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.
Why is there no depth list for wide receivers?
FantasyPros publishes wide receivers depth as a separate export we do not hold, so this page shows the schedule rating alone. We would rather show one column short than fill it with a depth chart we did not get from the same source as the rating.
