Strength of schedule is one of the biggest variables in fantasy football, but it gets considered significantly more often during the regular season than on draft day.
That's especially true when it comes to factoring in the defenders that each wide receiver will see in coverage. Thanks to a new age of player tracking, we have a better handle than ever before on these wide receiver/cornerback matchups and, with a little legwork, we can apply that knowledge to season-long fantasy leagues (as opposed to just DFS).
Fortunately for you, I've done that legwork, which included a thorough examination of each team's cornerback depth chart. I ranked each unit by focusing primarily on each team's top three corners (offenses had three wide receivers on the field for 71 percent of pass plays last season). Also taken into consideration were the talent and pedigree of each team's additional depth at the position.
