Fantasy: Buy low on Stewart, sell high on Lynch based on matchups

With the start of the fantasy football playoffs looming on the horizon in many leagues, many fantasy owners are going through the process of trying to improve their team's postseason chances.

A main element of this is reviewing schedules to find which players have the most favorable matchups (and thus should be trade targets) and which have the most difficult matchups (and thus are players to trade away).

To assist with this process, this week's Fantasy Foresight will review the relative schedule strength (SOS) of running backs for Weeks 10-17 (with an emphasis on the playoff time frame from Weeks 13-16). Red-rated matchups indicate an opponent with a tough run defense that should be avoided, while green-rated matchups indicate a highly favorable rush defense.

Here's a look at teams with the most- or least-favorable remaining SOS for running backs, followed by a list of the best buy-low and sell-high RB candidates.
