Playoff Schedule Strength

Weeks 15-17 — the weeks that decide most fantasy seasons — ranked by how much each opponent gave up to QBs in 2025. Rank 1 faces the most generous defences.

Read this first. These are 2025-season defensive ratings applied to this season's schedule. Defences change through injury, scheme, and regression, so this is a rough guide, not a forecast — a tiebreaker between players you already rate closely, never a reason to reach. Why, in one lesson →
