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.
When healthy he's the lead guy, to compound that he's in a contract year and being drafted in the similar neighborhood as unproven young players and old retreads. Fast Willie may no longer be in his prime, but he's still a better option than those being drafted around him.
Man, what's up with losing at home to the crapball Raiders?
I'm bumbing about the Pats losing at Miami. But I can console myself somewhat by saying, Well, at least we didn't lose to the friggin Raiders....
I'm thinking we can still get in. We have to have Ben and Polamalu though. Anything less will prove to be the end of a promising year. I'm still disgusted with the chokes we've had this year. We should have beat the Bengals both times, the ...
Will the running game pick up?
How much are we missing Polamalu?
Can Ben do everything on offense?
Will the refs continue to let people hold Harrison every other play?...

15. Wide receivers Limas Sweed and Kevin Curtis will be available for trade this week. Do you think anyone takes one? I doubt ...

Draft Analysis
Round 5, Pick 2
Positives Consistently excellent yardage production, averaging more than 1500 yards from scrimmage over the past 3 seasons. The Steelers were third in rushing attempts last season, meaning there are plenty of carries to go around. It is not clear whether Parker will get the goal-line nod this season, but if he does, double digit TDs are a real possibility. Negatives Parker couldn't find the end zone on a map in 2006, tallying just 2 scores. The Steelers drafted Mendenhall, a big bruising back who's a threat to take carries from Parker. The departure of Faneca from the line is a serious concern for the power run offense the Steelers run. Draft Strategy With Westbrook starting and LJ missing a big chunk of 2007, I need a strong backup to carry the load during inevitable missed games. There are a lot of questions about Mr. Parker here, but he's also a fantastic RB3, better than many teams will have at RB2. (Contributed by: Agenda42)
Round 5, Pick 2
Positives Very durable, played 31 of 32 games the past 2 years. Will get about 30 or so receptions and this is a PPR league. Negatives Mendenhall will cut into his production but that could help his late season conditioning. Hopefully, Mendenhall doesn't become the goal line TD vacuum. Draft Strategy With the WRs all looking the same I had to get my RB3 since Peterson and Grant are both off week 8. Also, there's no way I wanted to let someone looking for their RB2 to luck into this guy in the 5th round. (Contributed by: Davlar8)
Round 5, Pick 2
Positives Looks strong in preseason, appears to have recovered from injury.
I expect him to get his share of TDs again this year. Negatives Probably more RBBC this year Draft Strategy Already have AP and Brandon Jacobs - Willie makes a nice third both to cover bye weeks and possibly more. Were still enough goos WRs around that I went for an RB with my 5 pick. (Contributed by: DAFLCommish)
