What is (SOS) Strength of Schedule?
Our Strength of Schedule (SOS) rankings are based on last year’s fantasy points (performance scoring) allowed by position. For example if you look at QB’s: we factor completions/attempts, yards, TD’s, points/game, Int’s and fumbles. Once those #s are calculated the teams are ranked from 1-32. Number 1 is the best/easiest schedule and #32 is the hardest schedule. The more often a team faces a soft defense defending the position the better the SOS. To give you an example of how the Strength of Schedule (SOS) works, lets say your 2010 fantasy playoffs run through weeks 14-16 and you want to know what RB has the best chance of putting up good numbers in that stretch. Go to the player rankings page, and then filter on the RB position from the dropdown, change the playoff week dropdown to weeks 14-16 and then look for the players with the lowest numbers in the Playoff SOS Ranking column. Notice that Falcons are listed at #1. ATL faces Car in week #14 – The Panthers finished the 2009 regular
