I know it's early, but one thing I always do when considering a trade or any roster move, is what kind of teams will they be facing during my league's playoffs.
Here are some easy and difficult matchups in playoff weeks:
Week 14
Favorable:
Minnesota (@ Det.)
Cincinnati (home vs. Oak)
Tennessee (@Houston)
Green Bay (@SF)
San Francisco (home vs. GB)
Seattle (@Ariz.)
Tough matchup
Kansas City (home vs. Balt.)
Indianapolis (@ Jacksonville)
St. Louis (home vs. Chi.)
Week 15
Favorable
Seattle (home vs. SF)
Detroit (@GB)
Jacksonville (@Tenn.)
Denver (@Az.)
St. Louis (@Oak)
Tough matchup
Tampa Bay (@Chi.)
Chicago (home vs. TB)
Kansas City (@SD)
Week 16
Favorable
Minnesota (@GB)
Kansas City(@Oak.)
Tampa Bay (@Cleve)
Indianapolis (@Hou.)
Buffalo (home vs. Tenn.)
Tough matchup
Baltimore (@Pitt.)
Pittsburgh (home vs. Balt.)
Detroit (home vs. Chi.)
Seattle(home vs. SD)
SUMMARY- One thing that sticks out is Kansas City's schedule. If your playoffs are weeks 14 and 15, you have a tough road to the championship. If you can get there, you have Oakland as a reward. Seattle has a nice playoff schedule, with two easy matchups.
Indy owners will be rewarded with a Houston matchup in championship week. Viking owners have an easy road, as well.
I hope this is helpful.
