For example, the Pittsburgh Steelers allowed an average of 25.6 fantasy points per game to opposing running backs overall last season. However, their defense was tougher at home (22.3 PPG allowed) than on the road (29.2 PPG allowed). Therefore, a road runner who faces the Steelers at Heinz Field receives 22.3 points. On the flip side, a back who faces Pittsburgh at home receives 29.2 points. This goes a step deeper than typical FPA analysis, which is based on a combined average of the home and road numbers. The bigger the overall point total per team, the easier the projected schedule.
Fantasy Strength of Schedule: QB | RB | WR | TE
