Fantasy Index Scheduletron -- strength-of-schedule analysis
Take a closer look at Week 17. Those games won’t count in most fantasy leagues. So play an easy game in that week, and it hurts you in terms of strength of schedule (for fantasy purposes). Play a great defense, like San Francisco, in that week and it's like dodging a bullet.
Winners (or apparent winners, since teams can change) include the Cardinals, Bengals and Browns. They get out of games against the rugged defenses of San Francisco, Baltimore and Pittsburgh.
Losers most notably include Seattle (Rams), Houston (Colts), Packers (Vikings) and Falcons.
The revised strength of schedule appears below, with Week 17 tossed out. This one is based on wins and losses. Teams that improved the most include a plus sign (+). Teams that lost out tagged with a minus sign (-).

Well, we play a 2-week Super Bowl in weeks 16 & 17. So there is a surprising amount of strategy involved in bench management to make sure you can get it done in Week 17 as well...

we play total points from week one through 17.We think its the way it should be.No head to head,.no playoffs untill the nfl plays first wildcard game.That is a new,seperate season for us as it is in the real nfl.Strategy is big time like not starting rogers last season in week 17.
