Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the TE 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.
Playing hurt last year, Antonio finished lower in every statistical category than he had since his rookie campaign. It is an alarming trend that starting with 2005, he's been targeted less each year than the one before; last year marked the first one in which Antonio received less targets than someone else on the team (Vincent Jackson). He remains a top-3 fantasy tight end, however, unless he reaggravates some type of injury prior to the regular season.
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 3, Pick 5
Positives Dominant last year, right up there with Gonzo at the TE position. Playing in an offense with alot of weapons so good things should continue. Negatives The treat of a hold-out!!!!!!!!!! Draft Strategy After I made my 2nd round pick i put 3 name down that I was going to target for rouns 3 (Owens/Gonzo/Gates) so when the other 2 went Gates was an easy choice. I got him with the 29th overall pick pretty much right where I ranked him. (Contributed by: nicos28)
Round 3, Pick 4
Positives Top TE in the league, bar none. Scores like a WR, and will be better this year than last. Negatives Contract dispute. Aside from that, he's gold. Draft Strategy Again...not my normal strategy. But seeing him still sitting at the #1 spot of TEs...I couldn't resist. As Agenda would say...VBD. Too much value to pass up for me.
Now I have issues in other spots... (Contributed by: Ed_Leduke)
Round 3, Pick 9
Positives Top notch TE more or less on par with Gonzo, and well above the rest. Like both of their teams, I'm counting on him to be a #1 receiver, conveniently fitting in that hard-to-fill TE spot. Negatives He's not Gonzalez. Draft Strategy At first I had fantasies of nabbing TO here with a bunch of pre-drafts waiting until I saw who was up -- I knew Agenda couldn't pass on a value like that. Draft coach aside, I simply have no idea how he fell this far.
Owens envy aside, Gates is way above the rest of the TEs remaining and being off of Joe Horn in my projections by only a bit, and well above Andre Johnson who is also due to come off of the board, he begs to be taken here. Wideout values decline on a fairly smooth slope, so I'm not worried about that position.
With most set with 2 RBs already, I'm banking on seeing the final throes of the first WR run, and will go for my #2 RB in the next round. Before then I don't expect more than 3 guys to go, and I can deal with the 4th. (Contributed by: CleffedUp)
