Strength of Schedule
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.
Fantasy Analysis

He is not a good fit for this offense, if there is a significant injury elsewhere during camp DA is a very likely trade candidate.

Passing: 940 Yards, 6 TD, 5 INT.
Rushing: 30 Yards, 1 TD.

Cleveland Browns Team Talk
OK, fellow Browns fans.... we have 4 NFL titles (50,54,55,64) and 4 AAFC titles (46-49) to our name, so let's not forget that we haven't ALWAYS been this bad...... I was born in 1966, so I haven't been alive for ANY of them, but I DO remember ...

Draft Analysis
Round 7, Pick 2
Positives
Was very good last season, putting up the 5th most TDs in a very strong year for QB production. Has an excellent array of weapons with Edwards, Winslow, and now Stallworth. Anderson is effectively auditioning for a new job, much like Drew Brees was with Philip Rivers waiting in the wings.
Negatives
Throws too many picks. If he gets off to a rough start, Brady Quinn is capable of taking his job. Much lower completion rate than the other QB1 options. Not a highly rated player out of college, and he was very mediocre in 2006.
Draft Strategy
The shark scoring system is not favorable for QBs, but you have to draft one eventually. Anderson represents a good risk/reward here, and his propensity to throw interceptions isn't punished much at all in this scoring system. (Contributed by: Agenda42)

Round 6, Pick 4
Positives
Prolific offense, lots of weapons and a good offensive line. No challenge from Brady Quinn this year either; Anderson is firmly ensconsed as the #1 QB for the Browns. Schedule is pretty fair for at least the first half of the season.
Negatives
Needs to cut down on INT's to step up to the elite, but he's already on the cusp.
Draft Strategy
I had actually considered going for one of my sleeper picks here, but Anderson was too strong a value to pass on, especially with Brady, Manning, Romo, Brees, and Big Ben already off the table (Contributed by: Ben_Ice)

Round 7, Pick 9
Positives
Plays on a high powered team that will score lots of points. Top 5 WR and top 5 TE on O along with a solid run game.
Negatives
Only one year of producing stats. Brady Quinn sitting behind him on a team that is pushing to make the play offs this year. Some are predicting a slow start or lack of production will lead to Quinn taking over.
Draft Strategy
One of the few QB's I thought you could draft this year in the 7th or 8th rounds that would produce consistantly. I refuse to overpay for a QB, especially in a 3pt per TD pass league like this. Has a chance to be top 5 if Cleveland is the real deal on this side of the ball. With 8 other QB's going before him, Anderson couldn't be passed late in the 7th IMO. 3 other QB's were taken in the next round so this was the right value at this point for Anderson.
