INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA - NOVEMBER 28: Jonathan Taylor #28 of the Indianapolis Colts warms up before the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers at Lucas Oil Stadium on November 28, 2022 in Indianapolis, Indiana. The fantasy playoffs aren’t far away, so it’s time to cook up the best and worst running back schedules moving forward. Before you consider and consume this list, a bunch of caveats:
This is merely a rank of the schedules — it does NOT consider the strength of each team's offensive running attack. Just becausehas a challenging schedule and Baltimore has a favorable one does not mean you'd ever bench a healthy Jacobs forI did not put any extra weight into home and away scheduling. You’ll have to season that yourself.
When it came to weighing the rushing defenses, I put much more emphasis on recent performance. I did not put any extra emphasis on when the teams played specific opponents. Maybe you have a bye locked up and Week 15 is irrelevant to you. And obviously, if you lose early in the playoffs, no Week 17 daisy matchup will save you.
It's a list to consider for fun, and for breaking ties, and for dreaming of what's hopefully a December to remember.
