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.
He seems to have a brighter future than fellow Raiders back Justin Fargas, but it may not be clear until late in the preseason which one is the handcuff to Darren McFadden in the truest sense. It is likely that even if Fargas winds up with as many or more touches in '09, Michael Bush will be featured near the goalline to some extent. Worth grabbing late in drafts for really large leagues.

Draft Analysis
Round 16, Pick 2
Positives Big physical back with good hands for potential in the PPR shark leagues. potentially a goal line back for the Raiders Negatives Michael Bush and last years effective runner Justin Fargas are ahead of him on the depth chart. Not to mention he was shelved all of last year due his badly broken leg at the end of his college career. There may not be many opportunities in the Red zone on the Raider offense. Draft Strategy My last pick so I'm going on upside potential. Bush before the injury was quite possibly the greatest RB comming out of college since Bo Jackson. That said he might be injury prone as he has an upright running style. But his good hands and power running ability provide, if either of the two ahead of him falter or get hurt, The potential for superstardom he won't look back. (Contributed by: Mad_Puppy)
