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.
Injury and elderly competition lead to the unwrapping of one of 08's most surprising superstars. Once thought to be a simple change-of-pace back, Steve Slaton proved to be anything but, as he collected 1,659 yards from scrimmage and double digit touchdowns. Slaton displayed great vision and patience rarely seen in a rook. Houston's passing options will keep defenses honest. Defensive coordinators will be reluctant to stack the box, creating running room for the elusive back. His receiving skills and home run capability make him a dangerous player in space. It will be difficult to live up to his 08 debut, but an impressive 09 encore is in order. The Texans are looking for a back to spell Slaton from time to time. Houston did little to back up their starter, and the supporting cast is average at best. Still, the situation is worth monitoring. If Houston opts to go with a short-yardage/goal-line back, Slaton's TD potential could be compromised.
Because they are shorthanded at defensive back, the Texans are bringing in veteran cornerbacks Deltha O'Neal, Mike McKenzie and Jason Webster for tryouts Thursday. With Dunta Robinson missing camp because of a contract dispute and Jacques Reeves and ...

Steve Slaton's 2008 season wasn't just nice. It was very nice. So nice that it is understandable to look at his production and project greatness for the Texans' second-year tailback. Slaton, who led the AFC in yards from scrimmage as a rookie, ...
If the Texans are unable to re-sign cornerback Dunta Robinson, it will change their philosophy entering the draft. Rather than pursuing a defensive end who can provide a pass rush opposite Mario Williams with their first-round pick, general manager ...

Draft Analysis
Round 1, Pick 7
Positives Explosive producer in a great offense coming off a solid rookie year, and heading up, I hope! Negatives Smallish, leading to injury potential. Unproven sophomore. Not the short yardage guy. Draft Strategy If he produces in this ppr league like Forte, at the 7, I am happy. I like his upside and consider him pretty low risk. His floor might only be a solid RB 1, but his ceiling is very high. (Contributed by: Pat_Smith)
