The National Football League has released its 2025 regular-season schedule, so we now know the matchups we'll be looking at during the course of the fantasy football campaign. More importantly, we can now project which teams will have the best and worst matchups during the most vital time of the year for fantasy fans ... the fantasy football postseason (Weeks 15-17).
I’ve included two charts to determine the teams with the best and worst schedules. The first chart shows the total number of fantasy points the opposing defenses allowed in 2024. That includes points surrendered to all quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers and tight ends. So, the higher the point total listed, the more favorable the schedule for players on that team.
The second chart is based on EPA (Expected Points Added) Per Play from a season ago. Once again, the teams that face the defenses with the highest combined EPA will have, in theory, the most favorable matchups during the fantasy postseason. I wouldn’t use these totals as the be all end all in terms of an increase or decrease in a player’s draft value, but it can be a useful guide when making decisions between players with otherwise similar draft value.
