"The matchup rankings provide a schedule-independent method to evaluate positional matchups each week, ranking all 32 opposing defenses in order of most to least favorable for opposing players at all four skill positions (quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end). Instead of relying upon season totals, we calibrate points-allowed data to show how each defense fared relative to the difficulty of the schedule it has faced. This provides a more fair approach to judging the quality of individual matchups."
""Adj. FPA," or adjusted fantasy points allowed, reflects how far above or below players' weekly PPR fantasy point averages that defense held opponents at that position. A positive number means that the matchup is favorable; a negative number means it's unfavorable. Additionally, remember teams often use multiple running backs and wide receivers in a game, and these plus/minus averages cover all of a team's personnel at that position."
Matchup rankings offer a schedule-independent way to evaluate weekly positional matchups by ranking each defense from most to least favorable for quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. Points-allowed data are calibrated to account for the difficulty of opponents, producing a fairer measure than raw season totals. Adjusted fantasy points allowed (Adj. FPA) shows how far above or below a defense held opponents' weekly PPR averages at a given position, with positive values indicating favorable matchups. The plus/minus averages aggregate production across a team's personnel at each position. Matchups should inform but not solely determine start/sit decisions; use full weekly rankings for final calls.
