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.
The latest reports that I am seeing is that Westbrook is recovering from knee surgery ahead of schedule. It didn’t seem that long ago that I heard the exact opposite. I’ll follow the premise of latest news being more accurate than older news and assume he’ll be ready for Week 1. But this injury certainly has the attention of Fantasy Football owners around the country. Most mock drafts have Westbrook being taken a tad later in the 1st round, compared to last year. Given the fact that this talented runner will hit that dreaded birthday number (30) that all NFL RB’s fear (or at least they should) this September, he’s barely holding on to #1 fantasy RB status. You can expect some receivers and maybe even a QB being drafted before Westbrook this year.
First we lose the great Jim Johnson. Then we lose Stewart Bradley.who in my opinion was on course to prove himself ProBowl worthy this year. Now DeShaun Jackson hyper extends his knee (hopefully not serious), and promising rookie Cornelius Griffin ...
I, for one am glad to finally see some pizazz and variety to what till now has been a boring predictable offense. With McNabb due back this week, and moving forward, is it really a disruption to the offense or just him? :-k...
Eagles Juqua Parker, though, had the misfortune to be discovered with a small bag of marijuana in Bethlehem, as a passenger in teammate Todd Herremans' van early yesterday, during training camp, where every news outlet serving Eagles Nation is in ...
It makes sense that the Eagles might agree to at least guarantee some of the more than $19 million they are scheduled to pay Donovan McNabb over the next 2 years, and perhaps even boost that total. NFL Players Association figures released at the ...

Draft Analysis
Round 1, Pick 12
Positives Pass catching RB in a PPR league. New offensive play possibilities with the arrival of Vick Negatives Westbrook hits 30 this year and has ankle & knee issues already. Draft Strategy The top 2 WRs were already off the board, so Westbrook fell to the 12th spot. Despite the age/injury worries, could not afford to let a top RB fall any further. Make sure you handcuff him later in the draft with LeSean McCoy. (Contributed by: Sidewinder)
Round 1, Pick 9
Positives PPR monster, focal point of offense Negatives Getting a little older now, offseason surgurey Draft Strategy He was the best RB on the board IMO. Despite the rep that he sits out games, he only missed 2 games last year. He's constantly on the IR list, but often suits up. He's the player that can be drafted late 1/early 2 and end up top 5.
