After a long wait leading up until August, it has felt like this final month of the NFL offseason has gone by in the blink of an eye. Actual action on the football field, trades, free-agent additions, and loading up on all of the final fantasy football drafts will likely do that. Through that whirlwind, it’s likely you’re staring at some teams that need some quarterback help. Maybe you waited just a touch too long to select your signal-caller, or maybe the fact that you’re looking a difficult matchup square in the face makes you want to scrape the waiver wire for a better option.

For streaming purposes, 4for4’s Schedule-Adjusted Fantasy Points Allowed (aFPA) is a metric we rely heavily on to determine weekly matchup strength. As the season progresses and more data is available, aFPA becomes more and more reliable, using rolling 10-week data. Targets and efficiency metrics are also considered when choosing weekly streamers.

To provide the advice you can implement, candidates for streaming must be rostered in no more than 40% of Yahoo! fantasy leagues.
