NFLs 2026 Schedule Unveiled: Strength-of-Schedule Metrics Debunked The NFLs 2026 schedule is out, revealing exact dates and days for every matchup. Fantasy managers now have the weeks, sparking discussions on strength-of-schedule metrics based on last years points allowed per position. However, the gaps are minimal, with under two points for quarterbacks between the best and worst slates. Players like Derrick Henry and Dak Prescott prove that schedules dont dictate everything. Targets and team changes matter more than schedule difficulty. Defenses flip scripts year to year, making preseason projections less reliable. Skip overhyping strength-of-schedule for drafts, but stack bye weeks smart and eye dome games for late-season edges. Fantasys too wild for last years stats to run the show.
