Fantasy Index Scheduletron -- strength-of-schedule analysis
Arizona projects to play the easiest schedule in the league this year. But it’s not a particularly easy schedule – not in comparison to other easy schedules, anyway.
In comparison with other schedules of the last 15 years, we see 24 that were expected to be easier (this is the on-paper, preseason version for each team).
Arizona’s opponents went a combined 114-142 last year, but in most years, that would be merely a top-5 schedule. There is more balance in the schedules this season.
