FantasyOmatic NFL Defense Impact — Week 2, 2026
Data last updated Sep 21, 2026 — Week 2, 2026 season.
Fantasy football ratings calculated from football data—not generated by a chatbot.
Our offensive ratings use statistical machine-learning models. AI Coach and Podcast use generative AI to explain published results and help you apply them; they do not calculate the underlying ratings.
The models are still learning. These ratings incorporate 1 of the first three completed 2026 weeks. Roles and usage may change more than usual.
Week 2, 2026 incorporates 1 completed current-season weeks. Training seasons: 2026. Defensive evidence is unavailable.
Model published: 2026-09-15T23:35:21.751817+00:00. Availability observed: 2026-09-21T22:01:55.025593+00:00. Publication updated: 2026-09-21T22:17:07.129914+00:00.
For long-term trades, treat rest-of-season and playoff values with more caution than one-week lineup decisions while current roles settle.
We use team rosters, injury reports, and game-day inactive lists to check who can play. “Expected to play” means we expect the player to play but have not confirmed it with current injury reports. “Playing status unknown” means we do not have enough current information to say whether the player will play. When playing status prevents us from showing a weekly rating, we show the status instead. The Overall rating remains visible.
The normal weekly model run is scheduled for Tuesday at 2 a.m. Pacific, after Monday’s games. Publishing waits for verified source readiness and retries hourly when needed. Availability refreshes follow official report deadlines and game-day inactive lists, with additional checks near kickoff.

How FantasyOmatic defense impact works
Defense impact uses the verified opponent-only model effect for each position group. Missing matchup evidence remains unavailable; weekly and overall display ratings are not subtracted to invent a defensive effect. Defensive efficiency allowed is the average fantasy points per touch the opponent gives up.
- Positive adjustment — the defense is a favorable matchup; a positive opponent-only model effect.
- Negative adjustment — the defense is tough; a negative opponent-only model effect.
- Per-position — QB, RB, WR and TE are rated separately, since defenses differ by position.
