In Weeks 15 to 17, we need to know who has the best and worst fantasy playoff schedules. The matchups are on paper for now, but we can already begin to think ahead to the fantasy postseason. Just because a player has a good or bad fantasy playoff schedule, that doesn't mean we need to make any rash decisions. We're just planning ahead!
Throughout each football season, there are peaks and valleys for each team. A franchise that shines over the first half of the year could very well limp home down the stretch due to injuries or regression in play.
At the same time, other teams will jell, leading to an uptick in wins, offense, or defensive results. The challenge in the fantasy market is figuring out if there are some favorable matchups to exploit late in the season when league championships are won.
Best Fantasy Playoff Schedules
New York Jets
As the start of the season approaches for the Jets, Joe Flacco lines up open the year as their quarterback. New York hopes Zach Wilson misses minimal games while developing into an upper-tier passer. The structure of their receiving corps offers sneaky upside, and Breece Hall looks poised to be a stud runner. The Jets face Detroit and Jacksonville at home in Week 15 and 16 before traveling to Seattle in Week 17. All three defenses have ranked poorly (21st, 26th, and 27th) in fantasy points allowed in PPR formats in 2021. The Lions and Jaguars should be much better offensively this season, hopefully leading to some high-scoring games for New York. In addition, the Jets allowed the most combined fantasy points in the league to quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers, and tight ends.
Possible targets: Breece Hall, Elijah Moore, Corey Davis, Garrett Wilson
