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.
Jackson has been injured the last 2 seasons and the victim of offensive line injuries. He has all the tools to be an elite running back if he can stay healthy. The Rams will definitely try to center the offense around and through Jackson giving him the potential to have a huge season. Don't be afraid to take him with a middle first round draft pick.
Don't know if any of you are left in the tank... but you know things are bad when you douse your coach in gatorade after beating the Lions in a meaningless regular season game.
The good news is we have now won all the games we should have won ...
Orlando Pace-T-Rams Apr. 23 - 7:01 pm et
Rams LT Orlando Pace is down to a "svelte" 320 pounds.
Pace, who is 6'7, normally plays in the 325-330 range but says he'll be "in the best shape possible" this season. He is ...
So, if we pick OT with the first, there won't be a LB in the 2nd.

Draft Analysis
Round 1, Pick 6
Positives A rushing and receiving threat who should see lots of scoring opportunities.
With Al Saunders at the helm, I expect Jackson to be the offensive focal point. The loss of Isaac Bruce also helps that aspect.
Plays the NFC West, lending to a favorable strength of schedule.
He's healthy (the groin injury is behind him now) and has very little pressure from his backups. Negatives The holdout.
Orlando Pace's health and durability. Draft Strategy If it weren't for the holdout, I don't see how I could have had a chance of seeing SJax at this point. I'm looking for something like 2006 numbers from him this year. (Contributed by: ledford1)
Round 1, Pick 6
Positives Proven producer who is once again healthy and well rested due to contract holdout. Schedule is favorable. No competition for carries. Is qaulity receiver out of backfield and should rank near top in PPR leagues. Negatives Contract holdout. Playing for average team at best. Draft Strategy (Contributed by: Thrashers)
Round 1, Pick 7
Positives I am happy with Steven Jackson falling to seven, he is without a doubt a top five pick in my opinion. Maybe the holdout scared some owners away? I think he will report in the next week or so and hopefully not participating in training camp will provide benefits later in the season. Negatives
