Weeks 15–17, 2026 2026 through week 4

RB WR TE

Each offense's three opponents in weeks 15 to 17 and the average of what those defenses have allowed a game to tight ends this season, the softest slate first. What a defense has allowed is history. Across the whole league it has said little about the next game; at the two ends it has said more, and each block below gives that record.
