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.
Taylor is a capable back, and he'll probably find himself as a starter somewhere in 2010 when he's a free agent. For 2009, temper your expectations. Peterson is and always will be the starter, and we even see AP as being on the field in passing situations more in 2009 than in 2008. Taylor will probably be the first backup RB taken, we'd advise using the pick on someone you can use.
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 ...

Round 7, Pick 9
Positives Was last year's #12 RB. Plays behind a dominant run blocking line. Is effective in the running and passing game. Plays Green Bay on the bye week of my starting backfield. Negatives In an RBBC with the most talented rookie in this year's draft. Not on a team that generates a ton of red zone opportunities. The passing game in Minnesota is not going to scare anyone. Draft Strategy I tend to like taking both halves of a talented RBBC to serve as my backup. It gives me a fairly solid guarantee of production, as an injury to either guy usually results in a very solid fantasy performer.
I thought about going WR here, but there are enough options left that I can wait for next round. I may not be able to secure Taylor on the next pass. Similarly, there are plenty of serviceable QBs to be drafting here. (Contributed by: Agenda42)
