the softest schedules, and Titans/Texans the toughest

       I find that using the opponents stats against the rush or pass (as opposed to defense in general) better serves fantasy purposes. So I will look at how, say, the Titans and Vikings schedules stack up against the rush defenses of their 16 opponents if I am looking at drafting either Chris Johnson or AP. That could be quite different than the overall defensive number.
       However, I don’t use these numbers until after about the fifth week of the season. That’s when you can see trends in defenses throughout the league. Basing defensive preferences upon the previous season is a stretch because so many things change form year to year.
       That’s why last year I targeted Jerome Harrison in trades and the waiver wire, as I saw the Browns were facing two of the worst rush defenses in the fantasy playoff weeks.

         no doubt man.. this is sound advice. But since we’re not 5 weeks into the season all we got is this.
