How to use the SoS matrix
- Plan your fantasy playoff push — focus on players with easy weeks 15-17.
- Identify streaming candidates — DEF/QB streamers with cushy 2-3 week stretches.
- Trade timing — sell players entering a hard 4-week stretch, buy after.
- Bye week planning — coordinate roster moves around teams with multi-week soft slates.
Methodology
SoS ratings are based on opponent points allowed per game weighted by position. 1 = easiest matchup (10th-percentile defense), 10 = toughest (90th-percentile). Ratings recalculate weekly as defensive performance updates.
