Let me start off by saying that this 2018 Strength of Schedule guide should be used directionally. These rankings were developed based off of last year’s IDP Points Allowed by Position and team’s offenses obviously change (for better or worse) over the course of an off-season through free agent signings, coaching changes, scheme changes, rookie additions, etc.

I prefer to use this tool when I’m stuck between two very similar IDPs during the draft and can’t decide which one to choose (i.e. as a tiebreaker). This has worked very well for me in the past and I expect it to continue to work very well in the future.

Rankings go from 1-32 with 1 being the most favorable schedule for that position and 32 being the least favorable schedule for that position.
