2016 Fantasy Football: Quarterback Matchup Chart





By Chet Gresham – @ChetGresham
Follow @walterfootball for updates.

Each week, I will provide our loyal readers with a matchup chart for each NFL position.

Check out the other positions so far: Running Back | Wide Receiver | Tight End

My method is to rank each defense in different categories and then average those rankings into a single ranking. So below, you will see how well defenses performed against quarterbacks based on completion percentage allowed, passing yards allowed, touchdown passes allowed and so on and so forth. Remember, the numbers are how they ranked in that category. The higher the ranking the worse the defense performed. So as you can see in the chart, N.Y. Jets ranks the worst against quarterbacks and Denver the best so far this season.
