Strength of schedule is calculated from the opponents projected fantasy points allowed for the QB 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.
Indications are out there that the Bengals want to run the ball more in 2009, given the nature of Palmer's injury in 2008 and the careful rehab process he has undertaken this makes sense. However, the team's offseason moves suggest otherwise. Given his current rate, I think taking the risk on him and finding out later if he bounces back as the Carson of old is the right move. Just be sure to pair him with another high upside option.
Thursday came the news of Chad Ochocinco saying that he wanted to see Terrell Owens sign with the Bengals. During a party in Miami on Friday, which was attended by coach Marvin Lewis, Owens said that he would change his name to Ochouno if he came to ...
I can't believe nobody comes to the team talk and we are 7-2. We should be 10- 2 after Oakland, Cleveland, and Detroit. At least 9-3. I thought at the start of the year we might be a fringe playoff team at 9-7, I couldn't see better than 10-6. ...
How long you been a bengal fan, how long have you live in or around the Cincinnati area?
Personally, Im tired of the Cedric Benson bashing; B. Scott aint doing squat until Benson goes down. It amazes me from a couple years ago listening to the ...
1. Everyone knows I have a man crush on Bernard Scott... He will probably get a little at first and I think he may end up getting as much as 40 to 50% by seasons end. Possibly more if Benson can't cure his fumbling and pass blocking woes.
2. Our ...
T.J. Houshmandzadeh's apparent exit raises questions about the status of Chad Ocho Cinco, whose trade value has fallen significantly in the past year. By trading him, the Bengals could make a clean break from the diva-receiver years, if they are so ...

Draft Analysis
Round 5, Pick 12
Positives Strong arm, great WR core, questionable run game forces him to pass more, and will be playing from behind as his defense smells like dog poo on a hot summer day... Negatives Tougher schedule for the Bungles? Can his offensive line protect him? Draft Strategy At 5.12 even with the 3 point per TD scoring, I could not pass on Palmer due to the value.

Round 4, Pick 7
Positives elite talent and great WR corps. Negatives Threw too many INTs last year. Draft Strategy I usually wait on my QBs, but given what was left on the board, Palmer was the best @ his position and there was a big drop off after him. (Contributed by: djsquillz)
Round 5, Pick 1
Positives Above average WR's and a (hopefully) solid O-line. Has proven he could finish top 3 at season end. Negatives Running game is suspect at this point, which could impact how defenses play him. Tough schedule. Draft Strategy I had to choose between Palmer and Winslow here and decided to wait until late to pick my TE. I'll try to build depth at RB and WR with my next picks.
