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.
Forte seized the job as a rookie last year, and now it is 100% his. His numbers catching the ball will put him well within the top 5 fantasy RBs. Draft him early and enjoy.
Found this:
"We're finally in the giant nebulous off season, and we are smack in the middle of a coaching search to fill the new offensive and defensive coordinator openings. Both of these positions are of great importance to the team, but ...
According to Bobby Wade, Urlacher told him Cutler's a p***y this past weekend in Vegas. Trouble in paradise? Said on KFAN, a Minny station.
670 the score is reporting that during OTAs there was a near altercation between Urlacher and Cutler ...
i never thought i would see that after last season....and cutler improved in week 2....but i'm extremely suprised olsen isn't getting many looks....is that maybe cause he's more of a threat now or what?
thoughts / opinions?
i hate benching ...
it's looking like not having Urlacher on the field really effects our team's moral.. Missed tackles, Harris' ejection, i mean come on!...

Draft Analysis
Round 5, Pick 7
Positives Forte is a Rookie Rb in a unique situation he has little to no competition for the starters spot right out of the gate. He proved a very capable talent at Tulane U putting up over 2400 total yds last season, but this is the NFL and this is the Chicago Bears .. but he's a big back that can do everything you want a starting RB to do and with Cedric "Bust" Benson in the rear view mirror his chances of being a solid producer seem reasonable and with only 1 RB rostered so far I needed a solid RB2 .. I think Forte will fill the bill nicely. Negatives Rookie RB for the Chicago Bears .. need I say more? Draft Strategy I had to land a solid RB 2 who will be a constant weekly starter and this deep into a Shark Draft that's a tall order .. but Forte should get every opportunity to be an every down RB for the Bears and with questionable QBing in Chicago Land whoever their RB is should be golden. Forte is my bet to win the job and give me 250 - 275 rushes and maybe 25 - 35 Receptions. (Contributed by: NSMapmaker)
Round 6, Pick 6
Positives Presumptive starter in Chicago. Should factor into the passing game, as he was a workhorse in college. Every down back with tons of upside, Chicago did not use a second round pick for nothing. Little comepetition, with cuts and injury weakening the Chicago backfield. Negatives Lethargic offense with unproven passing game, this rookie could see lots of 7-8 man fronts. Rookies are always a risk to play well too, but rb less so. Draft Strategy Looked hard at TE but lots of depth still there, so opted for some upside as well as some injury insurance. A little early for depth for me, but you take what the draft gives you.
