Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the WR 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.
After showing signs of life, Rice disappeared in 2008 as he couldn't get past Bobby Wade on the depth chart. The Vikings have drafted Percy Harvin, who will probably be in front of Rice on the depth chart. We advise looking elsewhere as we no longer consider Rice a sleeper.
And you can take it to the bank!
Ryan Longwell was on with PA today, and said Brett told him how much fun he had this year. Longwell (One of Brett's best friends on the team) is convinced he will be back.
Hopefully he gets rested up down ...

Draft Analysis
Round 11, Pick 12
Positives Young player with great skillset. Showed promise last year in a dismal passing offense. Passing offense should be improved for the Vikes in 2008. Negatives Risk associated with Tjax as the QB. Draft Strategy Great upside WR4 that I wanted to have behind Welker, Reggie Wayne and Cotchery. (Contributed by: checo446)
Round 13, Pick 2
Positives Had some very strong games in 2007, upside potential here is pretty solid for the 13th round of the draft. He'll be a starter for the Vikings. Negatives The passing game in Minnesota is not the place to look for fantasy excellence. Inconsistency will be an issue, as will enough yardage to consider any WR as a fantasy starter. Draft Strategy Since I grabbed WRs with 3 of my first 4 picks in the draft, I felt safe waiting until this point in the draft to grab a fourth. Rice will be my WR4, hopefully I won't even need to consider him as a starter. He does have the best upside from the available WRs. (Contributed by: doug_coutts)
