The NFL schedule has been released, and we are one step closer to the start of the 2024 season.
How does this schedule impact the fantasy football landscape? Which players have it the easiest and hardest? Which 14 teams will make the NFL playoffs? How about an early look at the 2025 draft order?
Before going into the analysis, it's important to note that Week 18 is included in the fantasy categories since removing it would only have a minor impact on the findings. Also, the strength of schedule evaluation is not based on final 2023 records, which is often what you'll see in this type of column. There already has been a ton of roster movement this offseason and injured players will return to action, so all of that is factored into each team's 2024 prospects. The evaluation of each roster -- not last year's production -- is what is used to generate the easiest and toughest schedules.
This is your next step in preparing for the 2024 NFL and fantasy football seasons. Let's break it all down.
