Using our rules for our money leagues, we came up with a schedule strength ranking for the quarterback position. We are using our fantasy defenses report to calculate the rankings. This report can be found in all of our leagues under the "reports" heading. We took the schedule of each team and entered the average number of fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks last season from all of their opponents to get our fantasy points allowed number. This is a good indication of the quarterbacks with the most favorable schedules for fantasy scoring for the coming season.
The results show Cam Newton could be primed for a rebound season. He played hurt last year and gets the second easiest schedule for quarterbacks. Drew Brees is another quarterback looking good. He keeps producing and had a schedule to keep up his great fantasy ways. And Jamies Winston seems primed to take another step forward this season with a very favorable schedule. On the flipside, Andrew Luck and Derek Carr were two of the best last year but could have a hard time repeating. Both face top-five schedules this season for fantasy quarterbacks. Both could have a few more struggles than usual for them.
Take a close look at this entire ranking when figuring out your fantasy rankings for the coming season.
