Can you feel it in the air? It's almost football season. Or, at the very least, it's almost Fantasy football season. We're getting ready to launch our Draft Prep content for the 2018 season, and that should come next week. For now, I want to get you ready for the season by previewing every team. Over the next week, we'll be sending out daily newsletters previewing every team for the 2018 season, starting with a look at the schedule. Dave Richard analyzed every team's schedule, ranking them from easiest to hardest for Fantasy, and he broke down every division as well. This is the start of the path to a championship.

What good is drafting a player if you don't know how good or bad their schedule is?

The Patriots figure to run away with the division, but will they run away with a favorable (and borderline unfair) schedule?

Tough AFC North defenses mean challenging outlooks for AFC North offenses, but one team has it a little bit easier than the other three.

The schedule-makers were kind to the AFC South, but they were particularly kind to one teal-colored team on a quest to repeat as division champs.

Because their division boasts some good defenses, and they all play the NFC West and AFC North's defenses, the entire AFC West is on notice for some tough matchups ahead.

With a bunch of suspect pass defenses in the division, the quarterbacks of the NFC East all carry appeal, but one team has a great second-half schedule.

The Packers should get off to a good start, but the Vikings are the ones with the chance to really run some numbers thanks to their dance card.

While things might start easy for the Panthers and Saints, it's the Falcons who have the easiest schedule, particularly in time for the second half of the season.

The NFC West boasts plenty of offensive firepower, but all four teams have scheduling issues that could curb some excitement in Fantasy drafts.
