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.
After a disappointing 2007 performance Jones rushed for a team record 13 TDs. Hoping to cash in on his 2008 performance Jones sat out voluntary early spring team activities seeking a reworking of his current contract. The Jets did not re-work Jones contract but did acquire his possible successor by moving up in the third round of the 2009 NFL draft and selecting Iowa RB Shonn Greene. If you are targeting Jones use caution based on his age, injury history, and the possibilty of Washington seeing an expanded role in 2009.
The season isn't officially over and I think the Jets playoff run is giving Rex some sort of extra bravado to keep his mug in the limelight. I'd obviously prefer a low profile from my coach until the pre-season.
I'll preface this by saying that ...

Draft Analysis
Round 2, Pick 6
Positives Talented RB, proven production with Chicago. Up and coming team with the Jets, quality O-Line and coaching staff that likes to run the ball. Solid RB2 with RB1 potential Negatives Several Unknowns: Chemistry with team/coaching staff, workload, use in the receiving game. Draft Strategy My strategy was to go RB in the second if I could get Portis/T.Jones/MJD. I think there is a decent dropoff at RB after those guys, so I would have gone WR (S.Smith/C.Johnson) if those three were gone. (Contributed by: sloww)
Round 2, Pick 8
Positives should get the bulk of the carries,good rb,new team has good young O-line,had him ranked 13th Negatives getting older,injury prone qb,If Pennington goes down his #'s will suffer Draft Strategy Everyone was grabbing rbs.Peyton and S Smith were the only non rb's taken so far.I thought about Chad Johnson or TO but decided I had to take a rb since there were only 5 #2 rbs left on the board.My next pick was gonna be 9 picks away so most likely they would have all been gone by my 3rd rnd pick.So it came down to Jones or R Brown.I like Jones better.He's a better rb at this point in his career.better team,better o-line.I think the Jets will contend for a playoff spot while the Dolphins will be a basement team.Winning teams run the ball alot,losing teams throw alot cause they're always behind.I also figure since my next pick was only 9 slots away and only 1 wr off the board at this point I should still have a shot at an elite wr.

Round 2, Pick 10
Positives Proven RB. Easily the most experienced back on the team, so he should get the bulk of the carries. Jets have a young and improving offensive line. Despite 8 years in the NFL, he has only approached 300 carries twice, so not too much mileage on his tires. Negatives First season with a new team. Not a great pass catcher. Draft Strategy My plan at 2.10 was to try to get a marquee WR, but if there were none available, I'd fill my RB #2 position before it got too scarce. My targets were Steve Smith, Chad Johnson, or Torry Holt. (I had to eliminate the Colts WRs because my first pick was Joseph Addai. I don't want my players competing for points against each other.) Holt was snatched up two picks earlier, so I went with the next RB on my board, Thomas Jones. Now I'm free to pick up WRs that fall through the cracks as other teams fight over the remaining RBs.
