[wysija_form id=”1″]Another useful strategy for the 2015 fantasy football campaign, would be to evaluate each individual players strength of schedule. Yes it’s a lot of work, but, don’t worry I got exactly what you need.
The strength of schedule chart used in this article can be found here: Team by Team Strength of Schedule by Position
Quarterbacks
Jameis Winston-QB-TB
He has the easiest schedule of all QB’s in the NFL. However, that may end up being negated by the fact that Winston is a rookie. When you have never seen a NFL defense before, even the worst of them look pretty good.
Tony Romo-QB-Dal
He has the 2nd easiest schedule of all QBs. I fully expect him to take advantage of a light schedule and have a big year. He has been in the league a long time and has one of the best WRs in the league, a good pick in your draft just got better.
Matt Ryan-QB-Atl
Coming off what was one of the worst years of his career. Matt Ryan catches a break as he gets the 5th easiest schedule amongst QBs. With a target like Julio Jones looming out there for him to get the ball to you have to expect a better season from Matt Ryan.
Running backs
Jonathan Stewart-RB-Car
He has the easiest schedule of all RBs in the league this year. He has a legitimate chance at a career year if he can stay healthy. A very high workload mixed with a very easy schedule, makes it hard not to like that J Stew this year.
Arian Foster-RB-Hou
Foster has the 3rd easiest schedule amongst RBs. Foster is the type of guy that can dominate regardless of how easy or hard his schedule is. I would imagine with one of the easiest schedules he has seen in his career, he may explode this year.

Mark Ingram-RB-No
Reports out of New Orleans say they want to put more of a focus on the running game. This is a good year for that, as they have the 5th easiest schedule amongst RBs. A career year may be on tap for Mark Ingram.
Wide receivers
Mike Evans-WR-Tb
Much like his QB, he has the easiest schedule amongst WRs. This is a good opportunity for him to explode, much like he did last year. I like the chances of Mike Evans taking advantage of this situation.
Julio Jones-WR-Atl
He has the 2nd easiest schedule of all WRs. Just to make sure we understand each other, this man is a beast. He has the 2nd easiest schedule of WRs and His QB has the 5th easiest schedule of QBs. This is a combination for big things,when you have a talent of this level.
Brandin Cooks-WR-No
He has the 3rd easiest schedule amongst WRs, he is the new number 1 target for Drew Brees, so volume should be there. Combined that with the 3rd easiest schedule amongst WRs and he can breakout this year.
Tightends
Zach Ertz-TE-Phi
I know he disappointed most of us last season, but, there are factors this year that point to a big season. The departure of Jeremy Maclin will open up targets for him. He can be the most targeted option on the Eagles this year. He also has the 2nd easiest schedule amongst TEs.
Charles Clay-TE-Buf
Charles Clay has the 3rd easiest schedule for TE’s. He has always been consistent, but, this year we may watch him break out. As this small ball buffalo offense should feature the TE.
Kyle Rudolph-TE-Min
I have been trying to keep all these guys inside the top 5 as far as easiest schedules go. But, sometimes teams don’t have good TEs and no matter what the schedule dictates their skill will hold them back.
Rudolph has the 6th easiest schedule of TEs, but, is easily more talented than other options at the position.Teddy Bridgewater should take the next step this season. I’m expecting Rudolph to return to fantasy relevance.
