Saints top 2026 NFL schedule as two-method analysis shows mixed ease and hard slates
Two methods analyze the 2026 schedule: 2025 opponent win percentage and Sharp Football’s projected 2026 opponent win percentages. Combined results crown the Saints as having the easiest slate, with the Browns and Bengals also favorable; Dolphins and Cardinals appear toughest, with Bears ranked hardest in the composite view. The analysis hints at fantasy implications for players like Tyler Shough, Travis Etienne Jr., Chris Olave, Jordan Tyson, and Ja’Marr Chase, while cautioning that schedules shift year to year and should not be the sole driver of fantasy decisions.
