Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the QB position. The best rating is +16 which gives the player the advantage against the defense and indicates an easy opponent, the worst rating is -16 which gives the defense the advantage and indicates a tough opponent.
Peyton Manning is the most consistent fantasy player of the last decade. He is one of the safest players to draft, and will continue to add to his already impressive resume in 09. Manning has displayed frustration over the personnel changes on the Colts coaching staff, but don't expect it to effect his performance come game time. The Colts o-line is not as dominant as it once was. After experiencing key injuries in 08, the line looks healthy entering the 09 season. Behind a healed front, Manning should have the time to find one of his many weapons. The Colts remain one of the best offenses in the game. Indy's superiority atop the AFC South has been a long one. The competition in the conference has evolved, and Indy is no longer a "shoe in" to win the division. The days of Indy's players sitting come playoff time, due to a season of domination may be over. This bodes well for Fantasy GMs who traditionally had to worry about the Colts studs sitting when it mattered.

Round 3, Pick 1
Positives Most consistent QB in football. Has not missed a start in 11 years. Now a full year removed from knee surgery. Negatives No longer has Marvin Harrison available (though Anthony Gonzalez seems to have enough talent to step in and produce Harrison's late career numbers). Running game is a bit of a question mark, but that could actually boost Manning's numbers. Draft Strategy I don't often advocate a QB this early, but WRs were flying off the board so quickly this year that I didn't see good value at that position. In that case I figured I'd lock up my QB situation early. There's no safer bet in fantasy than Peyton Manning. (Contributed by: Phyrre56)
