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.
Played with less burst and shiftiness last season than fantasy owners have grown accustomed, due to what has been described as an excruciating toe injury. There's that, the infamous shoulder injury which sidelined him in the playoffs before that, and the fact that he's now 30. Oh, and San Diego wants to continue to keep his backup plenty involved. Nevertheless, if he's even 90% healthy you've got to consider him in the first round of your fantasy draft. This is one of the greatest RBs ever to play that we're talking about; he could very well post MVP-caliber numbers this year and next, for all we know.
Yeah my chargers are 9-3 and doing great and have a good chance at the playoffs again this year. However I still hate Norv. I think he's a worthless pile of dog @#$@.
I must say I would love to watch San Diego go and win out and win the ...
Was not even paying attention but saw a picture on ESPN and checked it out. The chargers are only 1 game out from 1st place now in that AFC West.
Merriman is looking healthy, Rivers to VJAX has been amazing. Any way they can somehow pick up a run ...
FIRE NORV TURNER!!!!!!!!!!! I HATE THAT MAN.
He has been a thorn in SD's side since the day he walked into San Diego. I've been complaining for the past 3+ seasons with him and want him out!!!
Just wanted to vent and I just want that sorry ...

Draft Analysis
Round 1, Pick 1
Positives Consistently one of the top backs, year-in and year-out. He's in his 8th season and just turned 29, so he's still in his prime. Negatives Not much. Draft Strategy Safest choice available which is what you want at 1.01. (Contributed by: jdhowlett)
Round 1, Pick 1
Positives He's one of the best runningbacks ever, and that tinted visor looks fabulous with the powder blue uniform. Negatives No runningback has been as good, as healthy, for as long as LaDainian Tomlinson. Not Faulk, not Dickerson -- nobody. If you take the liberties found in modern mathematics, and treat future seasons as available but simply unobserved outcomes, every consecutive outstanding season becomes increasingly improbable. By this reasoning, a 7th consecutive outstanding season is highly unlikely. Draft Strategy If the only argument against the best runningback in the league requires the invocation of Marshall Faulk, Eric Dickerson, and the type of head-spinning math found in theoretical physics, you had better take him at 1.01.

Round 1, Pick 1
Positives He's LaDainian Tomlinson. Negatives I may not be good enough for him. Draft Strategy I just couldn't see going any other way with the first pick. He has a proven track record... maybe playing at this high a level for such a long time is unlikely but I'm not willing to bet against him. (Contributed by: Deckard)
