"The 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 four skill positions (quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end). Instead of relying upon seasonal 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 is unfavorable. Additionally, remember teams often use multiple running backs and wide receivers in a game, and these plus/minus averages cover all of a team's personnel at that position."
Matchup rankings provide a schedule-independent method to evaluate weekly positional matchups by ranking all 32 opposing defenses from most to least favorable at quarterback, running back, wide receiver and tight end. Points-allowed data are calibrated to account for the difficulty of each defense's schedule, creating a fairer comparison of individual matchups. Adjusted fantasy points allowed (Adj. FPA) measures how far above or below a defense held opponents compared with weekly PPR averages; positive values indicate favorable matchups and negative values indicate unfavorable ones. Matchups are one component of start/sit decisions; favorable or unfavorable matchups should not be the sole determinant.
