NFL:
How does schedule strength influence rostering decisions in shallow leagues vs deep formats for these defenses?
Qwiket AI:
In shallow leagues, schedule strength matters, but owners should avoid overpaying for a top defense before Week 1. The Broncos’ early schedule supports a late-round stab rather than a day-one grab. In deeper formats, Cardinals and Rams become appealing as Week 1-2 streamers with upside if talent translates quickly. The Patriots also fit as a late-round speculative pick in deep leagues, offering a broader defensive-playbook upside later in the season.
