Asked & answered
Wide receiver schedules, answered straight.
How much should wide receivers schedule move my draft board?
Less than you would like it to. Schedule is a rating of a team's opponents across a full season, and opponents change: a defense that ranked near the bottom last year can be league average by October. Treat it as the reason to break a tie between two wide receivers you rate the same, not as the reason to move one over a player you rate higher.
What does a rating of 1 or 5 actually mean?
The scale runs 1 to 5 across all 32 teams. 1 is the toughest full-season slate for wide receivers and 5 is the easiest. On this page 2 teams hold a 5, 10 teams hold a 4, 9 teams hold a 3, 10 teams hold a 2, 1 team holds a 1.
Which wide receivers does each rating apply to?
Every row lists the wide receivers FantasyPros has on that team's depth chart, in their order, so the rating is attached to named players rather than left abstract. Depth moves with camp, trades and injuries, so check it against your league's roster before you lean on it.
