Kyren Williams (Los Angeles Rams) – A league-winner in 2023, Kyren Williams is still being discounted in 2024. The addition of Blake Corum factors into that, but Williams was the second-best running back in fantasy football last season in fantasy points per game. Additionally, Sean McVay prefers to…

2024 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB
There is certainly no shortage of analytics and data available to fantasy football enthusiasts. One of the most useful tools available to the well-prepared fantasy drafter is to break down the strength of schedule for each position. FullTime Fantasy‘s 2024 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB looks at the most crucial position to give you a draft-day edge. There is also a lot of strength of schedule analysis out there, but FullTime Fantasy breaks down the data in a unique way. In addition to season-long data, FullTime Fantasy Members get access to all positions including IDP. Also, the data can be sorted by remaining games and broken down into sections. This can be especially helpful for high-stakes and tournament drafters looking for the edge during the fantasy playoffs. Here is a deep dive into the 2024 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB and how to take advantage of that data this draft season. The numbers listed include Weeks 1-17. Favorable Schedules Brock Purdy (San Francisco 49ers) – After finishing as the QB in 2023, Brock Purdy is one of the most undervalued players in fantasy football. Purdy is a perfect fit in Kyle Shanahan’s offense. He led the NFL in yards per attempt and has one of the top supporting casts in football. Purdy has won 17 of his 21 career regular-season starts and oddsmakers expect that success to continue. San Francisco is projected to repeat as NFC champions and the 2024 NFL schedule sets up very favorably. In addition to six games against their defensively-challenged NFC West rivals, San Francisco’s second-half schedule has matchups against bottom-10 secondaries in Tampa, Miami, and Detroit. Also, that fantasy playoff slate versus the Dolphins and Lions looks appealing in tournament leagues. Dak Prescott (Dallas Cowboys) – There are myriad reasons to be concerned about Dak Prescott and the Dallas passing game peaking last season. However, if the Cowboys contend with top-5 offensive numbers again, their easy quarterback schedule will play a big role. After a challenging start, Prescott should thrive in the second half of the 2024 slate. Starting in Week 9, Dallas plays four consecutive games versus opponents that were below average in terms of ceding fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Additionally, the Cowboys have a phenomenal fantasy playoff stretch, including a home game against a Tampa defense that allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to the position and a fantasy finale in Philadelphia versus an Eagles’ secondary that surrendered the second-most. Sounds like an over/under north of 50 points. Just what the fantasy doctors ordered. Caleb Williams (Chicago Bears) – The Bears have never had a quarterback exceed 4,000 passing yards or throw for 30 touchdowns in a season. Enter No. 1 overall pick Caleb Williams, one of the most heralded QB prospects in recent years. Williams threw for 4,537 yards and 42 scores en route to 2022 Heisman honors at USC. Williams is an accurate gunslinger who will give Matt Eberflus and the Bears a legitimate shot at challenging franchise records in both categories right away. Chicago is stacked with weapons, including WRs D.J. Moore, Keenan Allen, Rome Odunze, and RB D’Andre Swift. And Chicago’s schedule sets up well for Williams to post fantasy-relevant numbers immediately. The Bears have six games against opponents that ranked inside the bottom 7 in points allowed to QBs last season. Also, both of the team’s fantasy postseason tilts against Detroit and Seattle’s subpar secondaries will be in Chicago. Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) – Last season, FullTime Fantasy’s strength of schedule analysis helped predict Jordan Love’s breakout. In 2024, Love again has an intriguing slate of games that indicate he won’t be a flash in the pan. The Packers get those six games against the weak NFC North secondaries. However, they also play the Chargers, Cardinals, Texans, Jaguars, Dolphins, and Seahawks. Each team was below average in allowing fantasy points to quarterbacks last season. Additionally, one thing that always needs to be factored into Green Bay’s schedule is the weather. Starting in Week 9, the Packers have six games that winter conditions could impact. Still, Love looked like the real deal in 2023 and will contend for top-10 fantasy numbers in his second season as the starter. Patrick Mahomes (Kansas City Chiefs) – When all is said and done, I believe Patrick Mahomes will be my QB1 for 2024. While last year was a bit of a struggle, Kansas City’s offseason additions, Josh Allen’s offseason losses, and KC’s schedule are indicative of a huge rebound for the league’s top signal caller. Expect the new offense to get out to a fast start. After a potentially tough opener, the Chiefs play three consecutive games versus opponents who were in the bottom 12 against the pass last season. Mahomes also gets to face the NFC South and has a tantalizing three-game home stretch starting in Week 13 against the Raiders. Xavier Worthy and Hollywood Brown are both huge upgrades for a Chiefs’ passing attack that was rather stagnant in 2023 without a downfield speed element. Plus, the seventh-easiest fantasy schedule for Mahomes sets up nicely for the two-time defending champs. Other schedules to target: J.J McCarthy (3rd), Bryce Young 5th), Lamar Jackson (8th) Difficult Schedules Tua Tagovailoa (Miami Dolphins) – Last summer, the concerns about Tua Tagovailoa were health-related. However, Tagovailoa stayed healthy for the first time in his career and led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards. While that was a huge plus, Tagovailoa only ranked 20th in fantasy points per game and offers nothing as a runner. Those are legitimate concerns at a QB position that is as deep as it’s ever been. Additionally, the schedule makers didn’t do the Dolphins any favors in 2024. Miami has the league’s hardest schedule for the QB position. The Dolphins have six games against the Jets (2nd), Bills (5th), and Patriots (8th) elite secondaries. Additionally, Miami’s fantasy playoff slate is imposing. In Week 16, the Dolphins host the defending NFC champions who ranked sixth against

The numbers listed include Weeks 1-17.
Favorable Schedules
Chris Olave & Michael Thomas (New Orleans Saints) – Playing six games in the NFC South certainly doesn’t hurt for the underrated New Orleans Saints receiving corps. QB Derek Carr should be a big improvement over Andy Dalton. Plus, Carr has a notable history of peppering his No. 1 wideout with targets. That should be a boon for sophomore Chris Olave, who already ranked 10th in the league with a 29.3% target rate in 2022.
Michael Thomas was also off to a fast start before succumbing to another season-ending injury. When healthy, Thomas remains an elite pass catcher. While his fantasy football ADP has started to creep up, Thomas remains an excellent value pick to target in drafts.
For Thomas and Olave, expect a fast start and finish. New Orleans has the second-easiest schedule for wide receivers in Weeks 1-5 and again from Weeks 11-15. Also…

Favorable Schedules
Javonte Williams & Samaje Perine (Denver Broncos) – Because there is uncertainty on the health of Javonte Williams’s surgically-repaired knee, drafting both Denver running backs is an easily attainable strategy. Snagging Williams first, then handcuffing Perine would give fantasy drafters the most favorable schedule for running backs in 2023.
Of course, this approach offers plenty of risk. Williams tore multiple ligaments last fall. Meanwhile, Perine has never had an extended run as a starter. However, selecting both players in the new Sean Payton offense offers plenty of fantasy potential.
Plus, Denver gets an appealing slate of games to accrue that production. The Broncos get four games against opponents that…

2023 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB
There is certainly no shortage of analytics and data available to fantasy football enthusiasts. One of the most useful tools available to the well-prepared fantasy drafter is to break down the strength of schedule for each position. FullTime’s 2023 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB looks at the most crucial position to give you a draft-day edge. There is also a lot of strength of schedule analysis out there, but FullTime Fantasy breaks down the data in a unique way. In addition to season-long data, FullTime Fantasy Members get access to all positions including IDP. Also, the data can be sorted by remaining games and broken down into sections. This can be especially helpful for high-stakes and tournament drafters looking for the edge during the fantasy playoffs. Here is a deep dive into the 2023 Fantasy Football Strength of Schedule: QB and how to take advantage of that data this draft season. The numbers listed include Weeks 1-17. Favorable Schedules Jordan Love (Green Bay Packers) – In his first year as Green Bay’s starter, Love is a bit of a polarizing fantasy option. However, the Packers’ schedule sets up nicely for Love to make an immediate positive impact. Thanks to their six games against the defense-challenged NFC North and four more with AFC West, Love gets the easiest schedule of any starting quarterback. 10 of Green Bay’s 17 games come against opponents who ranked in the bottom 10 last season in fantasy points allowed to QBs. This includes five of the final seven contests. Also, Love avoids the frozen tundra of Lambeau Field during the crucial fantasy playoffs. Derek Carr (New Orleans Saints) – Carr has always been a middling fantasy option with only one QB1 finish in his career. However, he enters a good situation in New Orleans. The Saints have some talented young skill-position players and play the league’s easiest overall schedule. For fantasy purposes, Carr will enjoy 10 straight indoor games. The Saints’ only outdoor road trip after October is a Week 17 trip to Tampa. Carr should rack up some useful stats in Weeks 12-17 when New Orleans plays six straight against opponents who were below average against the pass. Bryce Young (Carolina Panthers) – There is no doubt that the No. 1 overall pick will start from Day One. However, it is possible that Young could prove to be a better fantasy option than many are projecting. Not only will the rebuilding Panthers see plenty of favorable game scripts, but Bryce Young and company also get the league’s third-easiest slate for a quarterback. The Panthers get 10 games against the fledgling pass defenses employed by their AFC South and NFC South rivals. In addition to those games, Young also gets the Bears, Lions, and Vikings, who all ranked in the bottom-7 in allowing fantasy points to opposing passers. With this slate, Young has a good chance of posting fantasy-relevant stats in his freshman campaign, making him a solid QB2. Justin Fields (Chicago Bears) – The Bears made several moves to revamp the supporting cast around phenom QB Justin Fields. The most important acquisition was trading from standout wide receiver D.J. Moore. Those additions should prove to pay immediate dividends as the Bears boast the fourth-easiest fantasy schedule for quarterbacks in 2023. Starting in Week 10, Fields gets to play a bottom-12 fantasy pass defense in six of seven games. This includes home dates against the Cardinals and Falcons during the playoffs slate of Weeks 16 and 17. With modest progression as a passer, Fields could contend for top-5 fantasy stats. And the 2023 schedule makers did the third-year signal caller some major favors. Justin Herbert (Los Angeles Chargers) – I’ve had Justin Herbert as my locked-in QB4 all off-season. Herbert and his supporting cast were banged up last season, so there was a dropoff in his play. However, he still managed to throw for a career-high 4,739 yards. Now healthy, and bolstered by the addition of offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, I’m expecting Herbert to revert back to his sophomore season where he posted top-3 fantasy numbers. A small piece of that optimism lies with the NFL schedule makers. Herbert and the Chargers get the No. 6 schedule* for fantasy QBs. Although the slate ends roughly in the fantasy postseason, Herbert should get off to a fast start playing two of the league’s worst two secondaries before their Week 5 bye. After that, LA gets four more games against opponents that ranked inside the bottom 10 in terms of fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks last season. *Desmond Ridder and the Falcons have the No. 5 schedule. Difficult Schedules Kyler Murray (Arizona Cardinals) – Murray is already a fade this season due to his lingering knee injury. Murray is expected to miss a significant chunk of the 2023 campaign. Also, the rebuilding Cardinals may be in no hurry to rush back their star quarterback in what projects to be a lost season. Not helping matters for the Cardinals will be a rough slate of games. Whether it’s Murray, Colt McCoy, or Clayton Tune under center, Arizona plays the toughest schedule for quarterbacks in 2023. Additionally, the Cards are currently projected to have the worst record in the league. Plus, the offense will also be without DeAndre Hopkins. This is a situation to avoid in redraft. Daniel Jones (New York Giants) – Fresh off a surprising QB9 finish last season, a lot of fantasy managers view Daniel Jones as a relatively safe QB1. However, an inordinate amount of Jones’s value came via 708 rushing yards. Before that, Jones had not eclipsed 423 yards on the ground. Nor has he ever passed for 4,000 yards and has only one campaign with 20 TD strikes. Additionally, the 2023 schedule could complicate things for Jones. New York plays the second-toughest slate for quarterbacks this season. The Giants play 13 games against teams that ranked 16th or higher in terms of limiting fantasy points to QBs last season. Also,
