Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the RB 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.
Huge numbers in 2008 (even splitting carries), catching the ball out of the backfield, running behind that awesome offensive line, and he's just 26 years old. Williams is finally a top 10 overall pick.
there's this guy in the panthers huddle that has been making these things for a while but he is really getting good.
this is the latest one that he made for the panthers '09 offense.
for the '09 ...
everything i have seen and heard from this guy lets me know that there is a huge shift in the defenses mentality. last year the defense had a "bend but don't break" mentality but meeks is bringing a "find who has the ball a break ...

Draft Analysis
Round 7, Pick 1
Positives I must, once again, invoke what my friend Agenda42 coined as the "Troy Hambrick Rule," which states "Any starting running back with a pulse is worth a sixth round pick." At 7.01, what's one pick between friends?
He did well enough last season, the starting job is his to lose if and when he loses it, and as a team, Carolina is on the good half of the run production list. Negatives He's got a rookie nipping at his tail, who is dramatically over-valued but will nonetheless probably eat into his production. I'm more optimistic about Williams than most, though, because the fact remains that Stewart is still injured, and even when healthy, rookies rarely make big impacts in their first seasons. The last year or so for rookies in this regard has been an exception in NFL history, not a rule.
In the worst case, an all-out time share, he should be hit-or-miss in any given week, and I only need him for one week. Let's hope that week is a hit. He also does not have nearly as cool a name as "Hambrick," but "DeAngelo" is clearly an improvement on "Julius" or "Jones." Draft Strategy (Contributed by: CleffedUp)
Round 7, Pick 2
Positives He's an experienced back whose sitting behind a rookie in the depth chart. If the rookie falters he could step in. Negatives He's an experienced back whose sitting behind a rookie in the depth chart. If the rookie is great (first round...) then he could be sitting for a long time. Draft Strategy In the seventh round you need to start making educated guesses. The sure things are long gone. But in this case I'm still choosing a guy who can play the position.
