"Our 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 skill positions (quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end). Instead of relying on 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 fairer 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. Also, remember that teams often use multiple running backs and wide receivers in a game, and these plus/minus averages cover a team's personnel at that position."
Matchup rankings offer a schedule-independent system to evaluate weekly positional matchups, ranking all 32 opposing defenses 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 each defense's schedule, producing adjusted fantasy points allowed (Adj. FPA) that measure deviation from weekly PPR averages. Positive Adj. FPA denotes favorable matchups and negative denotes unfavorable matchups. Plus/minus averages reflect team personnel because multiple running backs and receivers are often used. Matchups are one component of a broader start/sit decision process.
