2014 Fantasy Football RB Strength of Schedule (SOS): Weeks 8 to 16

Before the season began, we created fantasy football strength of schedule (SOS) pages for each position based on last year’s production. Through the season, however, we make weekly updates of our strength of schedule for the remaining games based on what their upcoming opponents have done so far this season.

A player’s fantasy strength of schedule is far from the most important aspect of his outlook. But if you’re debating a pair of players to pick up off the waiver wire (Week 8 waiver-wire post) and they are otherwise comparable in your view, a more favorable fantasy schedule could potentially break the tie.

Five most favorable SOS for RBs (Weeks 8-16):

1. Carolina Panthers (DeAngelo Williams, Jonathan Stewart): 21.46 average fantasy points allowed among remaining opponents
2. Cleveland Browns (Ben Tate, Isaiah Crowell): 20.84
3. Tampa Bay Buccaneers (Doug Martin): 20.22
4. Green Bay Packers (Eddie Lacy): 20.16
5. Baltimore Ravens (Justin Forsett, Bernard Pierce): 19.85
