Week 12 fantasy projections

Last week, we took one last look at fantasy schedule strengths based on Football Outsiders' defense-adjusted value over average (DVOA) metric (explained here). With many of the buy-low or sell-high options already on team rosters, it was geared more toward leagues in which the trade deadline hadn't passed yet.

To those who felt left out having only the waiver wire at their disposal, give thanks for the bounty I offer you today. What follows are the most favorable and unfavorable schedules from Week 12 to Week 16 for everyone's favorite waiver-wire targets: kickers and defenses. DVOA doesn't translate well to fantasy scoring for these two positions, though, so the rankings in the table below are based on fantasy points allowed.

To read more fantasy advice, including which players you should start and which you should avoid in Week 12, you must be an ESPN Insider.
